For all those users of the new MacBook Pro from 2016 as well as the MacBook 12 we bring an adapter that will be needed by all those users who want to have a Gigabit Ethernet network connection.
The adapter is from the Moshi brand and has a feature that makes it special and that is that unlike the one that Apple has for sale on its Belkin brand website, in this case we do not lose the USB-C port to which we connect it.
Both the 12-inch MacBook laptops and the 2016 MacBook Pro with and without Touch Bar have new USB-C connection ports. In the case of 12-inch MacBook computers we only have one USB-C port for everything, so if we connect the Belkin brand adapter we would lose the possibility of connecting, for example an external disk to the equipment. In MacBook Pro the problem is minor and is that they have more than one USB-C input port.
The Belkin adapter looks like this:
Have a single USB-C port or several, we want to inform you that if you choose to buy the Moshi brand adapter, you will see that the port where you connect it, in addition to becoming an input Gigabit Ethernet, it also becomes an extra USB 3.0 port. That's what really makes this adapter special And it is that with an adapter you do the same as with two of the Belkin brand.
The price of Moshi adapter is 40 euros and you can buy it on the following web. Without a doubt it is a very good option if you need this type of connection on your brand new MacBook.
The manufacturer of this adapter informs us of the following:
- Connect your USB-C laptop via Gigabit Ethernet for data transfer speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.
- Anodized aluminum housing that minimizes electromagnetic interference.
- It includes a traditional USB port to provide greater connectivity options (USB 3.1 Gen 1).
- 100% compatible with Plug-n-Play functions and Thunderbolt 3 laptops.
- Integrated activity / connection LEDs.
Of course, keep in mind that you must select the computer on which you are going to use it because it seems that the adapters for a 12-inch MacBook are not the same as for the 13 or 15-inch MacBook Pro with or without Touch Bar.
