Gigabit network adapter to connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable to a computer via USB. Essential for diagnostic cables that communicate via local network, such as the ENET cable for BMW F and G series.
Most modern laptops no longer have a native Ethernet port. However, some OBD diagnostic cables communicate exclusively via RJ45. This adapter fills this gap by adding a Gigabit Ethernet port to any computer equipped with a USB Type C or USB 3.0 port.
Plug and play on most operating systems. No driver installation required for Windows 10, Windows 11, and recent macOS versions.
