ALLO SPARKY Giga (Networking USB/Ethernet Hub)
Add 2 X Gigabit Ethernet ports to your Sparky with this Shield. Installs in a snap and increases the versatility of your Sparky.
These 2 x GB Ethernet ports connect to Sparky by USB 3.0. We have reached packet transfer speeds of 200Mbps with both ports working and up to 600Mbps on a single port (speeds are for packet transfer only without additional security/services added). These transfer rates are more than acceptable for a house/SOHO and even SMB set up.
