The DUB-1312 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter allows you to instantly add gigabit connectivity to your desktop, notebook, or netbook computer. Just plug the DUB-1312 in to an available USB 3.0 port and you're ready to connect to your switch, hub, or router with the speed and reliability of a wired gigabit connection.

Fast Ethernet Connectivity
The DUB-1312 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter plugs into any available USB port on your computer to enable you to connect to an Ethernet network at speeds up to 1 Gbps. High-speed gigabit Ethernet allows you to transfer large files in no time, or make light work of backups to a server or network storage device. The adapter eliminates the need to open your computer to install a network card, and it also keeps your computer's expansion slots free for other uses.

Easy to Install and Use
The DUB-1312 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter connects to your computer's USB 3.0 port and is ready to run almost as soon as it's plugged in. There is no need to change any configuration settings on your computer, as the drivers are installed automatically after you insert the included installation CD1. For extra convenience, the adapter's compact design means you can easily slip the DUB-1312 into your pocket or laptop bag and take it with you.

Energy-saving Functionality
Power to the DUB-1312 is provided directly by the USB port, eliminating the need for an external AC power adapter. The DUB-1312 not only supports the USB 3.0 standard's power-saving features, but also includes an energysaving suspend and resume function to minimize power consumption when network traffic is light, the device is idle, or when the Ethernet cable is unplugged. This feature is especially useful if you are using a notebook or netbook computer, as it helps conserve battery life, allowing you to keep working for longer without needing to recharge.
