The Axiom USB-A to Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 converter adapter allows your laptop, PC or tablet to instantly connect to a Gigabit network through a USB3.1 (Type-A) port. You can now add Gigabit Ethernet capabilities to a desktop or laptop, without opening the computer or taking up an available expansion slot and transfer large files over the network with access to true Gigabit speeds that USB 2.0 adapters cannot provide.
