The Manhattan USB 3.0 Gigabit Adapter is a compact, high-performance network adapter that allows you to upgrade your desktop or notebook computer to operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds on the LAN. Because it attaches to one of your computer’s USB connectors, there is no need to open up your PC — and the user-friendly setup software makes installation quick and easy.
Faster Throughput through SuperSpeed USB 3.0
Other USB Gigabit adapters that only support USB 2.0 can not even come close to the performance levels of this latest generation high-performance network adapter, since they are limited by the USB 2.0 bus design to a theoretical maximum of 480 Mbps. The Manhattan USB 3.0 Gigabit Adapter adapter knows no such limitations and delivers true gigabit performance without compromises.

The USB 3.0 Gigabit Adapter will automatically detect the network speed that the LAN switch port is set to and run at the same speed. The adapter supports 10Base-T Ethernet, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet.
Full Duplex
When running in full duplex mode, the USB 3.0 Gigabit Adapter connects at the following link speeds: 20 Mbps (10Base-T Ethernet), 200 Mbps (100Base-TX Fast Ethernet) and 2 Gbps (1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet).
