USB-C 5 Gbps Ethernet Adapter for Laptops

This USB-C to RJ45 adapter adds a 5 Gbps wired network port to Windows 11, Windows 10, macOS 14.5 or higher, iPadOS 17.5.1 or higher, iOS 17.5.1 or higher, Linux kernel up to 6.10 and ChromeOS devices. It suits users who need stable, high-speed Ethernet on ultra-portables that lack a built-in RJ45 jack.

Upgrade from 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps USB Adapters

The adapter is backward compatible with 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps and 100 Mbps networks, so it replaces slower USB-Ethernet dongles when a 10 Gbps or faster USB-C or Thunderbolt port is available. The jump is worth it for large NAS transfers, 4K or 8K streaming and low-latency gaming where the host port and cabling can sustain the higher rate.

Practical Limits of the USB-C 3.2 Interface

Full 5 Gbps throughput requires a direct connection to a 10 Gbps or higher USB-C or Thunderbolt port; routing through an external USB hub reduces available bandwidth. A CAT6 or higher Ethernet cable and a 10 Gbps router or switch are also needed, and the internet plan itself must provide 5 Gbps or more for WAN-speed gains.

Questions about this item

What USB-C port and cable are required for the adapter to fit and reach?

It connects to any USB-C 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 or 4.0 port and Thunderbolt 3, 4 or 5 ports. The integrated cable is 20 cm long, so the host port must be within that reach.

Which driver step is needed on Windows 11, macOS 14.5, iPadOS 17.5.1 or Linux kernel 6.10?

No driver step is needed. The adapter uses a Realtek chip that is supported natively on those systems, so it works immediately after plugging it into a USB-C or Thunderbolt port.

What Ethernet cable and router ports are needed to keep 5 Gbps speeds over time?

Use a CAT6 or higher Ethernet cable and connect to a router or switch with 10 Gbps ports. The adapter auto-negotiates down to 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps if the link cannot sustain 5 Gbps.
