USB 3.0 Type-C 2.5Gbps adapter

This compact adapter adds a 2.5Gbps RJ45 port to any device with a USB 3.0 Type-C connection. It draws power from the bus and weighs 30 g. The aluminium housing measures 70 x 30 x 16.5 mm. Plug-and-play operation works on Windows, macOS and Linux without driver installation.

Best for single-port 2.5G upgrades

Ideal for laptops, ultrabooks or mini PCs that lack a built-in 2.5Gbps Ethernet socket and have a free USB-C port. The dual-colour LED shows whether the link is running at 1G or 2.5G. Not suited for users who need multiple Ethernet ports, Wake-on-LAN support, or a USB-A host connection without a separate adapter.

2.5Gbps maximum link speed

The adapter negotiates 2.5G, 1G or 100Mbps rates with the connected switch or router. Actual throughput depends on the host USB 3.0 controller, cable quality and network load. If your infrastructure only provides 1Gbps ports, the higher ceiling will not be used.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port must my computer have to use the USB 3.0 Type-C interface on this adapter?

The adapter requires a USB 3.0 Type-C port on the host device for full 2.5Gbps operation.

Will the single RJ45 connector negotiate down to 1Gbps or 100Mbps if my existing switch only supports those speeds?

Yes, the RJ45 port is compatible with 2.5G, 1G and 100Mbps networks and will auto-negotiate to the highest common speed.

How can I confirm the adapter is running at 2.5Gbps after I plug it in?

The dual-color LED shows the active link speed — one colour for 1Gbps and another for 2.5Gbps — so you can verify the connection rate at a glance.
