Crestron ADPT-USB3.0-GBENET – USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter for Audio Isolation

Product Overview

The Crestron ADPT-USB3.0-GBENET is a USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter designed for use with Crestron conference room and collaboration system equipment. It provides wired network connectivity via a USB 3.0 host port while incorporating audio isolation to prevent ground loop noise in AV system installations.

Product Description

Many Crestron Flex and UC systems rely on USB connectivity for peripheral integration. When deployed in complex AV environments with multiple grounded devices, ground loops can introduce audible hum or noise into audio paths. The ADPT-USB3.0-GBENET addresses this by combining Gigabit Ethernet capability with audio isolation circuitry, ensuring a clean audio signal path even in electrically challenging installations. The adapter plugs directly into a USB 3.0 host port and presents a standard Gigabit Ethernet interface to the host device, requiring no additional drivers in supported operating environments.

Key Features

• USB 3.0 host interface with Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) output
• Built-in audio isolation to prevent ground loop noise in AV systems
• Compact form factor suitable for use with Crestron Flex and UC devices
• Plug-and-play operation in supported Crestron operating environments
• Reduces the need for separate audio isolation transformers in complex AV racks

Typical Applications

• Crestron Flex collaboration system deployments requiring wired Ethernet from a USB port
• Conference room AV systems where ground loops create audio noise issues
• UC Engine and compute device installations lacking an integrated Ethernet port
• AV-over-IP systems requiring isolated Ethernet connectivity to prevent interference

Technical Specifications

• Interface: USB 3.0 (host) to Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45)
• Network Speed: 10/100/1000 Mbps
• Feature: Audio isolation
• SKU: ADPT-USB3.0-GBENET
