SABRENT USB C to 5G Ethernet Adapter, 5GbE /2.5GbE Multi-Gig USB-C to RJ45 Network Adapter for Windows, macOS & Linux - USB 3.2 Gen 2 Port Needed for Full 5Gbps, Aluminum, Plug-and-Play (NT-C5GA)

Features

• FULL 5Gbps NEEDS A USB 3.2 GEN 2 (10Gbps) PORT: Plug into a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and connect to a 5GbE router/switch with a CAT6a (or better) cable to reach the full 5Gbps. On a USB 3.0 / 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) port, expect around 2.5Gbps still a big jump over standard Gigabit.
• TRUE MULTI-GIG, AUTO-NEGOTIATING: Automatically connects at 5GbE, 2.5GbE, 1GbE, or 100Mbps to match your network 802.3bz / 5GBASE-T compliant, backward compatible with all your existing gear. Great for faster NAS access, file transfers, streaming, and low-latency work.
• DRIVERS ONLY WHEN NEEDED EASY SETUP: Windows 10/11 and macOS are driver-free. If Windows connects slowly, run Windows Update to pull the latest Realtek driver. Linux uses a recent Realtek r8157 kernel driver. The newest drivers are always on Sabrent.com.
• USB-C ONLY CHECK YOUR PORT: This is a USB-C-to-Ethernet adapter for data-capable USB-C ports (USB 3.x / USB4 / Thunderbolt). It will not work on power-only (charge-only) USB-C ports. The USB-C cable is integrated nothing extra to buy.
• ALUMINUM BUILD, RTL8157CG CHIPSET: A rugged aluminum housing doubles as a heatsink for stable performance during long transfers. Powered by the Realtek RTL8157CG controller. Bus-powered (no external power) with LED indicators: green 5GbE, amber lower speed.
