The Cable Matters USB 3.1 Ethernet Switch is the ideal solution for sharing wired network and Internet access with multiple USB and Ethernet devices. The switch combines the utility of a USB Ethernet adapter and the performance of a Gigabit Ethernet switch into a single portable adapter for wired network access.

Important Notes

• The USB port supports network connectivity on computers, laptops, tablets, and the switch game console. Smart TVs do not support Ethernet connection through USB.
• The adapter is bus-powered through the USB port. The adapter must be connected to a computer USB port, TV USB port, or a USB wall charger to function.
• If the USB host is powered off or enters sleep mode, other computers and devices may lose network connectivity. To keep the adapter powered when the computer is put into sleep mode, disable power-saving settings on your computer’s USB ports.

The switch connects up to four devices to a wired Ethernet network through RJ45 and USB. It is useful in a variety of situations at home and at the office. Bring the adapter to a conference room to share wired Internet with a laptop via USB, and a variety of other Ethernet-based devices like printers and other laptops. At home, provide wired Internet access to a game console such as the Nintendo Switch, smart TV, cable box, and streaming device for latency-free and full-speed Gigabit networking.
