- StarTech lists macOS, Windows and Linux (plus ChromeOS).
- Bus powered from the laptop; draws about 4.5 W.
- A similar part, US1GC30B2, uses a different chipset; this is US1GC30B.
What the manufacturer doesn't say
- No body size: the 23.5 cm length StarTech gives includes the attached cable.
- No face or order is set for usb-c-1 and lan-1: this is a small dongle with an attached cable, with the RJ45 socket at one end of the body and the USB-C plug on the end of the cable. StarTech's datasheet photo shows this, but the ends cannot be called front or rear, so no face is given.
