Introduction


The USB 2.0 Gigabit Network Adapter (hereafter referred to as the Gigabit Adapter) is
specifically designed to plug into any available Universal Serial Bus port of a desktop or
laptop PC. The Gigabit Adapter is for users who wish to connect to a 10Mbps, 100Mbps
or 1000Mbps Fast Ethernet LAN using the convenience and ease of USB technology.

The Gigabit Adapter complies with USB Specification 1.0/1.1/2.0. It uses an USB type B
connector to connect directly to the USB host computer and a RJ-45 connector provides
a quick and simple method of connecting to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network.

This low power-consuming device draws power from the host USB bus directly, so no
external power supply is required. Simply connect the USB port of this device to the
computer and plug a standard twisted-pair Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port, and you’ll
be networked in no time. This device offers a simple way to connect to your network.
