Know your gear
Use the USB-C port on your laptop to add LAN access with two Gigabit Ethernet ports and a USB 3.0 (Type-A) port. Now, you can add wired network access through the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your laptop or desktop computer, and connect to your USB 3.0 (Type A) devices with ease. This Gigabit Ethernet network adapter gives you access to two reliable GbE ports, and without having to install drivers. It's a great companion for your MacBook, Chromebook Pixel, Dell XPS 12, Dell Latitude 12 7000 Series 2-in-1 or another device that has a USB Type-C port.
The network adapter leverages the 5Gbps speed of USB 3.0 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) to deliver the full bandwidth of your Gigabit network connection, without bottlenecks. This saves you time by making it easier to access very large files over your network at Gigabit speed.
For added versatility, the network adapter supports a range of convenient features, such as Wake-On-LAN, VLAN Tagging, Crossover Detection and Auto-Correction (Auto MDIX), Checksum Offload (IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP), and Large Send Offload.
Some computers with USB Type-C only offer one USB-C port for external connectivity, which will not connect with your existing USB Type-A devices. This Gigabit adapter features an integrated USB 3.0 Type-A port, so while the adapter is connected to your computer to provide network access, you can also connect to USB peripherals that need a USB Type-A connector. The network adapter is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 systems.
Native driver support makes installation easy
Get up and running quickly. The network adapter provides native driver support to ensure a quick setup. Simply plug the adapter into the USB Type-C port on your laptop and connect to your network. The network adapter chipset offers native driver support in Chrome OS and Windows 8.1, and supports Mac OSX (10.10) with driver installation.
The USB Type-C connector is smaller and easier to use than previous USB connectors. It's a reversible plug, so you can connect to your devices with either side facing up. You can insert the cable the right way every time, without frustration or the risk of port damage.

Great for Macbook Pro, not for Parallels Desktop
Bought this a year ago, works great with Catalina, does NOT work with Parallels Desktop.. it even crashes the virtual machine. The housing is low quality, made from plastic.

Works great!
I bought this for a 15-inch MacBook Pro running macOS 10.15.7 Catalina. It connects to 2 networks and runs at full gigabit speed on both with no problem. Setup was easy, just had to install drivers from the StarTech site. Now waiting on macOS Big Sur drivers so I can upgrade to the latest macOS.

Still Waiting 2020 from
Still waiting for drivers
Purchased in December 2020 to do packet captures with 2020 MacBook Air (Apple M1 chipset). Upon reaccept, found that the manufacturer ASIX did not have working drivers for Mac OS 11 Big Sur. In January, they released some drivers and a workaround, but no Apple M1 silicon support. It is now July and still nothing.
