USB‑C to 2.5Gb Ethernet Adapter TP‑LINK UE310C — USB Type‑C network adapter, 2.5 Gbps

TP‑LINK UE310C is a compact USB‑C to 2.5Gb Ethernet adapter that adds a high‑speed wired network port to laptops, ultrabooks and other devices with a USB‑C interface. The adapter provides a 2.5 Gbps RJ45 connection for faster, more stable networking compared with standard Gigabit Ethernet, which helps with large file transfers, high‑resolution streaming and online gaming. The plug‑and‑play design and wide OS compatibility make it easy to connect without complex setup.

Advantages

The adapter delivers 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet performance over a USB‑C connection, improving throughput for demanding network tasks while maintaining a small, travel‑friendly form factor. Its aluminum body offers a durable enclosure and helps dissipate heat. Foldable, portable construction and simple plug‑and‑play operation reduce setup time and make the adapter suitable for use across multiple devices and operating systems.

Suitable for

• Laptops and ultrabooks with USB‑C ports that need a wired Ethernet connection
• Streaming 4K/8K video or stable live streaming where higher bandwidth is required
• Large file transfers and backups over a faster wired network
• Online gaming and low‑latency network applications
• Portable use during travel or in shared workspaces where Wi‑Fi is unreliable

Key specifications

• Network interface: 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet
• Host interface: USB 3.0 Type‑C (USB‑C)
• Maximum network speed: 2.5 Gbps
• Body material: aluminum enclosure
• Dimensions: 68 x 24 x 19 mm
• Operation: plug‑and‑play with broad OS compatibility

How to use

Connect the UE310C adapter to a device's USB‑C port and plug a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable into the adapter's Ethernet port. The device should recognize the adapter automatically in plug‑and‑play mode on supported operating systems; if necessary, follow on‑screen prompts for network settings. Once connected, select the wired network interface in the device network settings to prioritize the Ethernet connection for internet access and local network resources.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the adapter with a network switch, router or modem that supports 2.5 Gbps links and use high‑quality, properly terminated Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables. Keep the adapter's aluminum body free of obstructions to allow heat dissipation during sustained high‑speed transfers.
