Introduction
The USB31000SPTB USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter lets you add a Gigabit
network port to your laptop or Ultrabook™ computer through a USB 3.0 port, and

Jumbo Frames, full-duplex operation with 802.3x flow control and VLAN tagging are also supported, making this an efficient and full-featured USB network adapter.
