Add a wired Gigabit Ethernet connection to a USB-C-equipped laptop or tablet when wireless access is unavailable, restricted, or unsuitable for the task. The TP-Link Omada UE300C connects to the host through USB 3.1 Gen 1 USB-C and presents one RJ45 Ethernet port supporting 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps link speeds. It draws operating power from the host connection, so no separate power supply is required. The adapter supports Chrome OS, Linux, Windows, and macOS for mixed endpoint environments where a native Ethernet jack is absent. Plug-and-play operation avoids an additional hardware adapter between the computer and network cable. Connect the RJ45 port to an existing switch, router, dock-side patch lead, or structured-cabling outlet using a standard Ethernet patch cable. Its foldable enclosure measures 2.8 x 1 x 0.6 in., keeping the adapter small enough for a laptop bag or technician kit. That compact folding format distinguishes this USB-C model for temporary desk connectivity, network diagnostics, travel, and mobile workstations that need a physical Gigabit connection without carrying a dock. The single-port design provides a direct Ethernet interface rather than expanding the host with unrelated peripheral ports.
