StarTech USB 3.0 to Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter NIC w/ USB Port

StarTech USB 3.0 to Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter NIC w/ USB Port

The USB32000SPT USB 3.0 to Dual-Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter adds two Gigabit Ethernet ports to your laptop, desktop, Ultrabook™ or 2-in-1 computer through a single USB-A port.

An integrated USB 3.0 pass-through port keeps your USB connection available for external storage devices and other peripherals.

Dual Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity

Each RJ45 port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and complies with IEEE 802.3i, IEEE 802.3u and IEEE 802.3ab standards.

The adapter also supports crossover detection and automatic correction through Auto-MDIX.

Connect to Two Networks Simultaneously

The dual-port design lets you connect your computer to two separate physical networks at the same time.

By taking advantage of USB 3.0 bandwidth of up to 5 Gbps, the adapter can provide dedicated Gigabit connectivity to each Ethernet port. It is ideal for IT administrators who require dual-homed or multi-homed systems.

Ideal for Virtual Machines

The dual USB network interface is well suited to virtual machine configurations, allowing dedicated physical network connections to be assigned to different virtual environments.

Advanced Networking Features

The adapter uses the ASIX AX88179A chipset and supports:

• IPv4 and IPv6

• Checksum Offload Engine

• TCP Large Send Offload

• Jumbo Frames

• Full-duplex operation

• IEEE 802.3x flow control

• VLAN tagging

• Wake-on-LAN

These features can improve network efficiency while reducing the processing load on the host computer.

Broad Operating-System Compatibility

The adapter provides plug-and-play connectivity on supported systems and is compatible with:

• Windows 7 and later

• Windows Server

• macOS 10.14 and later

• Linux Kernel 2.6.25 and later—LTS versions only
