The LevelOne USB-C Hub and Gigabit Ethernet Combo Adapter allows you to connect to the internet easily through the built-in USB-C port on your laptop. This is an ideal solution for MacBook or other Windows computers that may have wireless built-in but don''t come with an Ethernet port. Sometimes you need to physically connect to a network cable to help transfer files or access secure information. The USB-0504 easily does the job, all through your USB-C port. The USB-0504 also combines a regular USB hub. So you can connect external USB peripherals, such as a MP3 player, digital camera, printer or pen drive. The USB-0504 establishes a direct point-to-point contact between the hub and the adapter that plugged into your PC. The USB-0504 is USB 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 compliant. It also follows the Ethernet standards set by the IEEE 802.3/3u and 802.3ab, allowing you to take advantage of Gigabit Ethernet speeds of up to 1000Mbps. This provides a strong backbone for any high-speed broadband connection to the internet as well as fast speeds for the Local Area Network file transfers. This makes the USB-0504 the best choice for reliability, efficiency and standard compliance.
