Amazon is currently offering the Belkin Ethernet + Power Adapter with Lightning Connector for $70.99 shipped. Find it at Walmart as well. Typically selling for $100, today’s offer is not only the first notable price drop we’ve seen, but also a new all-time low. Belkin’s MFi adapter allows you to supply a Lightning device with Ethernet connectivity. While there’s a built-in Lightning port for powering a connected device, Power over Ethernet support offers an alternative route. Perfect for pairing with an iPad while using as a POS system, for accessing the web in areas with congested or nonexistent Wi-Fi, or repurposing an old device as an in-wall smart display. Rated 4.4/5 stars and you can learn more in our launch coverage.
Those with an iPad Pro can alternatively take advantage of something like Anker’s USB-C Hub with power passthrough at under $40. You’ll pocket an extra $28 compared to the lead deal, while getting similar functionality and even more ports. One trade-off to be aware of is the lack of PoE support. Or for an even more adorable option, Anker’s USB-C to Ethernet Adapter will only set you back $23.
Belkin Lightning Ethernet + Power Adapter features:
This Ethernet + Power Adapter with Lightning Connector is the perfect solution when Wi-Fi connectivity is inconsistent, overextended, or non-existent.

Combining Ethernet and reliable power makes this adapter perfect for businesses using cloud-based POS systems.
