Actually, IIUC the cable he got is basically two Ethernet-to-USB
adapters connected together via an ethernet cable, all neatly packaged
as a single physical object. So except for the fact that he can't use
any of the ethernet-to-USB adapters for some other purpose, he did get
what "we" recommended and is universal.
