Product information

Description

Add a 2.5Gb Ethernet port to a MacBook, Chromebook™ or any laptop with a USB-C or Thunderbolt™ 3 port using the StarTech.com 2.5GbE USB-C to Ethernet Adapter (U2GA-USB-C-ETHERNET). This compact, bus-powered adapter features a built-in 6 in (15 cm) USB cable and supports multi-speed networking up to 2.5 Gbps over existing Cat5e cabling, delivering wired connectivity without the need to change network cabling.

Advantages

The adapter provides a 2.5 Gigabit network connection that improves file transfer speeds, video conference quality, and background sync performance while freeing wireless bandwidth for other tasks. It is bus-powered from the host USB port, reducing clutter by eliminating an external power supply. The Realtek chipset offers native driver support across Windows (including ARM), macOS, ChromeOS, Linux, and many mobile platforms, simplifying setup and broadening device compatibility.

Suitable for

Office and hot-desk environments requiring faster wired connections
Laptops, tablets and devices with USB-C or USB-A ports that need wired network access
IT professionals and administrators who require stable, secure network links
Users who want improved streaming and large-file downloads over existing Cat5e cabling

How to use

Plug the adapter's USB-C connector into an available USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on a laptop or connect via a USB-A port if required. Attach an Ethernet cable to the adapter's RJ45 port and to the network switch or wall jack. The adapter draws power from the host device and establishes a wired network link; on most supported platforms native drivers install automatically. If a Windows system requires drivers, the adapter will prompt to install its bundled software directly, allowing setup without prior Internet access.

Usage recommendations

For best performance use with Cat5e or better cabling and ensure the host device supports USB 3.0 speeds. Use this adapter for stable wired connections in workstations, shared desks, or mobile setups where upgrading existing cabling is not possible.
