1. It can be used to connect a USB ADSL modem to routers with an RJ45 socket, but please note: you need data switching. 2. USB2.0 A Female To 8P8C Plug (RJ45) Adapter 3. This adapter has one end RJ45 male that can only be inserted into the computer's RJ45 networking port; the other end USB2.0 female connects to a USB port of the dialer or routers 4. Note: This adapter cannot be plugged into any other USB interface device; the USB2.0 female end must connect to the dialer or router, while the RJ45 end remains in the computer's RJ45 interface; it will not work if used otherwise. It does not work for USB 1.1 (Printer style USB) Key benefits and features Enables a USB ADSL modem to be used with routers that have an RJ45 socket, expanding connectivity options USB 2.0 compliant performance for compatible devices Simple oneend RJ45 to USB female design to facilitate USB modem and router connections Compatibility and usage notes One end of the adapter is RJ45 male (to be used with a computer's RJ45 networking port) The other end is USB2.0 female (to connect to the USB port of the dialer or router) This adapter is not intended for use with other USB interface devices; it must connect as described above Not compatible with USB 1.1 (printer style USB) 23 practical use scenarios Scenario 1: Small office or home network where a USB ADSL modem needs to be shared by a router that has only an RJ45 WAN/LAN port Connect the RJ45 male end to the computer's RJ45 port and the USB female end to the modem or dialer USB port to extend internet access to the network Scenario 2: Setting up a router or dialer that provides a USB WAN port Use the adapter to link the USB modem to the device's USB port, enabling WAN connectivity through the router's Ethernet interface Scenario 3: Quick compatibility testing in a lab Verify whether a USB ADSL modem can interface with an Ethernet device by bridging the USB modem to a router or computer via the RJ45 and USB ports Specifications and limitations USB 2.0 interface on the USB side RJ45 8P8C plug on the RJ45 side No information provided on dimensions or materials No support for USB 1.1 devices or printerstyle USB interfaces Usage must follow the described endtoend connection: RJ45 to computer, USB to dialer/router
