Plugable 2.5G USB C and USB to Ethernet Adapter - 2-in-1 Adapter

SKU: USBC-E2500
The Plugable 2.5GBPS USB Ethernet Adapter (USBC-E2500) is for users looking to move beyond Gigabit Ethernet. With 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet adapters, you can leverage existing Cat 5e Ethernet cables and use less-costly switches to more than double the performance of your local network compared to traditional Gigabit Ethernet.
Whether you're running Windows, macOS, or Linux, you can easily add 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet adapters to any system with an available USB 3.0 or USB-C port, thanks to the attached USB-C to USB-A adapter.
Note: A driver download may be necessary on older operating systems or kernels. Most modern operating systems are plug-and-play.
Features

Chipset: Realtek RTL8156
Link Rates: 100mbps (100BASE-TX), 1000mbps (1000BASE-TX), and 2500mbps (2.5GBASE-T) with Auto Negotiation
Additional Features: 9k Jumbo Frame Support, Auto MDI-X (Crossover Detection and Correction), and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support (Depending on OS), and Power/Activity LEDs

More from the Manufacturer

  • Faster Than Gigabit - Double the performance of a traditional Gigabit Ethernet adapter when used with switches or routers capable of 2.5Gbps. Actual speed may be affected by internet service provider, network, Ethernet cable speed, and host system
  • Keep Usb Universal - Hybrid 2-in-1 cable converts from USB-C to USB-A so you always have the right connection (USB 3.0 required for full performance)
  • OS Compatibility - Works with Windows, macOS, and Linux Kernel 3.2 and above. Driver download required on legacy macOS 10.15 and older. Device performance may be limited by internet service provider, network and Ethernet cable speed, and host system
  • Use Existing Cabling - Upgrade your network without updating your cables. 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet signals are designed to work on Cat 5e cabling, just pair your USB Ethernet Adapter with 2.5Gbps-capable switches/routers
  • Warranty and Support - Questions only an expert can answer? When you contact our support team, you're connecting with the engineers who design our devices. Every Plugable product is backed by our Seattle-based support team-even before purchase, and a 2-year limited parts and labor warranty after purchase
