Aluminium alloy enclosure with four antennas, Ethernet and USB 3.1 ports

WaveShare

WaveShare RM520N-GL 5G M.2 to Gigabit Ethernet Converter 2 in 1 accessory

SKU CH-KND4-ZH5YG

Converts 5G M.2 modules to Gigabit Ethernet or USB 3.1, includes four antennas and a 12 V adapter in a wall-mountable aluminium case

  • Connect mainstream 5G modules via M.2 Key B interface supporting SIM82XX, RM5XX and FM160XX series
  • Gigabit Ethernet networking through onboard RTL8125 chip for high speed 5G connectivity
  • USB 3.1 Type-A port links to PC, Raspberry Pi or Jetson boards for networking or debugging
  • Flexible 9-12V DC jack or 5V USB 3.1 power input with onboard voltage translation
  • Aluminium alloy case with wall-mount option includes four omnidirectional antennas and 12V adapter

5G M.2 to Gigabit Ethernet Converter

The WaveShare RM520N-GL adapter accepts 5G modules using an M.2 Key B interface in 3042 or 3052 form factors. It is built for developers and integrators who need to add cellular connectivity to PCs, Raspberry Pi or Jetson boards without designing a custom carrier board. The onboard RTL8125 chip translates the module signal to a standard Gigabit Ethernet port for wired network distribution.

Aluminium enclosure with wall-mount option

A CNC-machined aluminium alloy case with oxidation dull-polish finish houses the circuitry and provides desktop or wall mounting. Four omnidirectional high-gain antennas attach directly to the unit for signal reception. Power can be supplied through a 9-12 V DC jack or the USB 3.1 port at 5 V/2 A. Status LEDs and a reset button allow quick module diagnostics.

Adds wired 5G to embedded and desktop systems

The converter replaces ad-hoc USB dongles or PCIe cards when a rugged, antenna-ready gateway is required. It is worth the jump when a project needs both Ethernet backhaul and USB host access from the same 5G module, or when SIM-card management and external antennas must be integrated into a fixed installation. Buyers who need dual-SIM failover or built-in Wi-Fi redistribution should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What Ethernet speed does the onboard RTL8125 chip actually deliver?

The RTL8125 chip provides a Gigabit Ethernet port, so the wired link is capped at 1 Gbps even though the 5G module can run faster.

What mounting holes or brackets does the aluminum case include for wall installation?

The CNC-machined aluminum alloy enclosure has integrated wall-mount support, allowing direct screw fixing without extra brackets.

Which power input should I use first, the DC jack or the USB 3.1 port, to avoid a no-boot situation?

Connect the supplied 12 V adapter to the 5.5 mm DC jack; the USB 3.1 port only supplies 5 V/2 A and may not start the module reliably.
