Plug and Play Ethernet Adapter
If you don't have an ethernet connector this adapter works great - plug into USB-C port and off you go - true plug and play, not setup.

Slow speed
I bought this after being told it was suitable for USB3. I found it was delivering very slow speed when I required 5Gbps

At a glance
The Bonelk USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is a simple wired networking accessory for USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 devices that need a more stable internet connection. It suits office workers, students and travellers who want plug-and-play reliability, compact size and a durable braided cable. Its main limitation is that it only adds Ethernet, so it is less versatile than larger multi-port hubs.

Things to consider
This adapter is focused on wired networking only, so it is a better fit for users who need Ethernet rather than those wanting extra USB ports, card readers or HDMI from a larger dock.
Multi-device compatibility
Compatible with supported USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 laptops, tablets and smartphones that support wired networking.
Desk clutter reduction score
8/10 - short 15 cm cable and single-purpose design help keep setups neat.
Work-from-home suitability
9/10 - ideal for more reliable video calls, downloads and office network access over wired Ethernet.
Port expansion rating
3/10 - adds only one RJ45 Ethernet connection rather than multiple ports.
Travel friendliness
9/10 - compact build, durable braided cable and lightweight design make it easy to pack for work or study on the go.
Key benefits
- Gigabit Ethernet Support: Delivers wired network speeds up to 1000 Mbps for faster and more stable connections than typical wireless links.
- Backward Compatibility: Works with 10/100 Mbps networks, making it useful with older routers, switches and workplace infrastructure.
- Plug And Play Setup: Connects without software installation on supported devices and operating systems, making setup quick and simple.
- 15 cm Cable Length: Keeps the adapter close to your device to reduce cable sprawl on desks and in travel bags.
- Braided Nylon Cable: Adds durability for everyday use and helps the cable handle regular packing, unpacking and movement.
- Flex-SR Strain Relief: Uses a multi-rib flexible design to better withstand repeated bends near the cable ends.
- Aluminium Housing: Provides a more premium feel and added durability compared with basic plastic adapters.
- USB-C And Thunderbolt 3 Compatibility: Suits a wide range of modern laptops, tablets and smartphones with compatible USB-C ports.
Q: Will this adapter work with any USB-C laptop or tablet?
A: No. It suits USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 devices that support wired networking over the port. A USB-C shape alone is not enough, so some phones, tablets or laptops may not recognise Ethernet through this adapter.
Q: Does the Bonelk Ethernet adapter need drivers or software installed?
A: No, not in normal plug and play use. The Bonelk ELK-80027-R is designed to work without software installation when the device and operating system already support wired networking, so compatibility still depends on the host device.
Q: Can I still charge my device while using this adapter?
A: No. This adapter has 1 x USB-C male connection for your device and 1 x RJ45 female port for network cable only. It does not include a second USB-C port for charging pass-through, USB accessories or video output.
Q: What network speeds can this USB-C to Ethernet adapter support?
A: The Bonelk ELK-80027-R supports Gigabit Ethernet at 1000Mbps when used with a compatible router, device and cable. It is also backwards compatible with 10/100 Mbps networks, so it can still connect on older wired setups.
Q: Is the 15cm cable long enough for desk use?
A: Yes, for close-range use beside a laptop or tablet. The 15cm cable keeps the adapter tucked near the device to reduce bag and desk clutter, but it is not meant to reach far across a desk without the Ethernet cable doing that job.
