Club 3D CAC-2530 USB-C to RJ45 Ethernet Adapter

USB 5Gbps Type-C® to RJ45 Ethernet adapter provides a wired 5GbE network connection for laptops, tablets or iPhones using an available USB Type-C® port. The compact adapter connects to existing Cat5/Cat5e cabling and can significantly improve wired network throughput for devices that lack a native multi-gig Ethernet port.

Advantages

The adapter supports auto-installation on most operating systems including Windows 10 and later and macOS 15.0, enabling fast setup without additional drivers in many cases. With 4-speed auto-negotiation and up to 5Gbps bandwidth, it delivers higher sustained throughput for large file transfers, clearer video conferencing and more reliable cloud sync compared with wireless connections. Its slim form factor and short integrated cable make it suitable for office or hotel desks where a compact external Ethernet solution is needed.

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 5Gbps Type-C® to 1x RJ45
• Cable length: 12 cm / 4.72 in (attached)
• Supported speeds: 10/100/1000/2500/5000 Mbps (4-speed auto-negotiation)
• Multi-Gigabit: 5Gbps
• Features: WoL (Wake on LAN), VLAN, MDIX, Jumbo Frames
• Power: USB bus powered; USB pass-through supported
• Compatibility: Auto-installs on most OS (Windows 10 and up, macOS 15.0)

How to use

Connect the Type-C® plug to an available USB Type-C® port on your device and plug an Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port. The adapter will auto-install on most supported operating systems; follow on-screen prompts if additional driver installation is required. After connection, the network interface will negotiate the best available speed automatically. For Wake on LAN and VLAN functions, enable the features in your system or network settings as needed.

Recommendations

Use quality Cat5e or higher cabling and a compatible network switch or router to achieve 2.5Gbps–5Gbps performance. Ensure your device's USB Type-C® port supports data transfer (not only charging). For best results with large transfers and video conferencing, connect to a wired network rather than relying on wireless.
