Asus ROG USB-C10G 10GbE Ethernet Adapter Is Now Available in the US Through Amazon
Asus’ compact ROG USB-C10G Ethernet adapter is now easier to buy in the United States, giving gamers, creators, and power users a portable way to add ultra-fast 10GbE networking to laptops, desktops, and compatible routers.
The accessory first appeared in China and select international markets, but it has now surfaced on Amazon US as a UK import. While Asus does not appear to be selling it directly in the US yet, the listing is fulfilled by Amazon, which should make ordering and delivery more convenient for American buyers.
Pricing is also surprisingly competitive. In China, the ROG USB-C10G launched at CNY 799, which is roughly $119. In the UK, it is priced at £79.99, or about $109. In the US Amazon listing, the adapter is currently priced at $98.87, making it cheaper than its pricing in those other regions.
The Asus ROG USB-C10G is designed for users who need faster wired networking without installing an internal network card. It is about the size of a USB flash drive, making it easy to carry with a laptop or add to a compact desktop setup. One side features USB-C connectivity, while the other side includes a 10G Ethernet port for high-speed wired network access.
Asus also includes a short USB Type-C cable in the box. The cable comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter, which improves compatibility with older laptops and PCs that may not have a USB-C port. That makes the device more flexible than many modern adapters that rely exclusively on USB-C.
The adapter uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 interface, which supports a theoretical bandwidth of up to 20Gbps. Since 10GbE networking requires up to 10Gbps, the interface should provide enough bandwidth for the Ethernet port to operate at its full potential, assuming the connected device also supports the required USB speed.
For users working with large files, local NAS storage, high-resolution video projects, or fast home office networks, a 10GbE USB-C Ethernet adapter can be a major upgrade over standard Gigabit Ethernet. It can also be useful for gamers who want a stable wired connection, streamers moving large recordings, or professionals who frequently transfer data across a local network.
Another interesting use case is router expansion. Asus notes that the ROG USB-C10G can function as an additional WAN port on compatible routers. This could make it useful for advanced networking setups, multi-gig internet connections, or users who want more flexibility from their router hardware.
The Asus ROG USB-C10G stands out because it combines high-speed 10GbE networking, a compact form factor, and broad USB compatibility in a simple plug-in adapter. With its US availability through Amazon and a price under $100, it may appeal to anyone looking for a portable and easy way to upgrade to multi-gig wired networking.
