Product Description
SABRENT USB Type-C to 5G Ethernet LAN Adapter (NT-C5GA)
Enhanced Performance, Clear Compatibility
Upgrade your connectivity with the SABRENT USB Type-C to 5G Ethernet Adapter (NT-C5GA), now with clearer compatibility guidance and enhanced support resources. Delivering blazing-fast 5Gbps speeds, this adapter is optimized for modern USB-C devices with data-capable ports. It’s perfect for streaming, gaming, file transfers, and other high-bandwidth activities—provided your networking hardware meets 5GbE requirements.
Key Features:
• Full 5GbE speeds require: A USB 3.1 Gen 1+ port, a CAT 6a+ Ethernet cable, and 5GbE-compatible network equipment.
• Auto-negotiation ensures the adapter adjusts to 5GbE, 2.5GbE, 1GbE, 100Mbps, or 10Mbps speeds based on your setup.
• USB-C Port Requirement: Only data-capable USB-C ports are supported. Power-only ports (charging ports) will not work.
• Rugged aluminum alloy body for efficient heat dissipation and long-term durability.
• No external power required – powered via USB-C bus for simple plug-and-play operation.
• Easy driver-free installation on Windows 10/11 and macOS. Linux & other OS may require manual drivers.
Why am I not getting 5Gbps speeds?
• Ensure your USB-C port supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 or later.
• Your router/switch must support 5GbE speeds.
• Use a CAT 6a or better Ethernet cable.
• Some devices limit speeds to 2.5Gbps or lower.
Why is my connection limited to 2.5Gbps or lower?
• If your router/switch supports only 2.5GbE, 1GbE, or lower, the adapter will auto-adjust.
• Some USB-C ports provide only 5Gbps total bandwidth, limiting networking speeds.
Does this work with all USB-C devices?
• No. It requires a USB 3.1 Gen 1+ port with data transfer.
• It will not work on power-only USB-C ports (often found on some laptops and tablets).
Do I need to install drivers?
• Windows 10/11 and macOS: No drivers needed.
• Linux & Other OS: Manual installation may be required—check our SABRENT Support Page for drivers.
Why is my adapter warm?
• The aluminum body helps dissipate heat. Mild warmth is normal.
• If excessively hot, check for firmware updates and proper ventilation.
Can I use this with a USB-A adapter?
No. USB-C to USB-A adapters limit speeds to 1Gbps due to USB-A bandwidth constraints.
How do I check my connection speed?
• Windows: Go to “Network & Internet Settings” ? “Ethernet” ? “Link Speed”.
• macOS: Open “Network Preferences” ? Select Ethernet ? “Status”.
