Plugable USBC-E2500 USB-C and USB to Ethernet Adapter 2.5G 2-in-1 Adapter 5000Mbit/s Wired

The Plugable USBC-E2500 brings higher-speed wired connectivity to devices that rely on USB ports for network access. Designed for both USB-C and USB-A connections, it bridges modern and legacy ports through a single compact adapter. With support for 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, it works with existing Cat 5e cabling while delivering noticeably faster data flow compared to standard Gigabit connections, making it suitable for workstations, laptops, and travel setups that need consistent wired access.

Key Features of Plugable USBC-E2500

• Faster Than Gigabit: Double the performance of a traditional Gigabit Ethernet adapter when used with switches or routers capable of 2.5Gbps. Actual speed may be affected by internet service provider, network, Ethernet cable speed, and host system
• Keep USB Universal: Hybrid 2-in-1 USB Ethernet Adapter that converts seamlessly between USB-C and USB-A, so you always have the right connection (USB 3.0 required for full performance)
• No New Cables Required: Upgrade your network without updating your cables. 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet signals are designed to work on Cat 5e cabling or better, just pair your USB C Ethernet Adapter with 2.5Gbps-capable switches/routers
• No New Cables Required: OS Compatibility -A true plug-and-play USB Ethernet adapter, it supports Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and iOS (iPhone 15 and 16 /Pro/Pro Max on iOS 17+). Device performance may be limited by internet service provider, network and Ethernet cable speed, and host system

Get the Most out of Wired Connection Speeds

The Plugable 2.5Gbps USB to Ethernet Adapter (USBC-E2500) is for users looking to move beyond Gigabit Ethernet speeds. With USBC-E2500, you can leverage existing Cat 5e Ethernet cables and use less-costly switches to more than double the performance of your local network, compared to traditional Gigabit Ethernet. The adapter comes with a Hybrid 2-in1 connection that converts from USB-C to USB-A, so you always have the right connection.

Some common uses include:

- Adding wired 2.5 Gigabit network support to Windows desktops, Ultrabooks, 2-in-1s, tablets, or notebooks—as well as Mac and Linux systems
- Replacing or upgrading network adapters for your computer
- USB network adapters can improve transfer speeds compared to 10/100/1000 adapters, and most wireless networks
- Adding additional network interfaces, and transferring files peer-to-peer over Ethernet

More Than Double Performance

Plug into any laptop or desktop currently limited to 10/100/1000 Ethernet or no Ethernet at all and benefit from faster transfers on your 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet network. (Also works on 10/100/1000 Ethernet networks at their native speeds.) USB 3.0 systems support theoretical maximum transfer speeds up to 5Gbps and USB 2.0 supports up to 480Mbps.

Multi-Platform Convenience

Quickly and easily add Ethernet connectivity, with performance up to 2.5Gbps to virtually any Mac, Windows, or Linux PC. Use either USB-C or USB 3.0 to connect, and connect instantly with built-in drivers on current versions of major operating systems.
