DeLOCK USB Type-C Adapter 2.5 Gigabit LAN Power Delivery 100W

The DeLOCK USB Type-C Adapter 2.5 Gigabit LAN Power Delivery 100W expands a PC or laptop with one wired network interface via a USB Type-C™ port. It supports NBASE-T for higher-than-gigabit speeds over conventional network cables and includes a USB-C Power Delivery port supporting up to 100 W to pass through power to a connected laptop or tablet.

Advantages

This adapter provides 2.5 Gigabit LAN connectivity while remaining compatible with 1 Gbps networks; the best available link speed is negotiated automatically using NBASE-T. It supports USB Power Delivery (USB PD 3.0) up to 100 W so the host device can be charged through the adapter. The device is USB powered, uses USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) connectivity for data, and comes in a compact black design for easy integration with laptops and desktop setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting a laptop or PC to a wired 2.5 Gbps or 1 Gbps Ethernet network
• Working in environments where faster-than-gigabit LAN is required (e.g., large file transfers, media streaming, remote work)
• Charging a laptop or tablet via USB Type-C while using a wired network connection

Key specifications

• Interface: USB Type-C™ (host) to RJ45 Ethernet
• Ethernet standard: NBASE-T, supports 2.5 Gbps and 1 Gbps
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)
• Power Delivery: USB PD up to 100 W (Power Delivery port for passthrough charging)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5000 Mbit/s (USB data interface)
• Product colour: Black

How to use

Connect the adapter to the host computer via the USB Type-C™ plug. Attach an Ethernet cable to the adapter’s RJ45 port to establish a wired network connection; the adapter will automatically negotiate the highest supported speed (2.5 Gbps or 1 Gbps) with the network. If required, connect a USB-C power adapter to the Power Delivery port to supply up to 100 W to the connected laptop or tablet while the network connection is active. The adapter can also operate without an external power supply when the host provides sufficient power.

Recommendations

Use a quality CAT5e or higher Ethernet cable to achieve 2.5 Gbps speeds and ensure your network equipment (switch, router) supports NBASE-T or 2.5 GBASE-T to benefit from higher throughput. For reliable charging at higher power levels, use a USB-C power adapter that supports USB PD and provides the required wattage for your laptop.
