Axagon ADE-TXCA USB-C + USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 - Gigabit Ethernet adapter, Asix AX88179

The external network card AXAGON ADE-TXCA easily converts USB-C or USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port to Gigabit Ethernet port. Thanks to the cable with USB-C connector, on which the USB-C -> USB-A reduction is attached, you can connect the Ethernet adapter to any computer, tablet or phone. USB network adapter compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s expands the computer with a fast and stable network connection, adds the missing RJ-45 network connector, adds another network card, or replaces the original non-functional network connection.

In addition to gigabit throughput, the LAN adapter offers a wide range of features such as IPv4/IPv6 checksum to reduce CPU load by checksums, the crossover detection and auto-correction, TCP large send offload, support for various modes of the Wake-on-LAN feature, the work with VLAN and advanced Power Management features.

The metal adapter cover is made of aluminum and provides perfect mechanical protection and excellent heat dissipation. Due to its minimal dimensions and weight, it is an ideal accessory for laptops and other mobile devices. The support for current versions of Windows, macOS, and Linux, Chrome or Android operating systems allows it to be used for any desktop, laptop or ultrabook equipped with a modern double-sided USB Type C connector or a classic USB-A connector. In Windows from version 8.1 and above, the adapter enables easy automatic installation without the need for an Internet connection. The Ethernet adapter will also be used by users of tablets or mobile phones supporting the possibility of a wired Ethernet connection. In addition, thanks to the chip used, the adapter is also supported by the operating system of Nintendo Switch game consoles.
