Final Thoughts
The Monoprice Consul USB-C Adaptor is a small and lightweight piece of kit that is really easy to use and is incredibly useful!
Just plug it into a USB-C port on your computer and then you have a number of additional ports available to you, including Gigabit Ethernet.
I used the adaptor on my MacBook Pro and it worked great! My particular model of MacBook Pro only has 4 USB-C ports, so if I wanted USB-A, Ethernet connectivity or SD or MicroSD connections I would need additional kit, each one normally taking up a free port. But not with this device – one port is all you need, and don’t worry if your computer only has one USB-C port, because this adaptor can also power your computer if its powered by USB-C.
If you want a good quality, good looking piece of kit that increases your available ports for your computer then look no further than this one!
The Monoprice Consul Series USB-C Adaptor is available now price around $68.99.
