  • Supports true 10/100/1000 Mbps network speeds
  • LEDs indicate activity and link
  • USB-C charge port connects to wall charger to power device
  • Compatible with Windows, Mac and Chromium
  • Plug-and-play—no software or drivers required
  • 3-year limited warranty

Overview

The U436-06N-G-C USB 3.1 Gen 1 USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet NIC Network Adapter allows USB Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 computers, laptops, tablets and other compatible devices without an NIC (Network Interface Controller) to connect to a network or the Internet using an RJ45 cable. It’s a more convenient and less expensive way to connect to a network than opening your device and installing an internal Ethernet card.

No software or drivers are needed. Connect the adapter’s USB-C male plug to the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your device. Then, connect the adapter’s RJ45 port to a network using a UTP cable, such as N201-Series Cat6 cables. The U436-06N-G-C allows you to transfer data quickly and stream audio and video at true 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds. Two status LEDs illuminate when the adapter is successfully connected to the network (link) and transferring data (activity).

The USB-C charging port supports power input up to 20V 3A (60W). It powers the device that the U436-06N-G-C is plugged into by connecting the charging port to a USB-C wall charger.

Compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab and 802.3az standards. Supports 10/100/1000 auto-sensing, twisted-pair crossover detection, auto-correction and Wake-on-LAN power management. Compatible with Windows, Mac and Chromium operating systems. Backward compatible with previous USB versions.

Questions & Answers

USB Type-C (or USB-C) is a new, smaller and very versatile connector with a reversible-plug that is capable of carrying data, video and power. USB Type-C is expected to eventually replace the USB Type-A and Type-B connectors currently in use. USB Type-C connectors are used in USB 2.0, USB 3.0 (also described as USB 3.1 Gen 1) and USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) applications.

Until recently, most USB cables have had a Type-A connector on one end and a Type-B connector on the other. A Type-A connector is typically connected to a desktop computer or laptop. Type-B connectors (standard, mini and micro versions) typically connect to a peripheral such as a printer, phone or camera. With a USB Type-C cable, both ends can be the same. Type-C can also support faster data transfer speeds and higher power output.

Combined with the new USB 3.1 Gen 2 standard (also called SuperSpeed+), USB Type-C can transfer data twice as fast as USB 3.0 (also described as USB 3.1 Gen 1), up to a maximum of 10 Gbs. It supports USB Power Delivery, a new protocol that allows significantly more power to be provided over USB, up to 100W. Not all USB Type-C cables and devices support USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.1 Gen 2, or USB Power Delivery, so make sure to check the specifications of your equipment to see what it supports.

Your device must have a USB Type-C port to accept a Type-C connector. Older USB devices can connect to a Type-C compatible phone, tablet, or laptop using an adapter cable (e.g. Type-C connector on one end and a Type-A or Type-B connector on the other). Some devices with USB Type-C ports still use the older USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 (also described as USB 3.1 Gen 1) standards. If you have a device with a USB Type-C port running USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps), you can still use older peripherals since USB 3.1 Gen 2 is backwards compatible with USB 3.0 (also described as USB 3.1 Gen 1), USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. Conversely, if you have a SuperSpeed+ peripheral with a Type-C connector, you can connect it to a Type A port running USB 3.0 (also described as USB 3.1 Gen 1), USB 2.0 and USB 1.1.
