Plugable USB 2.0 Micro-B OTG 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter

An Ethernet Adapter for Phones, Tablets, and Tiny Computers

The Plugable USB 2.0 OTG Micro-B to 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter (USB2-OTGE100) combines the compact external design and wide compatibility of our popular USB2-E100 adapter, with an OTG Micro-B connector.

This makes it a great choice for easy connection to compatible tablets, smartphones, and small computers like the Raspberry Pi Zero that support the ASIX AX88772A chipset. Wired Ethernet via this adapter can provide fast and reliable streaming, networking, internet browsing and more.

Some common uses include:

  • Replacing or adding a wired Ethernet connection
  • Connecting a compatible tablet or smartphone directly to a network through an Ethernet cable when Wi-Fi is unavailable or a hard-wired connection is preferred
  • Improve connection speed and reliability for devices compared to most Wi-Fi networks
  • Add wired network capability to tablets, phones, and other compatible devices that have only wireless built-in

Note: Not all Android devices are compatible with this adapter. For Android devices, please confirm if your phone or tablet is compatible with the ASIX AX88772A chipset before purchase. You can find the latest compatibility details in the Product Information box below under Specification Sheet.

If your Android phone/tablet already has the driver for this Ethernet adapter built in, it should work as soon as the adapter is plugged into a Micro USB port. Some Android devices don't have the driver built in. If this is the case for your device, this adapter will not work.

Compatibility

  • Compatible with all Windows 11, 10 and 8.x tablets that have a Micro USB port. The device driver is built into Windows 11, 10 and 8.x
  • Android compatibility is on a case basis, and is determined by the device manufacturer. See our Specification Sheet in the Technical Specification section of the listing
  • A good fit for Raspberry Pi Zero, and compatible with Raspberry Pi OS. (We test the adapter on the official Raspberry Pi OS, and cannot confirm compatibility with other operating systems or physical hardware add on items like hats, and other secondary boards)
  • NOT compatible with Apple (iPhone/iPad), Amazon, HTC, or LG devices

Note: Some Android versions don't show any external indication of a successful connection through Ethernet. The only way to know for sure is to go into Airplane mode, then try to check email or view a webpage. If you are successful, the Ethernet connection is functioning properly.

Performance

  • Full 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet performance over the USB 2.0 480Mbps bus
  • Uses standard 8P8C Wired Ethernet Connection
  • Compact size and portability
  • Great for travel

Note: If your computer or tablet has a full-sized USB port but no Micro-B USB port, use Plugable's USB2-E100 Ethernet adapter instead.

Please note, this adapter is NOT a solution for connecting USB devices like printers, hard drives, etc. to a network. This adapter cannot be used to share Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or data between multiple devices.
