This device plugs into the USB-C which is smaller than the traditional USBs. An ethernet cable is plugged into the other end to aquire the internet. So the answer to your question is NO.

BEST ANSWER: This adapter doesn't provide power over Ethernet, just ethernet connectivity. If you have a separate POE injector to power the camerar, there's no reason this adapter couldn't communicate with the camera.

Is this supported for Microsoft Windows 10?
Nicole S
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.

will this support data transfer between macbook pros? i didn't even know this was potentially an issue but comments for a seemingly identical product on amazon (same specs) said it didn't work... i shouldn't need it often for internet but was definitely planning to use it to move 2008 mbp content to a 2016 mbp... thanks!

BEST ANSWER: Hello, thank you for your question. This is meant to be connected to a switch or a router to gain network connectivity. From there you may transfer data as necessary through network sharing. I hope this helps, thank you!

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.

Great adapter for the price
I’ve only had it two weeks but it’s been exactly what I needed. Solid adapter that connected well to my MacBook Pro. My only request for a future product would be that it doesn’t allow the cable to flash through the plastic of the adapter. It can get a little distracting.

Seems like a good quality device. Works immediately on plugging it into my Mac. It has an indicator light to show that it's doing transfers. Got it on sale for 5 bucks each when buying a pair of them.

Don’t ask me to review products that I haven’t received.
I haven’t received the item so I don’t know why Monoprice is asking me to review it. Tracking says forwarding expired. Doesn’t make sense since I used Amazon Pay with a saved address that has worked previously.

Works very well with several win10 laptops, both USB-C and USB-A via adapter. I used this directly to USB-C port on a Lenovo Yoga 370 and also used it on an older ASUS laptop with USB-A port via an external adapter (USB-C female to USB-A male).

Great design, failed to work.
It didn’t work. It lit up like it saw the signal from the router, but the computer didn’t see it. Used another device that had ethernet and USB-C, and that worked just fine with the same cable. Didn’t matter which port I used on the computer. The unit that worked is a large, multiport unit with it’s own power supply. This one would have been a lot less trouble to use.
