Laptops are almost always ungrounded. This is a huge problem. Cell phones need a way to connect to wired networks so you don't have to radiate yourself with WiFi. We just improved our adapter big time! Now you can charge your phone or tablet with this new adapter. You can hook it up to a regular charger and this adapter will ground your charger. You can hook it up to a battery pack (battery bank) for even cleaner charging while you are using the adapter.
Lastly, this adapter lets you connect your phone, tablet, laptop not only to wired Gigabit Ethernet, but also to a TV or computer monitor for wired video output supporting up to 4k Ultra High Definition video.
1) First and foremost - it grounds your laptop!
Based on extensive research and testing, it's our opinion that all laptops should be grounded when they are being used while plugged-in to the power (charger). The chargers generate too much high frequency electricity - and more of that will go through our bodies when the laptop isn't grounded (see
this video)!!! If they are in use on battery, then it's not necessary. But we all wind up using them plugged-in at some point - batteries wear out after lots of cycles and it's just impossible to run them off battery all the time.
2) Provides you with Ethernet (wired Internet)
Many newer laptops don't have Ethernet (LAN) ports nowadays. People have bought into WiFi so much that superior and safer wired networking has been brushed off. Plus newer laptops are getting thinner, so that's another reason they sometimes don't put an Ethernet port in them. Good news - they all have USB ports!!! So this adapter takes the USB port and turns it into a blazing-fast 1000 megabits per second (1 billion bits aka gigabit) Ethernet connection!
3) Let's you charge your device
We just improved our Ultimate adapter! Now you can charge your phone, tablet, and some laptops (PD charging) while connecting to Ethernet (wired Internet networking). Up to 100 Watt power delivery port. Connect it to a battery bank or wall charger. Connect it with a properly shielded USB-C cable and you will be grounded all around.
4) Gives you more USB 3.0 Ports (built-in hub)
Most adapters make you sacrifice an invaluable USB port in order to hook up Ethernet. Or you have to buy a clunky separate USB hub. Not anymore!!! This adapter has the hub built-in. The hub has 3 ports on it - so you actually keep your existing port and gain 2 new ones too! All while having Ethernet at the same time. Hook up a mouse or keyboard and get your computer farther away from you.
5) Gives you 4K Ultra-High-Definition video output with HDMI port
So many laptops now do not have video output connections on them. Yet you'd like to hook your laptop to a TV or a monitor and put the laptop farther away from your body. Now with our new and improved Ultimate adapter you can hook up a TV or monitor and enjoy up to 4K Ultra High Definition video. The new improved Ultimate has an HDMI port which allows you to connect to all modern monitors/TVs with a safe shielded cord. It will also ground your TV if your TV is not grounded (many TVs are not!)
Keep in mind we only recommend the shielded Ethernet cables we carry, because not all shielded cables are made the same! The category (Cat 7 for example) rating on cables has nothing to do with EMF exposure to humans - it is only about data transfer capabilities. So not all Cat 6/Cat6a/Cat7 cables are made the same. Stick with ours that you know you can rely on.
