USB-C 2.5GbE wired network adapter

The Dell 201485 adapter adds a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port to any USB-C device. It supports 2500 megabits per second for streaming, gaming and large file transfers. The aluminium housing and braided cable weigh 0.03 kilograms.

Who this suits and who it does not

Ideal for laptops and desktops that lack a built-in 2.5GbE port or need a more reliable link than Wi-Fi. Not for users whose hardware only provides USB 2.0 data rates or who require fibre connectivity.

Deciding specification: 2.5Gbps Ethernet throughput

The single figure that decides fit is the 2.5Gbps wired throughput. Your router, switch and cabling must all support 2.5GbE to reach that speed; otherwise the link falls back to 1Gbps or 100Mbps.
