2.5G USB-C Ethernet Adapter

The TRENDnet TUC-ET2G adds a 2.5GBASE-T RJ-45 port to a USB-C 3.1 connection. It supports up to 2.5Gbps over existing Cat5e or better cabling and includes a USB-C to USB-A adapter for broader host compatibility.

Check Host Port And Cable

Verify the host provides a USB-C 3.1 or Thunderbolt port for full bandwidth. A USB 2.0 port will limit throughput. Ensure the Ethernet cable is Cat5e or higher to reach the rated 2.5Gbps link speed.

Sustained 2.5Gbps Throughput

IEEE 802.3bz compliance and 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet help maintain the 2.5Gbps rate during prolonged transfers. The compact aluminium housing passively dissipates heat without active cooling.

Questions about this item

What cables and adapters are included with the TUC-ET2G and what must I provide?

The box contains the adapter, a USB-C to USB-A adapter, a driver CD and a quick guide. You supply the Cat5e or better Ethernet cable.

The TUC-ET2G is a single model — how do I decide if it fits my port?

It connects through a USB-C 3.1 port and the included adapter lets it work with a USB-A port. Check that your computer has one of those.

What does the 2.5 Gbps rating mean when I plug the TUC-ET2G into my laptop?

It is the peak throughput of the 2.5GBASE-T port. Actual speed depends on your network switch, cabling and system load.
