Product Overview
The Black Box VA-USBC31-RJ45 is a USB 3.1 Type-C to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet adapter dongle for laptops, tablets, and workstations that lack a built-in Ethernet port. It connects via a USB-C port and delivers a standard RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet interface, ensuring wired network connectivity for USB-C-only devices in commercial AV, conference room, and enterprise environments.
Product Description
The VA-USBC31-RJ45 provides a reliable wired Ethernet connection for modern laptops and ultrabooks equipped with USB-C (USB 3.1) ports. The adapter presents a standard 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 interface compatible with any Cat5e or Cat6 patch cable. Unlike wireless connections, wired Ethernet through this adapter delivers consistent throughput and deterministic latency — important for real-time AV applications, video conferencing endpoints, and network management tasks. The bus-powered dongle requires no external power source, and driver support is built into Windows, macOS, and Linux for most deployments. The compact design is practical for traveling integrators, IT staff, and conference room users who need reliable wired LAN access without a docking station.
