Review on πŸ’» High-Speed USB 3.2 Gen1 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Converter: Driver-Free, Plug and Play, Compatible with Multiple Systems by Tutcht Cobb

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Provides 4 USB 3 ports, uses one. Use an external power source when connecting a hard drive or solid state drive.

Spacers and bolts are not normal 2.5mm so I used my own spacers, nuts (actually used as washers) and bolts for assembly. Once installed, it worked well with low-power devices (keyboard, mouse), but didn't provide enough power to the SSD in the USB enclosure. Connecting an external power supply to the USB-C port solved this problem, so the PI4 now has 2 power supplies. A power adapter with two USB-C ports reduces the number of connected devices

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
