2-in-1 USB 3.2 Adapter for 2.5G Ethernet

This compact adapter adds a 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 port to laptops, desktops or tablets through a hybrid USB-C and USB-A plug. It targets users who need faster wired networking than standard Gigabit without installing an internal card. Compatibility spans Windows, macOS, iPadOS, Linux and ChromeOS. The 0.05 kg dongle suits mobile and fixed workstations alike.

Build Quality and Daily Connectivity

A ventilated enclosure helps dissipate heat during sustained transfers while a wear-resistant PVC cable reduces strain from frequent plugging. Link and activity LEDs give instant visual confirmation of the 2.5G, 1G, 100M or 10M link status. The RJ45 jack accepts Cat5e or higher cable up to 100 metres when paired with a 2.5GbE-capable router or switch. USB 3.0 or 3.2 ports are recommended to reach the rated throughput.

Upgrading from Slower USB Network Links

The adapter replaces 10/100/1000 Mbps USB-Ethernet dongles or built-in ports that cap at Gigabit speeds. The jump is worth it when moving large files, running low-latency video calls or streaming high-bitrate media over a 2.5GbE network backbone. USB 2.0 ports will limit performance to well below the 2500 Mbps ceiling. Driver installation may be required on older operating systems or kernels. Not intended for smartphone use.
