Simply plug it in, connect it to your network, and you're ready for action. With the reliability of a wired connection, you can transfer large amounts of data with confidence-or stream audio and video without fear of interruption. Unlike traditional USB cables that can only be attached one way, the U436-06N-GB's reversible Type-C connector plugs into your device's USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port in either direction. No more fumbling around with cables, trying to get the right connection. With plug-and-play installation, the user-friendly U436-06N-GB gets you up and running quickly with an instant USB network connection.
