Perfect accessory
This is one of those small, but hard to find and useful accessories that you should always have on hand. This is especially true with new laptops. I own a Dell laptop that's small and portable, but unfortunately doesn't have an ethernet connection. I've found this to be the case with many small portable laptops that compromise functionality for size. This is fine, but it means having to buy those connections. That's why the plugable technologies usb C to ethernet cable is so helpful. I love that it has both a type C and USB connection so you can use it on many different types of computers including a PC or mac. The Ethernet connection will fit any ethernet cord and can connect to whatever connection you need. I use mine for whenever I need a hard connection to my internet to set it up since Wifi may not necessarily work. It's definitely made my life easier. I would recommend this to anyone who has a laptop or device without an ethernet connection. It will certainly be helpful especially if you need it urgently and will save you time having to go find it in a store later.

Excellent product
I got this about a month ago and have been using it for travel and it works perfect for the few items like phone, watch and laptop. It is easy to throw in your bag and take sloth with you while having a few different ports to charge different products at same time.

Easy to use
I bought this pluggable 2.5 USB Ethernet Adapter to try out on my laptop as it would no longer connect to my Wi-Fi. It did work for me however what I did not know at the time that my laptop was way too old for this to work to its full potential.
