Well, the more widely used phrase might be USB-C to Ethernet adapter. I’m not entirely confident, but based on what I understand, Thunderbolt 4 works backward with USB4, USB-C 3.2, and Thunderbolt 3. You should verify your device’s user manual to confirm compatibility. You might also need to tweak the BIOS settings. This is because Thunderbolt and USB follow different protocols despite similar physical connections. According to the manual (https://dl.dell.com/content/manual400600...us&ps=true), it appears your system supports it. I’m unsure if this process is automatic or if you must enable BIOS first.
