DeLOCK Converter M.2 Key B+M male to RJ45 2.5 Gigabit LAN port

The DeLOCK Converter M.2 Key B+M male to RJ45 2.5 Gigabit LAN port expands a compatible system by one wired RJ45 Ethernet port with a maximum data transfer rate of 2500 Mbit/s. Designed for internal installation, the compact red converter uses an M.2 Key B+M host interface and supports common Ethernet networking standards.

Advantages

This M.2 to RJ45 converter supports NBASE-T technology to provide higher-than-gigabit speeds over standard cabling, automatically selecting the optimal transmission rate up to 2.5 Gbps. The unit is intended for internal use and offers straightforward integration into systems with an M.2 Key B+M slot. Its compact form factor and red colour allow easy identification inside a chassis.

Suitable for

• Adding a wired 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port to a PC or embedded system with an M.2 Key B+M slot
• Upgrading network throughput for media streaming, file transfer, or small office networking
• Systems that require IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u or IEEE 802.3ab compatibility

How to use

Install the converter into an available M.2 Key B+M slot on the system motherboard following the motherboard manufacturer’s instructions for M.2 devices. Once seated, connect a compatible RJ45 Ethernet cable to the converter’s LAN port and to your network switch or router. The adapter negotiates the best possible link speed automatically, supporting up to 2.5 Gbps when the network and cabling allow.

Recommendations

For optimal 2.5 Gbps performance, use quality Cat5e or better cabling and ensure the network infrastructure (switches, routers) supports 2.5GBASE-T or NBASE-T. Observe anti-static precautions during internal installation and consult the system manual for M.2 slot compatibility and mounting guidance.
