Product Description

Laptop setup using usb c ethernet adapter 2.5 gigabit for fast wired connectivity

Get the Most out of Wired Connection Speeds

The Plugable 2.5Gbps USB to Ethernet Adapter (USBC-E2500) is for users looking to move beyond Gigabit Ethernet speeds. With USBC-E2500, you can leverage existing Cat 5e Ethernet cables and use less-costly switches to more than double the performance of your local network, compared to traditional Gigabit Ethernet. The adapter comes with a Hybrid 2-in1 connection that converts from USB-C to USB-A, so you always have the right connection.

Some common uses include:

  • Adding wired 2.5 Gigabit network support to Windows desktops, iPhone 15 / Pro / Pro Max, Ultrabooks, 2-in-1s, tablets, or notebooks—as well as Mac and Linux systems
  • Replacing or upgrading network adapters for your computer
  • USB network adapters can improve transfer speeds compared to 10/100/1000 adapters, and most wireless networks
  • Adding additional network interfaces, and transferring files peer-to-peer over Ethernet

Please note, this adapter is not a solution for connecting USB devices like printers, hard drives, etc to a network. This adapter cannot be used to share Ethernet, WiFi, or mobile data between multiple devices.
