Belkin USB-C Gigabit Ethernet 60W PD Adapter

I use my Quest3 VR headset in a different room from my gaming PC & read a lot of articles about people buying dedicated routers to do AirLink streaming but I thought something like this would be better & I was (mostly) right!. If you have ethernet in different rooms, this adapter makes it very easy to hook up your headset & stream in super high quality for hours. Depending on your home layout, you can even run your own ethernet cable from room to room (ethernet has a limit of approx. 300ft!). The biggest catch I found was the USBC from the adapter to the headset. Long story short, the shorter the cable the better. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong with the software or PC when it was the USBC cable the whole time. I decided to velcro this adapter to the side of my headset & run 20ft USBC power & ethernet cables right up my back to the headset. Works like a charm with the highest resolution settings! I plan to use a cable sleeve to bundle the 2 cables together. Using Virtual Desktop & my 3080TI, I am able to run 200 bitrate, godlike, & 120fps. If you are doing this, you should set up a OpenSpeedTest server on your gaming PC to ensure you're getting solid speeds. There can be a lot of unique variables in each person's environment, but if you're set up well, you should get over 900mbps speeds from the headset to your computer. IMHO, this is the best option when it comes to VR streaming. It is certainly the most bang for your buck!

So I bought this for my Galaxy Tab A tablet, the WiFi seems really slow and I wanted faster net. When I first bought this I was using the Power Adapter that my Tablet came with. But I was only getting about .13 amps which was not enough to keep my tablet charged. After a bit I thought it's the charger. I thought the charger was not putting out enough amps, so I had a 3 amp charger and replaced the 1.55 amp charger that my tablet came with. This still did not increase the amps, the so again I looked at it and it hit me like a ton of bricks I had been using QC (Quick Charge) and I need PD (Power Delivery). PD allows the adapter to pull more power then quick charge does. I needed a PD charger and a Type C to Type C cable that supports PD. Once I got this now I get .5 amps which is enough to keep the tablet charged. This is maximum amount of amperage that this device allows (60w = .5 amps or 500 mA) If you need more Cable Matters make an Ethernet + Power Adapter that give 100 watts of power. You will need a PD adapter that puts out at least 60w for the Belkin and 100 watts for the Cable Matters. You will need a cable that supports PD 100 watts or better. Hope this help anyone that has this adapter.

I got this adapter for use on a 2020 Chromecast with Google TV and it appears that it does not pass-through sufficient power for the device. Once I plugged it into the Chromecast, the device powered on but then displayed a message signaling it did not have enough power, and seemed to think the Chromecast was plugged into a TVs USB port - even though the base plug was the USB-C power adapter included with the Chromecast. Disappointed that it did not work, but am still able to use the device with my Chromebook.

**********************UPDATED REVIEW*********************** This adapter was barely OK due to some design problems--short cord pulling down hard on USB-C port, significant heat build-up threatening electronics, and the RJ45 port not grabbing/locking protected ethernet cable tips which then fall out of the port and cut devices' internet connection. For these reasons alone, we planned to return the adapter. But we wanted to check to see if, like other adapters, either basic function--internet pass-through or power pass-through--changed in the week since we bought the adapter. We're disappointed that we can no longer get online with the adapter despite using the same phone settings as before and the same RJ45 cable directly from the same modem. Who manufactures these adapters? We've bought over a dozen for our machines and to date only ONE works. Save yourself the frustration. But from our experience, we don't know what adapter/hub is reliable. **********************ORIGINAL REVIEW*********************** This allows us to hard-connect our USB-C Macbook to the internet while simultaneously charging. Most other docks we've tried ONLY do one or the other. So we're glad we can download updates or other large files without worrying we'll burn through our battery before the software transfer is complete. The big problem we've discovered with this hub is that it doesn't accommodate protected RJ45 ethernet cables. These are the ones with the little rubber hood over the tab you depress to insert/take out the cable from its port. These protective tabs are there to prevent the tabs from snagging on anything and then breaking off. That happened to us often before we invested in the protected cables. But this hub's port is designed to require a free tab to CLICK and lock securely into place. Otherwise, your internet connection is disrupted with the slightest motion as the end of the cable slips OUT of the port. We can't figure out why the design team made this port this way. Seems you have to accept the risk of ripping off the connection tab to keep it securely in place. Or use a protected tab and risk the cable easily slipping out of the port and cutting the internet connection. Why exchange reliability risks of wireless networks for unnecessary stability risks of wired networks? Another issue you should know--the short connection cable (you see this in the ad, granted) causes the bulky port to place dangerous strain on the USB-C port. Either the port or the hub's male USB-C insert over time is likely to fail. This could easily be solved by using a long cable (1m?) between the hub and the USB-C insert so the mass of the hub could rest stably on a desk. Many of us no longer leave our laptops on the table. Instead, we raise them up to eye level for more comfortable working, meaning anything attached to a port hangs down. Again, why would a design team not foresee this obvious structural flaw? A problem we guess is inevitable with a lot of these plastic hubs is that they get remarkably hot. And this small hub is no exception. It gets so hot it's uncomfortable to hold. If you were going to use this for hours on end, you might want to invest in a fan JUST for the hub. We don't know how all this extra heat affects the longevity of the hub, but when we spoke to Apple Support about the heat another hub was putting out, they told us that heat is the enemy of compact laptops (that don't have big fans and lots of space to move air around). So we don't feel comfortable using this hub for more than a few minutes... Given the three problems above, we're not sure we'll keep this hub. There are just too many major future failure points to justify investing in such a critical component (if you need a hard-connection instead of wifi to do serious work for many hours at a time). We're still on the hunt for a solid USB-C hub that allows, minimally, power and hard-internet pass-through without getting very hot. To end on a positive note about this port, though, it does allow at least 100 Mbps internet pass-through and standard 29W (Macbook) power pass-through, and it connects to the laptop without any fuss (plug-N-play). But minus 3-stars for the product's design flaws.

