StarTech.com USB 3.2 100Mbps Network Speed USB Ethernet Adapter, 6 in, Grey

StarTech.com USB Ethernet Adapter, 100 Mbps Network Speed, Grey - C22G-USB-ETHERNET

This USB Ethernet adapter provides a wired network connection for devices with a USB Type‑C port, enabling reliable LAN access where built‑in Ethernet is absent. Designed for professionals in automation, electronics and mechanical fields, it delivers a stable link for data transfer and networked testing using contemporary USB 3.2 interfaces and recognised Ethernet signalling standards.

Features and Benefits:

• Supports 100Mb/s network speed for consistent throughput USB 3.2 host Interface reduces latency on high‑rate transfers Compatible with IEEE 802.3u 100Base‑TX networks for broad interoperability Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging to segment traffic effectively Works with IEEE 802.3x flow control to prevent packet loss under load USB Type‑C connector provides reversible, modern connectivity

Applications

• Suitable for field diagnostics on PLCs and control networks Ideal for laptop‑based firmware updates over a wired LAN Used with network test equipment requiring 100Base‑TX links Can be used for segregated VLAN access in lab environments Used for temporary wired connections on production lines

Which physical connector do I need on my host device?

It requires a host with a USB Type‑C receptacle to mate with the adapter’s USB‑C plug.

Will it support higher than 100Mb/s links on compatible switches?

The device is specified for 100Mb/s operation
higher Interface standards listed indicate compatibility with various Ethernet signalling methods but the operating network speed is 100Mb/s.

Which Ethernet standards does it implement for wired communication?

It implements IEEE 802.3i 10BASE‑T and IEEE 802.3u 100Base‑TX signalling along with flow control and VLAN tagging protocols.

What cable length should I expect from the unit?

The integrated cable measures 6in for a Compact connection to nearby hosts.

What colour and appearance does it have for inventory identification?

The unit is supplied in grey for easy Visual identification on workbenches and racks.
