As a network engineer, I often need to collect switch packet captures. As a wireless networking expert, I also need to be able to connect to wireless controllers and other network equipment when the wireless network is down for service. While I typically use a Windows laptop for my work, the MacBook Air, at 1 kg, is easier to carry on site surveys and long trips than the 3 kg Windows laptop. This little adapter allows me to connect to the wired network from my MBA, and dual booting Windows 7 on the MBA lets me run my wireless tools. Wireshark will run natively on MacOS, or under Windows, so the small laptop is a complete tool kit. I also carry a 1 TB external disk and a DVI to VGA adapter, and can typically borrow a monitor if the 11.1" screen is too small to view a site plan as a whole.

The Apple ethernet adapter was very easy to set up. Provides fast connection to internet for Apple and non-Apple products.

It's more speed than wi-fi, when You are in a Hotel or out of the office, there is another thunderbolt cable better, if your computer has this feature.
