USB-A 3.0 to 2.5G RJ45 adapter

This USB-A 3.0 to RJ45 adapter adds a 2.5Gbps wired Ethernet port to laptops, tablets or desktops that lack one. It draws power from the USB port and works without driver installation on Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, macOS, Chrome OS and Android. The aluminium shell aids heat dissipation and the nylon-braided cable resists frequent bending.

Replaces Gigabit dongles for faster LAN

The adapter delivers up to 2500Mbps, twice the throughput of standard 1000Mbps USB-Ethernet dongles, while remaining backward compatible with 10, 100 and 1000Mbps networks. The jump is worthwhile when transferring large files, streaming high-bitrate video or gaming on a congested Wi-Fi link. It will not improve speeds beyond the 2.5Gbps ceiling or the capability of the host USB port.

Limited by USB 3.0 bandwidth and cabling

Real-world throughput is capped by the USB 3.0 host controller and the quality of the Category 5e or better cable used. The adapter falls back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds on older ports, reducing the link to 100 or 10Mbps. Buyers needing 10Gbps or fibre connectivity require a different interface.
