USB-C 10GbE Adapter for Fast Wired Networks

The Zebra 201496 adds a 10GbE RJ45 port to any USB-C device that supports 20Gbps data transfer. It auto-negotiates 10G, 2.5G, 1G and 100M links for NAS access, large backups and low-latency gaming. Real-world throughput reaches roughly 7Gbps on Windows and 5Gbps on macOS depending on the host port and cabling.

Upgrade from 1G or 2.5G Dongles When Throughput

This adapter replaces slower USB-Ethernet dongles that cap at 1Gbps or 2.5Gbps. The jump is worth it when moving multi-gigabyte files across a 10G-capable switch or NAS, or when a workstation lacks an onboard 10GbE port. It will not help if your network infrastructure stays at 1Gbps.

Driver Install on Windows, Plug-and-Play on Mac

Windows may need the Realtek 8159 driver package to unlock full speed; the adapter works immediately on Thunderbolt 3, 4, 5 and USB4 Macs. Common issues are missing driver updates and switch flow-control settings that throttle 10G traffic. The braided pigtail reduces port strain in tight docks.
