Trouble-free connections through USB-Type-C

The USB-C connector is smaller and easier to use than previous USB connectors. Its a reversible plug so you can connect to your devices with either side facing up, without frustration or the risk of port damage.

With a compact design, this USB-C network adapter is as portable as your laptop, perfect for ultra-portable devices that have a USB-C port, such as the MacBook and Chromebook Pixel(TM). The network adapter is bus-powered which makes it easy to connect when youre on the go.
