Move critical traffic off congested wireless links and onto a wired 2.5GbE connection. StarTech’s USB-C Ethernet adapter is built for users who need more than basic Gigabit throughput, whether they are transferring large files, joining a high-speed LAN, or maintaining stable access to shared resources in a busy office or lab. With USB 3.0/3.1 Type-C and Thunderbolt compatibility, this adapter connects to modern notebooks and desktops through a single USB-C port while providing an RJ45 Ethernet interface for 10/100/1G/2.5G networks. It supports 2.5GBASE-T and is designed around a Realtek chipset with features such as 16K jumbo frames, Wake-on-LAN, and VLAN support. That makes it a practical fit for IT teams standardizing on wired access for performance, manageability, and reliability. 100W power delivery pass-through helps keep the host device charged while the adapter is in use, reducing cable clutter at the desk. USB bus power keeps deployment simple, and broad OS support makes it easier to roll out across mixed environments. For professionals who need a compact adapter that delivers measurable network gains, this model earns its place.
