InformationWeek, a CMP weekly magazine for IT buyers and sellers, features TRENDnet's TU-ET10 and TU-ET100, USB to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Adapters, in its May 8, 2000 issue.

  Under its What's Hot section of the magazine, InformationWeek's editor Logan Harbaugh selects new hot products to showcase, based on innovation and the use of emerging technologies.

"Using USB, the Trendnet TU-ET10 connects to 10-Mbps Ethernet networks and the Trendnet TU-ET100 connects to 10/100 Mbps Ethernet networks" explains Harbaugh.

With easy Plug and Play (PnP) features, these USB network adapters are instantly recognized, hot swappable, and fully "comply with USB 1.0 specifications to ensure that installation is quick and easy. There's no need to take up an ISA, PCI, or PC Card slot to add LAN connectivity to a desktop or notebook computer, and no need to open the case or to set IRQs. Power is provided by the USB bus, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. Both devices can be plugged into any USB host or hub port that provides 500 milliamps current."

By simply hooking up the USB cable on one end and plugging in a standard twisted pair (RJ-45) network cable on the opposite end, Harbaugh was networked in seconds! Full-duplex mode, available with the TU-ET100 USB to Fast Ethernet Adapter, doubled his network connection.
