Portable USB-C network adapter

This USB-C to RJ45 adapter adds a 2.5 Gbps wired Ethernet connection to laptops, tablets and MacBooks that lack a built-in port. It draws power from the host USB 3.2 Gen 1 port so no external supply is needed. A quick driver install may be required before first use. The single RJ45 jack accepts twisted-pair cabling for immediate network access.

Sustained 2.5 Gbps throughput

The adapter delivers up to 2.5 Gbps when linked to Cat8 cabling, maintaining that rate for large file downloads, video conferences and high-definition streams without buffering. It falls back to 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps on older infrastructure so performance scales with the available switch. Bus power ensures consistent operation during extended sessions.

Check host port and cabling

Verify the computer provides a USB-C or Thunderbolt port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 data rates. Ensure a Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a or Cat8 patch cable is on hand because none is included. The adapter is not suited for builds needing internal PCIe cards or multiple simultaneous network ports.

Questions about this item

Does the U436-06N-2P5 get hot or draw much power when running all day?

The bus-powered adapter draws its modest power directly from the USB-C port and has no fan, so it stays cool during continuous use.

What cable or port must I already have on my computer for this adapter to work?

You need a USB-C or Thunderbolt port on the host and a Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a or Cat8 patch cable to reach the network.

Will the 2.5 Gbps link negotiate down to my existing 1000 Mbps switch without extra setup?

Yes, the RJ45 port supports 10/100/1000Base-T and will automatically fall back to the highest speed the switch advertises.
