It’s ideal for mobile use, providing you with wired network connectivity wherever you go, and letting you plug in extra USB peripheral devices. It also has a built-in USB-Type-C cable so it’s always there when you need it.
• The USB-C network adapter lets you power and charge your laptop as you work while powering the hub at the same time. The adapter supports Power Delivery 2.0, so instead of carrying multiple power adapters, you can use your laptop’s USB-C power adapter to power both your laptop and network adapter. Note: just make sure your laptop’s USB-C-based power adapter supports USB Power Delivery 2.0.
• Get up and running quickly. Simply plug the adapter into the USB Type-C port on your laptop and connect to your network. It automatically installs once you connect it, and works with a wide range of operating systems such as Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS.
