Compact 2-in-1 USB-C adapter

This GENERIC MGLNETHUB02 combines a 2.5G Ethernet port with 87W Power Delivery charging in a single silver-gray aluminium housing weighing 0.11 pounds. It connects through any USB-C port on laptops, tablets or handheld consoles and requires no driver installation on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPadOS or Nintendo Switch. The 2.5G RJ45 link negotiates at 2.5G, 1G or 100Mbps automatically.

Who benefits and who should skip

Mobile professionals, remote workers and gamers who need a stable wired link while keeping their device charged will appreciate the plug-and-play convenience and built-in overcurrent, overvoltage, overheating and short-circuit protection. Users whose hardware only offers USB-A ports, or who require multi-gigabit speeds beyond 2.5G, cannot use this adapter. Buyers needing multiple Ethernet ports or legacy driver support for older operating systems should look elsewhere.

Capacity, speed and practical limits

The 2500Mbps Ethernet port handles large file transfers, high-definition streaming, video conferencing and competitive online gaming without the latency or packet loss common on Wi-Fi. Simultaneous 87W PD 3.0 charging keeps power-hungry laptops such as MacBook Pro models topped up during extended sessions. The single RJ45 jack means only one wired network connection is possible, and the 2.5G ceiling caps throughput well below 10G or higher enterprise grades.

Questions about this item

My laptop has only one USB-C port — will the adapter pass 87 W PD power through to the computer while the 2.5 GbE link is active?

Yes, the adapter delivers up to 87 W of PD 3.0 charging to the host while the RJ45 port runs at 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps simultaneously.

Does the adapter work with a Cat 5e patch cable I already own, or do I need Cat 6 for the 2.5 Gbps rate?

It negotiates 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps automatically; Cat 5e supports the full 2.5 Gbps speed, so your existing cable is fine.

After plugging it in, how can I confirm the link is running at 2.5 Gbps rather than falling back to 1 Gbps?

Check the network adapter properties in Windows, macOS or Linux — the reported link speed will show 2.5 Gbps when the switch and cable support it.
