I don't see why it wouldn't.. Maybe with this adapter?

Nope. My CCwGTV reported something to the effect of not enough power and would not boot when I tried my adapter. I went with a $20 USB C hub with a gigabit ethernet port using the CCwGTV supplied power brick and that worked. Google sells an upgraded ethernet adapter for the CCwGTV but it is only 100 megabit.
Are you talking about the Chromecast Ultra? The new one uses USB C and the Ultra uses micro-USB, so it won't work
Not sure if this matters to you but the Google one is 10/100Mb only (not gigabit).
Stupid to buy theirs.
This works 100% I got 3 of those to my google tv's
If you already have the adaptor, sure, give it a try, should work.
If you don't, one of these will give you Ethernet and several USB3 ports you can use for extra storage. (Format as FAT32, plug in, in Android settings tell it to use the drive for internal storage, whereupon it will automatically reformat for that purpose.)
Reportedly, the chipset used in this adaptor is efficient enough that it will do fine using the stock CCwGTV power adapter.
Depending on which adapter you chose, you may need a higher power wall-wart. The included wall-wart doesn't have much power reserve.
But Google does sell a CCwGTV specific power adapter with Ethernet for $20.
