Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Much better than the belkin adapter for less money. Good to keep one in your gadget bag for when you need to get wired. Built well, relatively sturdy, and a pretty good value for the money.

This is everything i did, and i am having fine luck with this adapter so far. Very pleased. Serves my needs well.

Ookla's internet speedtest says i'm downloading between 206 and 207mbps. Network benchmarks show full gigabit. Throughput is good especially for backups to a san or time capsule where you need to schlep a ton of data.

Cons

Adapter is too small to work on macos. Requires constant jiggling to get an internet connection. When using wifi the speed drops to 150-200mb.

Highlights

Quality

Works as expected and much more affordable than the official options with the little apple logo on them.

Works great, i had no problems with it.

I have a macbook pro so don't have a traditional ethernet port - this usb to ethernet adapter works great!

Competitiveness

Like every amazonbasics product i have purchase, this usb-c to cat5 cable works perfectly and is reasonably priced.

I don't have a gige network in my home (old cat-5 wiring), so i can't tell you if this can handle that, but i am happy.

I purchased this to replace a failing competing brand.

It was plug-and-play ready to go without drivers on my hp elitebook running ubuntu linux.
