Edimax USB 2.0/3.0 Fast/Gigabit Ethernet Adaptors – Edimax EU-4306, This USB 3.0 gigabit Ethernet adaptor from Edimax offers speeds up to 5 Gbits/s, making it the new standard for data transmission technology for PCs and laptops. Some computers have only 10/100 Ethernet ports, while Macbook Airs and often Ultrabooks do not have Ethernet ports. The existing USB 2.0 gigabit Ethernet adaptors are limited by the USB 2.0 to a maximum data transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s, but the EU-4306 adaptor can reach speeds of 5 Mbit/s. Improve the 10/100 Ethernet connection to super-fast gigabit speeds, or perform real USB 3.0 gigabit Ethernet connection on a Ultrabook or a Macbook Air.USB 3.0The EU-4306 supports USB 3.0, the latest specification of the USB standard with a maximum data transfer rate of 5 Gbit/s. USB 3.0 enables the full capacity of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, while gigabit Ethernet can be reached via an available USB port without a gigabit Ethernet card must be installed. Create gigabit Ethernet connectivity for desktops, laptops, game consoles or home network devices.Supports Jumbo Frame, which can provide dramatic improvements in network performance and increase the effective bandwidth. Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames (packets) with up to 4000 bytes per frame compared to the standard with much smaller 1500 bytes for Ethernet frames. The use of larger frames means that fewer frames are transmitted through the network, thereby improving the clock frequency of the central processing unit. In some applications, especially those that are typical for gigabit Ethernet transmissions with such large files, the result is a significant increase in network performance.Energy savingThe EU-4306 includes a power saving function to reduce energy consumption by up to 35% when there is no Ethernet activity, thereby reducing costs and contributing to a better environment will be provided.
