Description

The Portsmith / Pepperl+Fuchs (ecom) is an industrial-grade, ultra-rugged USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet adapter specifically engineered for mission-critical environments where standard consumer hardware would fail. This adapter is designed to provide high-speed wired networking and simultaneous charging for rugged tablets and handhelds.

Key Features & Construction

Extreme Durability (MIL-STD-810G): The adapter is engineered to meet 810G specifications for altitude, humidity, shock, and vibration. Its double over-molded, completely encapsulated PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) protects the internal electronics from moisture, dust, and mechanical crushing.

Data + Power Delivery (PD): Unlike standard adapters, this unit features a unique “three-legged” design. It supports USB Power Delivery (PD), allowing you to pass through up to 7.5W (5V @ 1.5A) of power to the host device while maintaining a stable 1Gbps network connection.

BOM Stability: This is an “Enterprise Grade” product with a stable Bill of Materials (BOM). This means the internal components (including the Realtek RTL8153 chipset) do not change over the product’s lifecycle, ensuring that a unit purchased years from now will perform identically to one purchased today—a critical requirement for IT certification in industrial settings.

Plug-and-Play Compatibility: The drivers are natively supported by most modern operating systems, including Windows 10/11, Android, macOS, and ChromeOS, requiring no manual software installation.
