## Summary description

The Axagon ADE-25RC is a wired network card that supports Ethernet speeds of up to 2500 Mbit/s. It connects via USB Type-C and is powered through USB. The card is designed for high-speed data transfer, making it ideal for gaming, streaming, and large file transfers. Its compact grey design ensures it fits seamlessly into any setup.

## Long description

The AXAGON ADE-25RC external network adapter converts a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) port into a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port. It supports link speeds of 10/100/1000/2500 Mbit/s, uses the Realtek RTL8156B chipset and provides a compact aluminum-bodied solution for adding a fast and stable wired network connection to laptops, ultrabooks and desktops with a USB-C port. The adapter is compatible with current Windows, macOS and Linux versions and supports automatic installation on modern Windows systems without requiring an Internet connection.
Advantages
The adapter delivers 2.5 Gb/s throughput over standard Cat5e/Cat6 cables up to 100 m using the IEEE 802.3bz (NBASE-T) standard. Its metal (aluminum) housing provides mechanical protection and good heat dissipation while the permanently attached 15 cm USB-C cable keeps the design compact and lightweight. The device supports advanced network features such as IPv4/IPv6 checksum offload, TCP large send offload, VLAN tagging, jumbo frames, Auto MDI/MDIX and Wake-on-LAN modes. Bus-powered operation requires no external power and two LEDs indicate link and activity.

Physical: dimensions 64 × 24 × 14 mm, weight 26 g (including cable), USB cable length 15 cm.
Chipset: Realtek RTL8156B.
Supported OS: Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11 and later (32/64-bit), Windows Server 2008/2012/2016/2019/2022 and later, macOS X 10.6 and later, Linux kernel 2.6.14 and later.
How to use
Connect the fixed USB-C plug to a compatible USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 port on your computer. The adapter is bus-powered so no additional power supply is required. Plug an Ethernet cable (UTP/STP Cat5e or Cat6) into the RJ-45 connector. On supported modern Windows systems the adapter installs automatically; on other systems follow the printed manual to install drivers if needed. After connection, check the LEDs to confirm link and network activity and configure network settings in the operating system as required.
Recommendations
For best 2.5 Gb/s performance use Cat5e or Cat6 cables up to 100 m and ensure the host system supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 or Thunderbolt 3/4. Use the adapter for adding or replacing a faulty RJ-45 connector on laptops and for stable wired connections where Wi‑Fi is unreliable. Consult the included multilingual manual for driver installation steps on older operating systems.
