2-in-1 2.5G Ethernet Adapter

The Wavlink NWU330GCA adds a 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 port to any device with a USB-C or USB 3.0 port. It targets laptop, tablet and desktop users who need faster wired throughput than standard gigabit or wireless links provide. The hybrid cable removes the need for separate dongles when switching between port types.

Aluminum shell with ventilation

A premium anti-fingerprint aluminum case encloses the circuitry and integrated ventilation holes dissipate heat during sustained transfers. LEDs indicate power and link activity at a glance. The adapter draws 5V DC from the host port and operates reliably between 0° C and 40° C in up to 80% relative humidity.

2.5Gbps over Cat.5e cabling

The single RJ45 port negotiates 10, 100, 1000 or 2500 Mbps speeds compliant with IEEE 802.3u, 802.3ab and 802.3bz standards. Full 2.5Gbps performance requires a USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt host connection; USB 2.0 or 1.1 links will restrict throughput. Not intended for smartphone use.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port actually reach 2500 Mbps over Cat.5e?

Yes, the adapter complies with IEEE 802.3bz and delivers up to 2.5 Gbps using Cat.5e cabling, while remaining backward compatible with 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps networks.

What physical space and cable clearance does the adapter need?

The compact aluminum housing has built-in ventilation holes and a short hybrid cable ending in both USB-C and USB-A plugs, so it fits alongside other ports without blocking adjacent sockets.

Is a driver install required on Windows 10 or macOS 10.6+?

Windows 10 and up-to-date Chrome OS install the driver automatically; on macOS 10.6 and above some core features need the driver from the paper CD or the manufacturer download page.
