- Meets USB 3.0 specifications. 2.0 and 1.1 - Supports Super High Full USB speeds - Supports all USB 3.0 power saving models - Supports Wake-on-LAN function - Supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet - Supports IEEE 802.1x and 802.1Q VLAN flow control - Supports jumbo frames up to 4000 bytes - Supports Windows 2000 XP Vista 7 8 and Mac X 10.xWith its speed of up to 5 Gbps. USB 3.0 is fast becoming the new standard in data transfer technology for PCs and notebooks. However. some computers have only 10 100 Ethernet ports. while Macbook Airs and. often. ultrabooks do not have an Ethernet port. Existing USB 2.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapters have the USB 2.0 maximum data rate limit of 480 Mbps. While our USB 3.0 adapter can reach speeds of up to 5 Mbps. Upgrade existing 10 100 Ethernet connectivity to super fast Gigabit speeds or introduce true USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in an ultrabook or Macbook Air.USB 3.0 The EU-4306 supports USB 3.0. The latest specification of the USB standard that sets a maximum data rate of 5 Gbps. USB 3.0 is up to ten times faster than the existing USB 2.0 standard. which is limited to the maximum speed of 480 Mbps. and allows the full Gigabit Ethernet capacity of 10 100 1000 Mbps to be achieved through an existing USB port without the need to install a Gigabit Ethernet card.Ideal for ultrabooks In case of ultrabooks or Macbook Air without Ethernet ports. use the USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter for easy Gigabit Ethernet network connectionplug-and-play. Bring the EU-4306 adapter. compact and portable. wherever you go with your laptop and ensure a fast and reliable Gigabit Ethernet connection whenever you need it. Provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to desktop computers. laptops. game consoles or home networking devices.Jumbo frame support Jumbo frame support can greatly improve network performance and increase actual bandwidth. Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames (packets of data) of up to 4000 bytes per frame. considerably smaller than standard 1500-byte Ethernet frames. Using larger frames means sending fewer frames to the network. thus improving CPU cycles and bandwidth. For some applications. especially those of typical use of Gigabit Ethernet such as transferring large files. the result is a remarkable increase in network performance.Power saving The EU-4306 adapter incorporates a power saving function to reduce electricity consumption by up to 35% when there is no Ethernet activity. reducing costs and helping to improve the environment. Windows 8 Fully compatible with Windows 8. for seamless use with new Windows 8 devices with the peace of mind that it won't be outdone in the foreseeable future.
