    5Gbps USB C to Ethernet Adapter, USB Type-C to RJ45 Gigabit LAN Ethernet Network Adapter for Windows, Mac OS, iPad OS and More

    • 5G ETHERNET PERFORMANCE Add a stable wired connection up to 5Gbps (5GBASE-T) for fast downloads, low-latency video calls, and smooth streaming; backward compatible with 10/100/1000/2500Mbps networks.
    • USB-C 3.2 GEN 2 READY Designed for high-throughput links; for best results connect to a USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps) or higher USBC/Thunderbolt port to minimize bottlenecks that can occur on older ports.
    • CAT6A+ FOR FULL SPEED To reach 5GbE, use CAT6A (or higher) Ethernet cabling and a 5GbE-capable switch/router with broadband speeds that can exceed 5Gbps; otherwise it will auto-negotiate to the highest supported rate.
    • WIDE OS COMPATIBILITY Works with Windows 10/11/8.x/7/Vista/XP, macOS 10.6+, iPadOS, Linux kernel 3.2+, and up-to-date ChromeOS; older systems may require driver download/installation.
    • COMPACT & DURABLE BUILD Lightweight aluminum-alloy style housing with heat-dissipation design helps maintain stable operation in home, office, and travel setups; ideal for laptops and USBC devices lacking an RJ45 port.

    FAQ

    • Q: What do I need to actually get 5Gbps (5GbE) speed?
    • A: Use a USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps) or higher USBC/Thunderbolt port, a CAT6A+ Ethernet cable, and a 5GbE-capable router/switch; your internet/LAN must also support those speeds.
    • Q: Will it work with 1Gbps or 2.5Gbps networks?
    • A: Yes. It is backward compatible with 10/100/1000/2500Mbps and will auto-negotiate to the highest available speed.
    • Q: Does it work with iPadOS?
    • A: Yes, it supports iPadOS for adding an RJ45 wired connection via USBC.
    • Q: Do I need to install a driver?
    • A: Some older OS or Linux kernel versions may require driver download/installation; up-to-date systems are more likely to work plug-and-play.
    • Q: Is it compatible with Nintendo Switch or Android phones?
    • A: Nothis adapter is not compatible with Nintendo Switch and most Android devices.
