  • Modern computer operating systems either include a built-in driver, or can download a driver through Windows Update, however for best performance we recommend installing the latest driver from our website.

  • Yes, the 5Gbps Ethernet standard allows for Cat 5e cables up to 100 meters, however we recommend Cat 6a or better when possible to ensure the most reliable network connection.

  • Yes, the adapter can be used with 1, 2.5, 5, or 10 gigabit Ethernet hardware, and will operate at the maximum data rate of the network device. Please note that this adapter itself is limited to 5GbE.

  • We recommend USB 10Gbps Type-C host ports, with USB 5Gbps Type-C hosts the network performance will be limited. The adapter can be connected to a USB Standard-A port with a separate USB 3 A to C adapter, this may limit network performance.

  • The solid amber LED indicates network connectivity, and flashing green LED indicates network activity.
