Add 2.5Gbps Ethernet via USB 3.0 or Type-C

This adapter gives laptops, desktops and tablets a wired 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 port through a USB 3.0 or USB-C connection. It is aimed at users whose devices lack a built-in Ethernet socket or need faster-than-Gigabit wired speeds for large file transfers and low-latency gaming. No driver installation is required on Windows 10 or 11, macOS 10.6 or later, and Linux.

2.5Gbps speed needs USB 3.0 and a 2.5G switch

The 2.5Gbps rate is only available when the host port is USB 3.0 or newer and the network equipment supports 2.5GBase-T. On USB 2.0 or 1.1 ports the adapter falls back to 1Gbps or lower. Auto-negotiation handles 10, 100, 1000 and 2500 Mbps links and Auto-MDI/MDIX removes the need for crossover cables.

Bus-powered design with Wake-on-LAN

The unit draws all power from the host USB port, so no external supply is needed. Wake-on-LAN lets you wake a sleeping computer remotely, and full-duplex flow control keeps data stable at every supported speed.
