USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with 100W Power Delivery Pass-Through for Simultaneous Network Access and Device Charging from a Single USB-C Port
The StarTech 1GPD3-USB-C-ETHERNET is a USB-C to Ethernet adapter that adds Gigabit network access to laptops, tablets, and iPhones while simultaneously charging through a 100W PD pass-through port. The Realtek RTL8153B chipset delivers multi-speed 10/100/1000Mbps connectivity over a 6-inch (15cm) attached cable, with native driver support that auto-installs on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux, and iOS without downloading software or connecting to the internet first.
This adapter stands out from basic USB-C Ethernet dongles by combining the 100W PD pass-through with enterprise IT features: PXE boot support for remote provisioning, Wake-on-LAN for remote management, VLAN tagging for network segmentation, and 9K jumbo frames for large file transfer efficiency. Weighing just 0.90 ounces in a Space Gray aluminum body, it works with Intel, AMD, ARM (Snapdragon), and Apple Silicon platforms including Thunderbolt-equipped devices.
Where the StarTech USB-C to Ethernet Adapter Fits
- Laptops with limited USB-C ports that need both Ethernet and charging where the 100W PD pass-through enables simultaneous Gigabit network access and device charging from a single USB-C port, eliminating the choice between connectivity and battery life during long work sessions
- IT departments provisioning and maintaining fleet laptops where PXE boot support enables network-based OS deployment, Wake-on-LAN allows remote power management, and VLAN tagging supports network segmentation for enterprise security policies across managed devices
- Remote workers and travelers needing reliable wired connections where the 0.90-ounce portable design provides faster, more secure Gigabit Ethernet access compared to Wi-Fi at hotels, coworking spaces, and client sites, with multi-speed support for any network configuration
What the StarTech USB-C to Ethernet Adapter Delivers
- 100W PD Pass-Through Charging: Connect your USB-C charger to the adapter's pass-through port for simultaneous Gigabit Ethernet and device charging from the same USB-C port. Supports up to 100W power delivery for full-speed laptop charging while connected to the network.
- Gigabit Multi-Speed Network: The Realtek RTL8153B chipset delivers 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation with 9K jumbo frame support for efficient large file transfers. Works over standard Cat5e cabling with no additional configuration required.
- Enterprise IT Features: PXE boot support enables network-based provisioning, Wake-on-LAN (WoL) allows remote power management, VLAN tagging supports network segmentation, and Promiscuous Mode enables network diagnostics and monitoring.
- Universal Driverless Compatibility: Native driver support auto-installs on Windows 7+, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux (Kernel 4.19+), and iOS. Works across Intel, AMD, ARM (Snapdragon), and Apple Silicon platforms including all Thunderbolt-equipped devices.
- 0.90-Ounce Portable Design: The Space Gray aluminum body with 6-inch (15cm) attached cable weighs under an ounce, fitting in any laptop bag pocket for grab-and-go connectivity at client sites, conferences, and remote work locations.
