Plugable USBC-E2500PD USB-C 2.5GbE adapter with 100W Power Delivery

Maintain wired throughput without giving up charging. Plugable’s USBC-E2500PD combines 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet with USB-C Power Delivery passthrough, so a single connection can carry network traffic and keep a compatible laptop powered. That matters when Wi-Fi is congested, latency is unacceptable, or a desk setup needs fewer adapters and fewer failure points. Built for current USB-C, Thunderbolt 4, USB4, and legacy USB-C systems, this adapter is a practical fit for mobile professionals and IT standardization alike. It gives users a faster wired path than 1 GbE while avoiding the overhead of a full dock when only network access and charging are required. The result is a cleaner workstation, more consistent file transfers, and a better experience for remote work, hot desks, and conference room deployments. For teams that care about uptime and simplicity, the value is in consolidation: one compact adapter, one network port, one charging path. It is a focused tool for users who need dependable Ethernet performance and uninterrupted power in the same device.
