And then, after a few seconds, it was working. In both cases it was just a matter of plugging it into the USB Type-C port. I tried the unit with both a new MacBook Pro and with a Windows computer equipped with USB Type-C. Lesser Ethernet connections support only one tenth of that. That is 1000BASE-T, with up to a notional 1000 megabits per second throughput.
The important point is that this adaptor supports Gigabit Ethernet. There are a variety of Ethernet standards. The whole thing is 15cm long and will use just about no room in your computer carry bag. But the things I most like about USB Type-C are that the plug is reversible – either way up will do – and easy to insert, unlike every previous form of USB.Īt the other end of the cable is an Ethernet socket encased in a shiny black plastic case. Some of the advantages claimed or USB Type-C are higher data throughput and sometimes support for Thunderbolt 3. The Belkin adaptor does not require that. But Version 3 of the Thunderbolt standard, developed by Intel and first widely deployed by Apple, is also supported by some USB Type-C systems. At this point USB Type-C typically handles USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 data. USB Type-C is just the plug design, not necessarily the signal format. On one end of a short cable is a USB Type-C plug. USB Type-C, USB-C: both mean the same thing. And since USB Type-C is the way of the future, I asked Belkin if it could supply its “USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter” for review. So assuming my assertion is correct, how do you add Ethernet to computer? The simplest way is to use a USB adaptor.
