Reliable, convenient and sturdy

Very happy with this network switch. It makes computer network troubleshooting much easier. I also use it when commissioning and troubleshooting solar inverters. Often times we run a single network cable to commercial systems, and being able to jump into the network at any device is very helpful.

I do wish it had a couple standard USB ports, so I wouldn’t have to lug around an adapter, if and when I need one. It’ll be a long time until I don’t need that.

I use it with my Dell XPS 13” laptop and it has 4 usb c /thunderbolt ports. I’ve also tested it with a 15” Mac book pro. Both work well.

Best Device I bought for my job as a field service engineer.

This switch has solved so many problems that I have had to tap into an ethernet network.
I am a Controls Engineer and I program factory machines. Often I need to connect to the network on remote i/p devices when the main switch is in the main cabinet and too far to connect. I use this switch on my PC, then I use 2 ethernet cables and one female to female connector end to tap into the network at and device.

This works just as described. Shows up as a NIC on the USB-C device and works as a switch between that and the other 4 ports. Awesome for setting up new network gear or a quick gigabit network. Used it on mac and Linux with no problem.

Plug and play on Arch Linux, but a couple of caveats

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

Tested with Arch Linux on x86_64, 6.0.y through 6.5.y kernels and Linux-Firmware 20220913 to 20230908. Kernel modules are auto loaded on reboot, interface just works under networkmanager or systemd-networkd control.

Iperf3 testing shows 920+/- 30 Mbps using bbr congestion protocol on both ends, which is as good as you can expect from a properly working gigabit connection + usb3.

Contrary to reports I have seen elsewhere for this device, it does NOT stall / crash your whole LAN when the USB host device reboots or powers off. However, it is very helpful to the stability of this device to turn off certain features using ethtool:

ethtool -K <interface name> tx off rx off scatter-gather off

Works as advertised

Very easy to setup and use. Love the fact that you do not need to also carry a power supply.

Interesting and Useful Product That Works Great

Have had a need for a multiport ethernet adapter for sometime and stumbled upon this. So far has worked exactly as expected. The USB-C connection is perfect and the ethernet switching functions as expected. Currently using it for the LAN side of a Hyper-V virtualized router and is perfect for my application

Solid piece of gear.

Basic Ethernet switch USB C so it’s convenient to add to notebooks without Ethernet ports.
I use to configure ethernets devices in an environment with multiple cables so it’s perfect for what I use it for. Unit is still newish so reliability is still a wildcard. Good so far I update if anything should change.
**UPDATE: GOOD NEWS. Using in a mission critical capacity 24/7. Unit holding up. Bought another to travel with.

USB-C adapters, plugged into power but not a computer, will stall your LAN

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2021

This is probably not Cable Matters’s fault, but this is a problem pretty much across the industry.
If you plug one of these into a USB hub or dock with USB-C ports, and you unplug the computer that’s using it, you can very well bork your entire LAN. This problem has apparently existed for a few years now, and nobody’s updated their USB-C Ethernet adapter firmware to account for it.

Basically, if you’re not plugging this directly into your laptop or desktop computer, you’ll need to unplug it at the same time as said computer if your internet goes down every time the computer itself is unplugged.

Best way to split a network line when you need to join a wired network, no external power required, just USB on the PC and a couple network cables and your connected. 100% 5 stars.

Sometimes you need a mini-hub on your desk especially when on the move and perhaps needing to setup more than one device. This does what’s expected and allows more than one ethernet device to be connected up to a MacBook.
