The D-Link DUB-E100 is a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter that connects to an available USB port on a desktop or laptop running Microsoft Windows XP, Me, 2000 or 98SE. Based on USB 2.0, it provides true 10/100Mbps Ethernet connectivity without requiring internal expansion slots or an external power adapter, with a built-in USB cable and a standard RJ-45 connector for easy connection to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN.

Advantages

The adapter eliminates the need to open the computer case or use ISA, PCI or PC Card slots, simplifying installation with USB plug-and-play. It draws power directly from the USB bus, supports USB suspend and resume for reduced power consumption, and offers a quick method to add 10Mbps or 100Mbps wired network access to desktops and laptops via a hub or switch.
