Ugreen UG- 50737 USB Type C to 10/100/1000M Ethernet Adapter
The Ugreen UG-50737 provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity through a USB-C interface. This adapter converts USB-C ports into RJ45 Ethernet ports with support for 10/100/1000Mbps network speeds. The UG-50737 incorporates the AX88179A chipset for stable network performance and features an aluminum case construction for thermal management.
Network Performance and Speed Capabilities
The UG-50737 delivers maximum network speeds up to 1000Mbps (1Gbps) when connected to Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure. The adapter maintains backward compatibility with 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet networks. This multi-speed support ensures connectivity across different network environments without configuration changes.
Additionally, the Ugreen UG-50737 provides wired network stability that eliminates Wi-Fi interference issues. Wired connections through this adapter offer consistent latency performance for applications requiring reliable network timing. The adapter supports full-duplex and half-duplex operation modes automatically based on network requirements.
Chipset Architecture and Technical Standards
The UG-50737 integrates the ASIX AX88179A USB 3.1 Gen1 to Gigabit Ethernet controller with embedded 10/100/1000Mbps PHY. This chipset provides IEEE 802.3/u/ab/az standard compliance for Ethernet communication. The controller supports IEEE 802.1P/Q protocols for VLAN tagging and priority management across compatible network infrastructure.
Furthermore, the adapter includes support for network remote wake function. The AX88179A chipset enables efficient power management during idle periods. The controller architecture delivers consistent performance through integrated hardware acceleration for network packet processing.
Operating System Compatibility and Driver Support
The Ugreen UG-50737 operates driver-free on Windows 11/10/8.1/8, macOS, iPadOS, Chrome OS, and Android systems through native CDC-NCM drivers. These operating systems recognize the adapter immediately upon connection without software installation. Nintendo Switch compatibility extends the UG-50737’s utility to gaming console applications.
Moreover, Windows 7/XP/Vista and Linux systems require driver installation from the included driver disc or UGREEN downloads. The adapter supports Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 protocols when connected through compatible USB-C ports. This Thunderbolt compatibility enables connection through docking stations and USB-C hubs with Thunderbolt pass-through.
