Manhattan 506847 USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter RJ45 1000 Mbps

The Manhattan 506847 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Network Adapter delivers a straightforward path to wired Gigabit Ethernet on any machine that lacks a built-in LAN port or needs a second network interface. Connecting via a standard USB Type-A port, it requires no internal installation and draws all operating power directly from the USB bus. The single RJ45 port supports Auto MDI-X for plug-and-play cable connections, while Wake-On-LAN and PXE boot capabilities make it equally suitable for managed enterprise desktop environments and lightweight mobile workstations. Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power draw during low-activity periods, and broad OS coverage spanning Windows, macOS, and Chrome OS ensures deployment flexibility across mixed-platform organizations.

Key features & benefits

• USB 3.0 Host Interface — Compliant with USB Specification 3.0 and fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 hosts, allowing deployment on virtually any modern or legacy machine without hardware modification.
• Gigabit Ethernet with Full-Duplex Support — The single 1000Base-T RJ45 port operates at 10/100/1000 Mbps and supports up to 2 Gbps full-duplex transfer speed, maximizing throughput on switched Gigabit networks.
• Auto MDI-X — Automatic uplink detection eliminates the need for crossover cables, simplifying direct device-to-device and switch connections in any cabling environment.
• Wake-On-LAN (WOL) — Enables remote power-on of host systems over the network, supporting centralized IT management workflows and after-hours maintenance tasks.
• PXE Boot Support — Preboot Execution Environment capability allows network-based OS deployment and imaging, a critical feature for enterprise provisioning and thin-client infrastructures.
• Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) — Dynamically reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity, contributing to lower operational energy costs across large adapter deployments.
• VLAN and Traffic Prioritization — IEEE 802.1q VLAN tagging and IEEE 802.1p traffic prioritization compliance allow the adapter to participate in segmented, QoS-managed enterprise network environments.
• Jumbo Frame Support — Supports jumbo frames up to 4 kBytes, reducing CPU overhead and improving efficiency for bulk data transfers on compatible network infrastructure.
• Bus-Powered Operation — Draws power entirely from the USB port at 420 mA during operation and 38 mA in suspend mode, eliminating the need for an external power supply.
• Broad OS Compatibility — Supports Windows XP through Windows 10, Apple macOS 10 and 11 Big Sur, and Google Chrome OS, covering the majority of enterprise and education endpoints.
• Certifications — Carries FCC Class B, CE, and RoHS certifications, meeting North American and European regulatory requirements for commercial and enterprise deployments.
