Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Product Information

At the risk of oversimplifying things, latency refers to the delay in transmission time that occurs while data remains in a device's buffered memory (e.g. bridge, router, etc) before it can be sent along its path. While it seems to only be hardware related, latency is in fact affected by both hardware and software factors. Some are listed below:

I know the cable and ethernet port at working. I don't know if the dongle or thunderbolts on the laptop are faulty. I can test the dongle with another computer later in the week. So, which type of adapter is better in terms of latency? Generally, a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter is likely to have a lower latency then a USB 3 to Ethernet adapter. But, as manufacturers focus on bandwidth or throughput when they publish specs, you're not going to find it easy to try and quantify this or compare adapters. any proposed solutions on the community forums. Apple disclaims any and all liability for the acts, Easily connect to the high-performance Gigabit Ethernet network with this Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter from Apple. If you're using a USB-C or Thunderbolt adapter to connect a display, the adapter must be compliant with DisplayPort Alt Mode, Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4.

The Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter lets you easily connect to a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet network. Small and compact, it connects to the Thunderbolt port on your Mac computer and provides an RJ-45 port that supports 10/100/1000BASE-T networks.

If you're using a USB-C or Thunderbolt adapter to connect a display, the adapter must be compliant with DisplayPort Alt Mode, Thunderbolt 3, or Thunderbolt 4. It's really amazing and works pretty good. It gets the best maximum speed your internet service providers offer. Regardless of the factor involved, the impact of latency on network bandwidth can be temporary or persistent. So, why would I prefer a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter? To be honest, in a small/home network I probably wouldn't as I think the difference would be negligible and unnoticeable to the naked eye (so to speak). For me, the choice would come down to what ports I have available (or am willing to sacrifice) and the cost. But if it was a large network my preference for Thunderbolt is based on the real world experiences of users in particular fields.Windows should automatically detect the adaptor now and install it. You may need to point the installer at the location where you unzipped the drivers. The answer to your question as asked in the title is it really depends on what ports you have available, personal preference, cost, etc.

Adapters for the Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C port

In terms of CPU utilization Thunderbolt adapter is better, but not by a lagre margin (22% CPU load vs. 30% in case of USB 3.0) You may choose the Thunderbolt adapter if you're on the move and don't have a USB3 hub with you. You'll run out of USB port way before running out of Thunderbolt port in this situation. USB is reported to disconnect under heavy loads and to have troubles with wake-up. However, it's not clear to me whether those issues are caused by the USB hub or the adapter itself. To me, it sounds like the hub may not be powered properly. However, when the computer enters sleep and then wakes up in a different network (i.e. I close the lid, disconnect the eth cable, put the Mac in my bag, move from one office to another and then open the lid and connect a new ethernet cable - it won't detect it). Thunderbolt 3 is a beast of a protocol and hardware solution capable of speeds of 20 Gbps over copper, passive cables or 40 Gbps over active (copper or optical) cables. As a matter of fact Thunderbolt also allows for networking, which should be present in all major operating systems including Linux kernel 4.15+ shortly. So you can connect two computers over Thunderbolt and implement a ~ 10 Gbps network connection with that.Creation Consumer Finance Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Register no. 311518). Any article you read about a USB ethernet adapter only being able to reach 100Mbps is likely false unless a particular adapter is a total dud. What is true is that a USB 2.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter, or a USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter connected to a USB 2.0 port can only handle around 400Mbps - the link speed of USB 2.0 caps out at 480Mbps. As an alternative, there are "host to host" USB cables in a version with USB 2.0 (not recommended) and USB 3.0 (this is in the spec, section 5.5.2 mentions other "host-to-host applications") speeds. This is also called ethernet over usb and I heard people tell it works well enough and is also supported in Linux. Prolific has some offerings, that should be solid. But in terms of typical consumers, this is not something worth considering when wanting to add an ethernet port to a computer and making a decision on the type of adapter they need. For starters, ethernet can actually support up to 10Gbps. However, in 99.9% of cases (okay, I can't cite a source for that figure - I'm just making a point) this will not be a practical consideration for users unless they intend to connect to an existing 10Gbps ethernet network. While 10Gbps ethernet is starting to gain some traction in terms of network infrastructure, this is only happening in some of the largest organisations or those that have a particular need for this type of setup (such as ISPs, Cloud providers, data centres, etc). It is also worth noting that Apple has never launched a computer (not even Mac Pros or Servers) that natively support 10Gbps ethernet.

Unzip the drivers to a temporary folder on your hard drive (preferably your Desktop so it's easy to find) This small and compact adapter connects to the Thunderbolt port of your Mac computer to provide an RJ-45 port that supports 10/100/1000BASE-T networks. You may choose the USB adapter if you're on desktop mode with a USB3 hub, that way you can keep the Thunderbolt ports for display or other purposes.One of the reasons for a slow take up rate of 10Gbps ethernet is that it requires full duplex point-to-point links (typically via network switches) and as a result half duplex operation and repeater hubs do not work in 10Gbps ethernet networks. So converting existing ethernet networks to a 10Gbps ethernet network is no trivial matter and is quite expensive. All that said, I expect the deployment of 10Gbps ethernet networks to really start taking off more broadly due to the demands of HD video editing and the requirement of more organisations to have high-performance shared storage systems.
