[Comp] THERMITE HOT! NCIX - Tripp Lite USB 2.0 to Ethernet ADAPTER 10/100Mbps $2.96

[nightau]

Super HOT deal --> if you need this!

USB to Ethernet adaptor - so it's only 100Mbps, but hey, still faster than what most ISPs' connection.

Mostly useful for non-Apple devices, e.g. Android tablets and phones.

A few uses that I can think of:
- hotels that offer free wired internet, but charges for wireless
- at work, where wireless devices are prohibited
- uhh... can't think of any more at this moment, haha

Free shipping if you ship to store and pick it up there. Shows stock at both Vancouver and Toronto warehouse.

[jakedilla]

how would you plug this into an android device... wouldn't you need a mini usb to female usb adapter? And somehow I doubt that would work lol

I'd use a regular micro-usb cable, together with a "FEMALE-FEMALE" USB coupler like this:

You would have to write your own program to communicate with it though.

I'm sort of wondering why everyone is clearing these out...
They could be useful for people thinking about an M$ Surface Pro..

could this for USB over ethernet? That is, if I have a computer in the basement and I want to use USB devices up stairs with the computer, could I have this carry the USB signal for me if there was an adapter on the other end?

No

[frustrated inc.]

In a network application, these are great for sharing one single database source or device over multiple LANs.

Medical offices with multiple providers wanting to share access to digital equipment can do so when one central computer with multiple NICs controls access to the device.

I'm sure other IT fields can find other uses for these.
