Your new laptop only has USB-C ports. Your network cable still ends in RJ45. This adapter bridges the gap with a reversible USB-C connector – plug it in either way, no squinting at the port. Solid aluminium body, 1 Gigabit hard-wired speed, auto-negotiation, IPv4/IPv6, VLAN tagging. No drivers on Windows 8+ or macOS 10.9+. Powered from the port, draws 1 W, and disappears into your bag when you're done. If your Wi-Fi's dropped out for the third time this week and the client call is in ten minutes, this is the plug-in-and-forget-it fix
