Buffalo has released a new series of USB Type-C to LAN adapter cables, the LUAMC-U3CG/N models. These adapters convert a USB Type-C port into a wired Ethernet connection for devices lacking a built-in network jack.
Two models feature magnetic cable management and compact design for portable setups.
The lineup includes two specific models: the LUAMC-U3CG10/NBK and the LUAMC-U3CG20/NBK. The first model features a 1-meter cable, while the second extends to 2 meters in length. Both units utilize a compact design intended for portable computing setups.

The adapters support network speeds of up to 1,000Mbps. They also handle jumbo frames with a maximum size of 9KB, which includes a 14-byte header and a 4-byte FCS field. This configuration allows the cables to function as standard Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Physical construction details highlight a focus on durability and portability. The connector housing measures 17 by 51 by 8 millimeters. The cable itself maintains a thickness of approximately 5.3mm, contributing to a manageable footprint for travel use.
The product line is scheduled for release in Japan on May 27, 2026. Buffalo has not yet disclosed specific pricing information or retail partners for the launch. Availability details remain limited to the Japanese domestic market at this time.
This release follows a broader industry trend of manufacturers providing connectivity solutions for modern devices with restricted port selections. The adapters offer a straightforward plug-and-play experience without requiring additional driver installations.
