Tripp Lite U336-000-R Usb 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE U336-000-R is a USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter that adds a wired RJ45 network port to any device with an available USB 3.0 host port. Designed for technicians and installers who need reliable, high-speed wired connectivity without a built-in Ethernet interface, this adapter bridges USB and standard 802.3 network infrastructure. It suits environments where Wi-Fi is not permitted or where consistent low-latency throughput is required. The unit ships individually and is suited for IT, AV signal processing, and structured-cabling installations where a compact, portable network adapter is needed.

This adapter is appropriate for use in commercial and residential AV or IT deployments where a laptop, mini-PC, thin client, or similar device lacks a native Gigabit Ethernet port. It connects directly to standard Cat5e or Cat6 patch cabling via the RJ45 port and draws power from the host USB bus, requiring no external power supply. Installers working on AV signal processing racks, network drops, or temporary service connections will find this a practical add-on tool.

Key Features

• USB 3.0 host interface for high-speed data throughput to Gigabit Ethernet
• RJ45 port supports standard Cat5e and Cat6 patch cabling
• Bus-powered design requires no external power adapter
• Compact form factor suited for field service and permanent rack installations
• Single-unit packaging for individual deployment or kit builds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter for devices equipped with a standard USB 3.0 Type-A host port requiring a wired RJ45 network connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by IT technicians or AV integrators and requires no special tools beyond a standard patch cable. Connect the adapter to an available USB 3.0 port on the host device before attaching the RJ45 network cable. Confirm the host operating system recognizes the adapter and loads the appropriate driver before relying on the connection for production use. No power shutdown of building systems is required, but follow site IT security protocols before connecting to managed network infrastructure.
