  • TypeEthernet Adapter
  • 5 Gbps Ethernet for faster large-file transfers and gaming
  • 280 MB/s peak throughput over Cat5e or Cat6a cabling
  • 16 cooling vents per side keep speeds stable under load
  • Aluminium shell, gold-plated plug and braided cable for long-term durability
  • Works with Thunderbolt 3 and 4, USB 3.1 and 3.2, USB 4 ports

USB-C 2.5G Ethernet Adapter for Laptops

The TAURKENAM adapter adds a 2500Mbps wired network port to any computer with a USB-C connector. It targets users who need faster file transfers or lower latency than standard gigabit Ethernet can provide. The device works with MacBook, iPad Pro, Windows laptops and other USB-C hosts. Buyers whose hardware lacks a USB-C port cannot use this adapter.

Aluminium Housing with 16 Cooling Vents

The aluminium shell and gold-plated connector resist wear, while the braided cable reduces strain at the plug. Sixteen vents on both sides move heat away from the controller during sustained 2.5Gbps traffic. These physical features keep throughput stable without adding external power requirements. No software utilities or management tools are bundled with the hardware.

Driver-Dependent Setup on Realtek Hardware

Installation requires a USB 3.1 or newer port and a switch or router that supports 2.5Gbps. A Cat5e or Cat6a cable is also necessary to reach the rated speed. If the link negotiates at 1000Mbps, the host port, cable or upstream switch is the limiting factor. Updating the Realtek driver from the chip vendor’s site resolves most detection or speed issues.

Questions about this item

Will the Realtek driver need periodic updates to keep the 2.5Gbps link stable?

The manufacturer recommends upgrading the latest Realtek driver if the adapter does not work properly, so keeping the driver current helps maintain the 2500Mbps connection

What throughput ceiling appears first when the adapter runs at full 2.5Gbps all day?

The USB 3.1 Gen 1 port limits bandwidth to 5Gbps, so sustained 2500Mbps traffic will hit that bus ceiling before the Ethernet link saturates

How hot does the aluminium case get with the 16 cooling vents under continuous load?

The 16 vents on both sides are designed to improve heat dissipation and keep transfer speeds stable during extended use