One of my two usb-c ports stopped working on my MacBook Air so I had to get an ethernet connector that also supports powering the computer until I can get a new usb-c port and install it. This ethernet adapter works great. I had originally hoped for a plug and play situation but I had to call for tech support to get it set up. If I had tried rebooting my router instead of just rebooting the computer, I could have avoided making the call, but the tech support person was very helpful and patient. Great product.

I originally avoided this adapter mainly based on its price, but decided to grab it since it was discounted 50%. Background... I was looking for a way to provide an ethernet connection to my new Chromecast w/ Google TV (CCWGTV) and knew that I needed a USB-C to Ethernet adapter with power pass through. My benchmark for price is the Google official ethernet/usb-c/power adapter which unfortunately is stuck in the 20th century with it's 100Mbit speed. I wanted something with a gigabit connection. Enter the Belkin adapter. Testing... The adapter arrived and I quickly tried it on my CCWGTV. I plugged it into the dongle, plugged in the cord from the dongle's power adapter, and plugged in an ethernet cable. As the dongle booted up, it stopped at a screen indicating there was not enough power. Darn. For reference, there are other adapters out there that work with the Google power supply so this is a black mark against the Belkin dongle. The Google power supply is 5V/1.5A (7.5W), and that wasn't cutting it. Not to worry. I had a fast charger on hand that was rated at a very beefy 5V/3A (15W) so I figured this should be plenty adequate at twice the power. Nope. Seriously? Now I wondered if it was the adapter not working properly. I grabbed a Chromebook and hooked everything up. Success! The Chromebook power supply is 45W (!!), for reference. So I moved on to my Note 9 with it's 5V/2A (10W) charger. It worked, but my phone was basically getting a trickle of charge (8 hours from 90% to full????) which means the Belkin adapter was probably consuming somewhere in the neighborhood of 8-9W, or at least was unable to pass through enough power (efficiency?). The bottom line for the CCWGTV is that this adapter needs >15W, which would require using a laptop/chromebook charger, or investing in a very high power charger for a small device (20W? or more). In either case, I cannot recommend this adapter for the CCWGTV, especially when other adapters out there work directly with the 7.5W power supply. It's probably fine for laptops/chromebooks but it'll really hinder your ability to charge/power things like tablets or cell phones when used with the OEM chargers. Definitely not worth the high price tag this device normally carries.

Works great I needed it to log into my modem/router and my MacBook doesn't have a port as a matter of fact it's got 4 usb type C So this is handy

Funkar perfekt till Google TV 4K

PD works but ethernet not detected on iPad Air

I tried several times to buy a google adapter with ethernet to connect my chromecast with google tv ( both 4K and HD version ) with a ethernet cable in stead of wifi, but that thing is out of stock so I tried this baby and yes, it works well !! BUT, offcourse there is a BUT, the standard power adapter on these sticks in combination with this ethernet adapter gives not enough power. You need at least a 20 watts usb-c power adapter to power this ethernet adapter but then it works like a charm, when you open the chromecast network settings you see a connected by ethernet in stead of wifi connected. When you open the package you see a small adapter with a short usb - c cable, that one goes in the chromecast, at the other end there is an ethernet female and an usb-c female input for your power. So again, this device uses some power and the output isn't enough anymore with the standard power adapter provided with your chromecast with google tv to power it up so you need a 3 amp of 20 watt power adapter, but the result is a much better reacting chromecast. The maximum power inlet is 60 watts.
