Description

Upgrade to high-speed 10GbE network connectivity through your computer's USB-C port

This USB-C to 10GbE network adapter adds multi-gigabit RJ45 connectivity to laptops, desktops, mini PCs, and workstations, with 10G/5G/2.5G/1G auto-negotiation for existing network infrastructure. Handle large file transfers, backups, server maintenance, and network troubleshooting at up to 10Gbps. Standard RJ45 connectivity, VLAN tagging, and QoS support help integrate the adapter into segmented enterprise networks. Achieve up to 10Gbps throughput on Windows 11 and macOS 27 systems. The Realtek RTL8159 controller and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface support high-bandwidth network tasks. For optimal performance, connect to a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host using Cat6a cabling. Standardize one adapter across compatible Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, including USB4 and Thunderbolt 5/4/3 hosts. Bus-powered operation simplifies deployment, while a visible MAC address supports pre-deployment provisioning. Support extended use with a fanless aluminum housing, heat sink, and thermal silicone for passive heat management. Reinforced RJ45 construction withstands repeated connections during deployments and IT support, while Wake-on-LAN enables remote maintenance.
