Introduction: The Adapter That Solves Modern Laptop Limitations
As laptops become sleeker and more minimal, one thing continues to disappear—ports. Whether it’s your MacBook, Chromebook, or a modern USB-C Windows laptop, chances are it lacks enough USB ports and, more importantly, has no Ethernet port.
The UGREEN CM475 is designed to fix this problem in a smart, compact way. It combines a high-speed RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port and three USB-A 3.0 ports, all from one USB-C connection. Whether you’re working in an office, studying online, streaming media, or managing large data files, this adapter enhances your setup without requiring drivers or complicated installation.
Now offered at Phonex Technologies Kenya, it’s the perfect USB-C accessory for modern connectivity in classrooms, offices, and homes across the country.
What Is the CM475?
This adapter is essentially a 3-in-1 USB-C hub that transforms one USB-C port into:
-
A Gigabit Ethernet port (RJ45 – up to 1000Mbps)
-
Three USB-A 3.0 ports (up to 5Gbps each)
It supports high-speed data transfers, device charging (limited), and provides a stable, wired internet connection—ideal for work environments where Wi-Fi is unreliable.
Why You Need This Adapter
Most modern laptops only come with USB-C ports and no Ethernet or full-size USB-A connections. If you’ve ever tried:
-
Connecting a flash drive to a MacBook
-
Plugging in a USB printer or external mouse to a USB-C laptop
-
Streaming or gaming over a weak Wi-Fi connection
-
Needing more than one USB-A port at a time
Then the UGREEN CM475 solves all of those issues at once—plug and play.
Gigabit Ethernet Port – Speed and Stability
When it comes to serious online work—Zoom calls, file downloads, streaming, remote desktop, or gaming—Wi-Fi isn’t always reliable.
The UGREEN CM475 includes an RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port that provides:
-
Speeds up to 1000Mbps (also supports 100Mbps and 10Mbps)
-
A more secure and stable connection than wireless
-
No lag or buffering during important online activities
-
Compatibility with routers, modems, and switches
Ideal for users who demand wired internet performance on laptops without Ethernet ports.
Three USB 3.0 Ports – Expand What You Can Do
The adapter gives you three high-speed USB-A 3.0 ports, offering:
-
5Gbps data transfer speeds
-
Full backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices
-
Ability to connect keyboards, mice, printers, game controllers, USB drives, card readers, and more
-
Support for external hard drives and SSDs (with adequate power supply)
Now you can use your USB-C laptop like a desktop, without compromising convenience.
Plug-and-Play Simplicity
No driver installation needed for:
-
Windows 11 / 10 / 8.1 / 8
-
macOS
-
ChromeOS
-
Linux
-
Android (with OTG support)
Just plug it in, and you’re ready to work, stream, or transfer data instantly.
Compact and Travel-Friendly Design
Despite packing multiple ports, the CM475 is extremely portable:
-
Lightweight ABS construction
-
Short, flexible cable (~15cm)
-
Compact body fits easily in pockets, laptop bags, or briefcases
Perfect for remote workers, students, and travelers who need extra ports without the bulk of a docking station.
