StarTech USB4-10GBE-ETHERNET 10GbE USB4 Adapter

Bring 10GbE to modern USB-C systems without opening the chassis or adding a full-size NIC. The StarTech USB4-10GBE-ETHERNET adapter turns a USB4, Thunderbolt 3, 4, or 5 port into a multi-gigabit RJ45 connection, giving laptops and compact workstations direct access to 100 Mbps, 1 GbE, 2.5 GbE, 5 GbE, and 10 GbE networks. Built around the ASMedia ASM2464PDX and Marvell AQC113 chipsets, it is designed for sustained wired throughput up to 10 Gbps and dependable NBASE-T negotiation across mixed-speed infrastructure. That makes it a strong fit for teams moving large VM images, media assets, backups, or engineering datasets over copper without bottlenecks. The detachable 19.6 in USB4 cable keeps desk layouts clean and gives you flexibility when docking or traveling between workspaces. Plug-and-play support on Windows 7 through 11 and macOS 14.2+ reduces deployment friction, while Wake-on-LAN and autonegotiation support help it fit into managed environments. For organizations standardizing on USB-C endpoints but still depending on high-speed Ethernet, this adapter closes the gap with a compact, purpose-built design.
