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

Description: Faster Than Gigabit - Double the performance of a traditional Gigabit Ethernet adapter when used with switches or routers capable of 2.5Gbps for faster file transfers, smoother video conferencing, and seamless streamingKeep 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)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/routersOS Compatibility - Works with Windows 11, 10, 8.x, and 7, macOS 10.7 and newer, iPhone 15 / Pro / Pro Max, and Linux Kernel 3.2 and newer. Driver download and install may be required on older OS and Kernel versions. Some core features require driver install on macOS2 Year Warranty - We love our Plugable products, and hope you will too. All of our products are backed with a 2-year limited parts and labor warranty as well as Seattle-based email supportGet the Most out of Wired Connection SpeedsThe Plugable 2.5Gbps USB to Ethernet Adapter (USBC-E2500) is for users looking to move beyond Gigabit Ethernet speeds. With USBC-E2500, 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. The adapter comes with a Hybrid 2-in1 connection that converts from USB-C to USB-A, so you always have the right connection.Some common uses include:Adding wired 2.5 Gigabit network support to Windows desktops, iPhone 15 / Pro / Pro Max, Ultrabooks, 2-in-1s, tablets, or notebooks—as well as Mac and Linux systemsReplacing or upgrading network adapters for your computerUSB network adapters can improve transfer speeds compared to 10/100/1000 adapters, and most wireless networksAdding additional network interfaces, and transferring files peer-to-peer over EthernetPlease note, this adapter is not a solution for connecting USB devices like printers, hard drives, etc to a network. This adapter cannot be used to share Ethernet, WiFi, or mobile data between multiple devices.More Than Double PerformancePlug into any laptop or desktop currently limited to 10/100/1000 Ethernet–or no Ethernet at all–and benefit from faster transfers on your 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet network. (Also works on 10/100/1000 Ethernet networks at their native speeds.) USB 3.0 systems support theoretical maximum transfer speeds up to 5Gbps and USB 2.0 supports up to 480Mbps.Note: When accessing sites on the internet, the bandwidth provided by your internet service provider will likely determine your ultimate speeds. Testing in the Plugable lab using the iPerf application on a local server has yielded speeds up to 2.37Gbps. However, speeds will depend on the capabilities of your host system and other network devices.Multi-Platform ConvenienceQuickly and easily add Ethernet connectivity, with performance up to 2.5Gbps to virtually any Mac, Windows, or Linux PC. Use either USB-C or USB 3.0 to connect, and connect instantly with built-in drivers on current versions of major operating systems.Compatible with:USB-CUSB 3.0Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4Note: Older versions of Windows, Linux, and macOS may require a driver download for the adapter to function. Older macOS versions will have limited functionality (1Gbps link rate, no jumbo frame support) until the driver is updated through separate install.Universal CompatibilityCompatible with Windows, macOS, iPhone 15 / Pro / Pro Max, Linux, and Chrome OS, USB-C (5Gbps), USB 3.0, and Thunderbolt 3 SystemsMicrosoft Windows 11, 10, 8.x, and 7macOS 10.7 and aboveLinux kernel 3.2 and above (basic support, install driver or update to 5.x kernel for full support)Supported on up-to-date Chrome OS systemsNot compatible with:ARM-based Windows RT and Windows MobileMost Android devices, TiVo Series 2, Wii, or other non-PC/Mac platformsNintendo SwitchNot recommended for use with FreeBSD or pfSenseTechnical SpecificationsInside the adapter is a Realtek RTL8156B chipset for fast 10/100/1000/2500Mbit network speeds and with all Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and 2.0 hosts. (USB 2.0 will limit the performance of the adapter.)Drivers built into Windows 11, 10, 8.x, and 7 as well as macOS 10.7 and above (driver install required for 2.5Gbps link rate and jumbo frames), and Linux kernel 3.2 and above.In the BoxUSB 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with attached USB-C to USB-A adapterQuick Install Guide
