Plugable has launched a new USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet adapter, and it’s the kind of no-nonsense product that just makes sense. Called the USBC-E1000-2M, this adapter includes a full 2-meter (6ft) cable permanently attached. It’s not a dongle. It’s not a short pigtail. It’s a proper cable that reaches across desks and conference tables without any fuss.
This thing is built for real-world use. Whether you’re working from home, in a busy office, or setting up a server rack, it just works. No extensions. No fragile connectors. Just a stable, hardwired Ethernet connection over USB-C.

Nerds might not need antivirus. But for your family’s PC, Bitdefender is a solid choice .
It’s powered by the Realtek RTL8153E chipset, which supports full Gigabit speeds. That means 10/100/1000Mbps, and no weird driver headaches. It’s plug-and-play with Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS. USB-C, USB4, and Thunderbolt ports are all supported. It even works with iPads and iPhones with a USB-C port.
Unlike typical dongles that hang awkwardly from your laptop or get lost in your bag, this has everything built in. It’s one cable. Nothing to forget. Nothing to wiggle loose.
Honestly, I love this design. I’m surprised you don’t see it more often. Most Ethernet adapters are either too short or too clunky. This one hits the sweet spot. Under $20 is a great price too.
There’s also a 15 percent launch discount if you grab it now. That makes it even more appealing for students, IT teams, and remote workers who just want fast, reliable internet without dealing with Wi-Fi dropouts.
The Plugable USBC-E1000-2M is available now here from Amazon for $19.95.
