- Supports jumbo frames up to 4000 bytes
- Supports Window 2000/XP/ Vista/7/8 & Mac OS X 10.x With speeds up to 5 Gbps, USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 is fast becoming the new standard in data-transfer technology for PCs & laptops. However, some computers only feature 10/100 Ethernet ports while Macbook Airs & often Ultrabooks don′t feature Ethernet ports at all. Existing USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapters are limited by the USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 maximum data rate of 480 Mbps while our USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 adapter can reach speeds of 5 Gbps. Upgrade existing 10/100 Ethernet connectivity to super-fast Gigabit speeds or introduce USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 true Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to an Ultrabook or Macbook Air. USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 The EU-4306 supports USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0, the newest
Specification of the USB (Universal Serial Bus) standard which specifies a maximum data transmission speed of 5 Gbps. Up to ten times faster than the existing USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 standard which is restricted to a maximum speed of 480 Mbps, USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 enables the full capacity of 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet to be reached through an existing USB (Universal Serial Bus) port with no need to install a Gigabit Ethernet card. Ideal for Ultrabooks For Ultrabooks or a Macbook Air with no Ethernet port, use the USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter for simple plug-&-play Gigabit Ethernet network connection capability. Take the compact, portable EU-4306 wherever you take your laptop & ensure you stay connected to fast, reliable Gigabit Ethernet whenever you need. Provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for desktops, laptops, game consoles or home network appliances. Supports Jumbo Frames Support for jumbo frames can offer dramatic improvements in network performance & raise effective bandwidth. Jumbo frame are Ethernet frames (data packets) of up to 4000 bytes per frame, in comparison with standard, significantly smaller 1500 byte Ethernet frames. Using larger frames means that fewer frames are sent across the network which improves CPU cycles & bandwidth. For some applications, especially those typical of Gigabit Ethernet use such as large file transfers, the result is greatly increased network performance. Power Saving The EU-4306 incorporates a power saving feature to reduce power consumption by up to 35% when there is no Ethernet activity, reducing costs & contributing to a better environment. Windows 8 Full compatibility with Windows 8 for hassle-free use with brand new Windows 8 devices & future-proof peace of mind.
