From my reading of the very sketchy description, this
device is designed for locations where a WiFi <br>
signal is poor or non-existent. Therefore, I would think
that all it has is a mini-WiFi access point <br>
from which the Chromecast can get a local signal.<br>
<br>
It won't be sending Ethernet up the power cable, if that's
what you assumed.<br>

<p>The way the fire TV ethernet adapters work is they connect into
the fire TV power socket, which is actually a "USB On-The-Go" port
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go</a>). I have two of these
from the URL below. There are many varieties available. It
connects between the power adapter and the fire stick, and has an
ethernet port that you plug into your router or switch. This could
only work if your device has a USB type power supply and a micro
usb socket on the device for the power input.<br>

<p>This particular item is actually two things bundled together: a
"USB On-The-Go" adapter and a USB hub with some USB ports and an
ethernet port. You can plug the USB hub part into any computer USB
port and get an extra ethernet connection plus some extra USB
ports.</p>
