does it work like an extender ? can I hookup one side to my laptop and the other to a second adapter and project my computer image to a tv?
A shopper
on Jul 26, 2021
BEST ANSWER: No, this is a network adapter so that you can plug a network cable with an RJ45 connector into your computing device that has a USB-C port. At least that's what I bought it for. If you want to connect your computer to a TV you'll need to figure out what video-in ports your TV supports (probably HDMI, or DVI or DisplayPort, and maybe RCA?) and then get a monitor adapter like that.

Are you sure you're asking this question on the right product? This connects a computer to a wired Internet/network connection. Slimmer computers have no large full size USB ports (but have the smaller USB-C) and no network ports, so you need an adapter like this to plug a network cable into your computer.
Nothing at all to do with graphics or displays.

This is used so you can plug ethernet into your computer. It probably won't work as an output device. The adaptor for projecting your computer on a screen is this one: Monoprice Select Series USB-C HDMI Multiport Adapter

No, this is an ethernet adapter. Unless you have a smart TV and it is networked to allow "Casting" to it, I don't think this is what you are looking for.

Is this supported for Microsoft Windows 10?

on Jan 4, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes, I have used it on two different laptops running Windows 10. One is a Lenovo Yoga 370 plugging directly into a USB-C port. The other is an older ASUS laptop with only USB-A ports, so I used a USB-C female to USB-A male adapter added onto this Ethernet adapter and it worked perfectly.

Yes. It works with the late 2016 MacBook Pros and Windows PCs. I haven't tried it with the 12 inch MacBook. I haven't tried it with USB-C/USB 3.1 Gen 1, in other words the 5Gbps version of USB-C. I believe the Apple Late 2016 MBP ports support Gen 2 -- as does my Dell XPS 15 9550.

BEST ANSWER: When using Realtek's device driver (v10.34) for this Ethernet adapter Windows' Device Manager shows the "Jumbo Frame" property (in the advanced properties tab), and the largest Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) Value you can choose is "9KB MTU".
I have not been able to confirm this adapter properly sends and receives 9,000 byte jumbo frames, but some type of jumbo frame support is exposed through Realtek's driver for Windows 10.

Great little adapter, simple = bombproof
I have to make sure half a dozen different laptops can all connect directly to local routers... and none of the laptops have Ethernet ports anymore. This is the latest addition to my adapter collection, and it is excellent. Super fast, super simple, great fit & finish. And the polycarbonate case is easy to write on, for sake of organization (there can be a lot of cables and adapters at once!). Sharpie ink wont rub off.
No frills just function
