Power Requirements

USB devices can be either self-powered or bus-powered. A device which has no power connector is bus-powered, and derives its operating power from the USB connection directly. The Ethernet Adapter is bus-powered – all you need to do is plug it into a PC or USB hub (such as Accton’s USB204A).
