Edimax Eu-4306 User manual

Windows 8

Full compatibility with Windows 8 for hassle-free use with brand new Windows 8 devices and future-proof peace

of mind.

USB 3.0

The EU-4306 supports USB 3.0, the newest specification of the

USB standard which specifies a maximum data transmission speed

of 5Gbps. Up to ten times faster than the existing USB 2.0

standard which is restricted to a maximum speed of 480Mbps,

USB 3.0 enables the full capacity of 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit

Ethernet to be reached through an existing USB port with no need

to install a Gigabit Ethernet card.

Ideal for Ultrabooks

For Ultrabooks or a Macbook Air with no Ethernet port, use the

USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter for simple plug-and-play Gigabit

Ethernet network connection capability. Take the compact,

portable EU-4306 wherever you take your laptop and ensure you

stay connected to fast, reliable Gigabit Ethernet whenever you

need. Provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for desktops, laptops,

game consoles or home network appliances.

Supports Jumbo Frames

Support for jumbo frames can offer dramatic improvements in

network performance and raise effective bandwidth. Jumbo frame

are Ethernet frames (data packets) of up to 4000 bytes per frame,

in comparison with standard, significantly smaller 1500 byte

Ethernet frames. Using larger frames means that fewer frames are

sent across the network which improves CPU cycles and

bandwidth. For some applications, especially those typical of

Gigabit Ethernet use such as large file transfers, the result is

greatly increased network performance.

Power Saving

The EU-4306 incorporates a power saving feature to reduce

power consumption by up to 35% when there is no Ethernet

activity, reducing costs and contributing to a better environment.

Maximum performance, actual data rates, and coverage will vary depending on network conditions and environmental factors. Product specifications and design are subject to change without notice.

With speeds up to 5Gbps, USB 3.0 is fast becoming the new standard in data-transfer technology for PCs and

laptops. However, some computers only feature 10/100 Ethernet ports while Macbook Airs and often Ultrabooks

don’t feature Ethernet ports at all. Existing USB 2.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapters are limited by the USB 2.0

maximum data rate of 480Mbps while our USB 3.0 adapter can reach speeds of 5Mbps. Upgrade existing 10/100

Ethernet connectivity to super-fast Gigabit speeds or introduce USB 3.0 true Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to an

Ultrabook or Macbook Air.
