Ideal for professionals needing reliable wired connections and versatile peripheral access on the go.

## Description

Now, you can add wired network access through the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your laptop or desktop computer, and connect to your USB 3.0 (Type-A) devices with ease. This Gigabit Ethernet network adapter gives you access to two reliable GbE ports, and without having to install drivers. Powerful Gigabit network connections The network adapter leverages the 5Gbps speed of USB 3.0 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) to deliver the full bandwidth of your Gigabit network connection, without bottlenecks. This saves you time by making it easier to access very large files over your network at Gigabit speed. For added versatility, the network adapter supports a range of convenient features, such as Wake-On-LAN, VLAN Tagging, Crossover Detection and Auto-Correction (Auto MDIX), Checksum Offload (IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP), and Large Send Offload. Add connectivity to your USB devices This Gigabit adapter features an integrated USB 3.0 Type-A port, so while the adapter is connected to your computer to provide network access, you can also connect to USB peripherals that need a USB Type-A connector. The network adapter is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 systems. Native driver support makes installation easy The network adapter provides native driver support to ensure a quick setup. Simply plug the adapter into the USB Type-C port on your laptop and connect to your network. The network adapter chipset offers native driver support in Chrome OS and Windows 8.1, and supports Mac OSX (10.10) with driver installation. Trouble-free connections through USB-Type-C The USB Type-C connector is smaller and easier to use than previous USB connectors. It’s a reversible plug, so you can connect to your devices with either side facing up without frustration or the risk of port damage. US1GC301AU2R is backed by a StarTech..

Review: Double Dose of Connectivity Magic! - Being a computer engineer, I get to play around with a lot of tech goodies. But let me tell ya, this StarTech.com USB-C to Dual Gigabit Ethernet Adapter impressed my socks off. The convenience factor is real, folks! With two ethernet adapters coming in the same tiny dongle, it's like a pocket-sized Titan of connectivity! And we're not just talking a two-trick pony, this baby comes with an extra USB 3.0 (Type-A) port. It's like that bonus cherry your favorite ice cream shoppe throws in - unasked but oh so welcomed. What warmed my tech-savvy heart was the easily identifiable MAC addresses on the bottom. Nothing irks me more than having to play guessing games about which port is which. Smooth move StarTech, smooth move. If this bad boy was a flash drive, it would be the superhero one, complete with a cape and a 'USB-C' emblazoned on its chest. For connectivity that's more co-operative than a disciplined marching band, this is a piece of kit that definitely gets my nod of approval!
Review: Easy to use - 2018 MacBook Pro 13in works great. They make quality products.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use
*by B***G on June 7, 2019*

2018 MacBook Pro 13in works great. They make quality products.

### ⭐ They fail
*by L***N on May 16, 2026*

Update: It is the second startech dual NIC I buy, and the second that malfunctioned after a year or so. It starts failing the second NIC, but eventually it ends up with intermitent fails on the first one too. It is a nice idea, but the execution is poorly done
