TP-Link UE300C USB-C to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter — 1000Mbps | USB 3.0 | Foldable Portable Design | Plug & Play | Windows 11 / macOS / iPadOS / Chrome OS / Linux

The TP-Link UE300C is built for MacBook, ultrabook, Chromebook, and iPad Pro users whose devices lack a built-in RJ45 Ethernet port — who need reliable, high-speed wired Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for home offices, corporate networks, hotel broadband, campus networks, gaming, large file transfers, and any application requiring the stability and speed of a wired 1000Mbps connection that Wi-Fi cannot consistently deliver.

The UE300C delivers Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Mbps) over a USB 3.0 Type-C connection — providing wired network speeds of up to 1000Mbps for fast file transfers, low-latency video streaming, stable VPN and corporate network access, and online gaming without the interference, congestion, or variable speeds of shared Wi-Fi. The AX88179A chipset is a proven, widely-supported Gigabit Ethernet controller that ensures reliable driver compatibility across operating systems without requiring third-party driver downloads on modern systems. Plug-and-play operation on Windows 11/10/8.1/8, macOS 10.6 and later, iPadOS, Chrome OS, and Linux OS (Ubuntu) means the adapter is immediately functional after connecting — no manual driver installation required. The built-in LED indicator provides at-a-glance network activity and connection status visibility. The foldable design allows the USB-C connector to fold flush with the adapter body when not in use — protecting the connector and reducing the adapter’s profile for compact everyday carry in a laptop bag or pocket. At 71×26×16.2mm and just 20g, the UE300C is genuinely pocket-sized and well-suited to ultrabook and tablet users who travel frequently.

Note: For Windows 7, a driver download from the TP-Link support website is required.
