Basically, this replaces the USB-charger with a combined USB Ethernet adapter and AC to DC 5V 1.5A USB-C type charger. 

They had a similar option for the older Chromecasts with Micro-USB which shipped by default with Chromecast Ultra.

IMHO, wired Ethernet this is really a must if you plan on using Google's Stadia as a cloud gaming service.

Be interesting to see if the USB Type C port is USB 2.0 or USB 3.0.  The SoC supports USB 3.0 AIUI.  If so then a power delivery pass-through hub with USB 3.0 ports and a GigE Ethernet adaptor (as sold for small USB Type C laptops and tablets) may be a very neat solution. (If it's USB 2.0 only you'll still get better results than with a 100Mbs USB 2.0 adaptor with a USB 3.0 GigE adaptor in 2.0 mode)
