Is this answer helpful?

A

The package typically includes the 3-port USB 3.0 hub with integrated Gigabit Ethernet (ST3300G3UA) and an instruction manual. No external power supply is required for normal operation.

Is this answer helpful?

Product Description

StarTech LAN adapter, RJ-45, USB-A 3.0 (plug) Manual

The StarTech LAN adapter with RJ-45 and USB-A 3.0 is a compact, portable solution that combines a three-port USB 3.0 hub with a Gigabit Ethernet adapter. Designed for users who need extra ports and reliable wired networking, this adapter supports USB 3.0 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) speeds up to 5 Gbps while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices. It offers a neat, single-cable connection to a host computer and includes status LEDs for power and network activity, helping you verify connectivity at a glance.

Engineered for compatibility, the adapter works with Windows (including Windows 7 through Windows 10 and select Server editions) and Mac OS versions tested up to 10.11. To achieve maximum performance, it’s recommended to connect the device to a USB 3.0 port on your computer. The package typically contains the 3-port hub with integrated Gigabit RJ45 port and an instruction manual. For driver downloads, technical specifications, and support, StarTech provides online resources and a lifetime technical support promise.

Setup is straightforward: plug the USB-A 3.0 connector into your computer, connect an Ethernet cable (Cat5e/6) to the RJ45 port, and attach up to three USB peripherals. Many modern OS versions will automatically install drivers; if not, drivers can be downloaded from StarTech’s product page. LED indicators show power and link/activity status—solid light indicates power or network connection, while blinking signals network activity.

The adapter also complies with regulatory standards (FCC Class B, Industry Canada) and comes with a two-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. StarTech notes that warranty does not cover damage from misuse or normal wear. As with most adapters, firmware/drivers may be updated over time, so consulting the product’s online support page is advised to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.

Notes:

  • Best performance requires a USB 3.0 host port.
  • Drivers are available from StarTech’s support/download pages if automatic installation fails.
  • LED indicators provide quick connection and activity feedback.
  • Two-year warranty; lifetime technical support available.
