Cadyce Ethernet Adapter Price

A search for a cadyce ethernet adapter price is a buying question about a named USB or similar network dongle, not a warehouse listing on this desk. LinkScope Sourcing 22 records the host port, the PHY speed, and the destination, then asks factories to answer that same sheet.

USB ethernet adapter and RJ45 patch cord on a network bench
  1. Interface USB-A, USB-C, or a serial port that must become Ethernet
  2. Reach patch-cord length, not a radio link budget
  3. Power bus power or an external 5 V feed
  4. Compatibility host operating system and chipset driver
  5. Evidence datasheet tied to the exact proposed model

Quote lines that change the adapter number

Five lines belong on the sheet before any factory number is compared. Leave a cell blank when the host is still unknown, and label it open rather than copying a catalog photo.

LineWhat the factory should answerBuyer mark if unknown
Host port USB-A 2.0, USB-A 3.x, USB-C, or a captive cable length in centimetres Port family undecided
Data rate 10/100 Mb/s, 1000BASE-T, or 2.5GBASE-T, with the PHY name on the datasheet Speed still a range
Power input Bus-powered draw in milliamps at 5 V, or a separate adapter Power path not measured
Connector RJ45 8P8C, shielded or unshielded, and whether the jack is on the body or a pigtail Mechanical drawing missing
Evidence Current datasheet, driver list, and any FCC equipment authorization file that names the exact model Family brochure refused

Power over Ethernet is a separate question. A bus-powered USB dongle does not present an 802.3af or 802.3at watt budget. If the job is a PoE splitter, say so; do not fold that watt figure into a plain adapter line.

Impedance of the twisted pair is a cable-plant item, commonly discussed as 100 ohm differential. Ask the factory for the adapter PHY and the connector, then ask the cabling vendor about insertion loss on the patch cord. Those two replies should stay on different lines.

Three routes that should not share one price

Laptop dock

The buyer needs a USB-C to RJ45 path for a notebook that has no built-in jack. Quantity is often counted in pieces per seat. Driver support for the named operating system is the open item, not rack unit height.

Repair bench

Technicians unplug the jack many times a day. Ask for the connector mating cycle figure printed on the datasheet, and for whether the shell is metal. A 64 mm body that blocks the neighboring USB port is a fit problem even when the PHY speed matches.

Serial cabinet

A wholesale serial to ethernet adapter is a device server with RS-232 or RS-485, not a USB dongle. DB9 pinout, isolation, and the management method belong on that RFQ. See the inquiry catalog before mixing the two forms.

Procurement scenario: a dock order written before the image is frozen

Background: a facilities buyer holds 40 notebook seats in one US metro and a target month, but the standard image is still on Windows 10 for half the fleet and Windows 11 for the rest. Process: the note lists USB-C, 1000BASE-T, bus power, and asks each factory for the chipset string and the driver versions those two images can load. Result: quotations can be lined up on piece count and destination while the image split stays visible as a deviation. The desk does not treat the note as a completed compatibility test.

Compatibility questions on the named-model search

Does a cadyce ethernet adapter price search mean this desk sells that brand?

No. The phrase is the measured product term buyers type. LinkScope Sourcing 22 is an independent sourcing partner. A factory may propose that named model or a different model. Each reply must name the manufacturer, the model, and the chipset. A photograph with a similar shell is not a match.

What should be ready before factories are asked?

Host port, data rate, quantity, US destination, and the timing the quote should assume. Add driver operating systems, captive-cable length if the jack is not on the body, and whether an external 5 V supply must ship in the same carton. IEEE 802.3 is a question source for the PHY family. It does not certify an untested pair of host and adapter.

How does supplier matching work?

The written brief is sent as one sheet. Factories answer configuration, currency, Incoterm, freight, and exclusions. Headline unit numbers stay uncompared until those lines align. Optional budget needs a currency and a per-unit or whole-order basis. A high-end, mid-range, budget-friendly, or undecided preference is the buyer stance, not a rating already verified.

Which network terms do not belong on this brief?

Switching capacity, forwarding rate, optical budget, wavelength, dispersion, VSWR, gain, MIMO, and channel width describe switches, optics, or radios. Copying them onto a USB adapter RFQ hides the real gaps: PHY speed, driver, and connector. Ingress protection matters when the dongle leaves a dry office. Say IP54 or another rating when the drawing shows the gasket that was tested, or mark the environment open.

Send the adapter sheet for factory quotes

Use the form for specifications, quantity, destination, and requested timing. The dialog on product cards uses the same fields in a narrow window. This band keeps the review list beside the form.

  • Name the host port and the data rate, or mark both open.
  • Separate bus power from an external supply.
  • Ask for a datasheet on the exact model, not a family page.
  • Read the USB-C quote scope if the jack is USB-C.
