I use it to plug into the ILO USB jack in the front of HP ProLiant ML350 Gen10 servers. You don't need Gigabit speed for this so 10/100 is fine.
You can connect directly to ILO5 interface without having to plug the regular ILO network port (in the back of the server) into the LAN and do any other setup on the server.
1 - Plug the USB end into the ILO USB port in the FRONT of the Server
2 - Plug a network patch cable between this adapter and your laptop's ethernet network port
3 - Set your laptop with a static IP address of 169.254.1.3 / 255.255.255.0 / 169.254.1.1
4 - Open up Chrome and go to 169.254.1.2
and you're immediately connected to the server's ILO5 web interface.
Super easy, works well, built solidly (enough for this use) and inexpensive.
Finally decided to upgrade and with the existing wiring only being cat5e in my house I tried 2.5G first. It works great as you can see from the pic, transfers at over 2.5 gig. Wish my board had 2.5g or 5g built in, should have at it's price. But this was a nice alternative.
Installation: do yourself a favor and download and install 7-zip before plugging this in if you don't already have 7-zip. Winrar wouldn't work for me. Once you plug this in it has a tiny amount of onboard storage that shows up as a flash drive, has the drivers on it. Quick install and you're done. Easy.

However the 5B version repeatedly drops connection- below was support response
Dear Customer,
Really sorry for the inconvenience, unfortunately the adapter and its drivers are compatible only for
MacOS 10.6 – 10.13.
This product turned out to be the perfect solution. Setup took less than 30 seconds, and tests from various websites verified that my connection was at least as fast as it used to be (21.5M download / 2.1M upload as of today). Since installing the product, it has performed perfectly, without fail, 100% of the time. No fuss, no configuring...it just works.
Another advantage this product has over an internal Ethernet card is that it is portable. I have not had the need to use it with another computer yet, but imagine I will appreciate it when the time comes.
This adapter arrived one day earlier than expected (already by Prime 2-day shipping). The package is quite nice and came with a driver CD. I installed the driver intended for OS X 10.4, namely AX88772.pkg, which seems to be the most appropriate for my OS X 10.8... After rebooting, the adapter got recognized but I was still not able to use DHCP, so I registered the MAC address in the university database. After a few seconds, the status showed "connected"! I unplugged and replugged it just to see if the MAC address would change as the aforementioned product did, to my delight it stayed the same and the internet was again ready to use.
I'm very happy to get it to work and as a plus, I like the blinking lights on the adapter which give me a better idea of the network status. The adapte is well made and much cheaper than the one from Apple. I'd recommend this product to anyone who's looking for an alternative to Apple's USB adapter.
