Ethernet Converter Lindy USB 3.0 to 2.5G 43313

The Lindy USB 3.0 Type A to 2.5G Ethernet Converter enables a computer, notebook or tablet with a USB-A port to connect to a wired Ethernet network at multi-gigabit speeds. Compact and bus-powered, the adapter provides an RJ-45 port that supports up to 2.5 Gbps over existing Cat5e/6 cabling when used with network equipment that supports 2.5GBASE-T (IEEE 802.3bz).

Advantages

This USB 3.0 to 2.5G Ethernet converter offers high data throughput up to 2.5 Gbps without requiring an external power supply thanks to USB bus power. Its small size and lightweight silver design make it easy to carry with laptops, ultrabooks and tablets. The adapter uses a USB-A connector and an RJ-45 port, ensuring compatibility with devices that lack built-in wired network interfaces.

Suitable for

• Ultrabooks and notebooks without an Ethernet port
• Tablets and lightweight laptops that require reliable wired connectivity
• Workplaces and home offices using Cat5e/Cat6 cabling
• Users needing faster-than-gigabit speeds where switches support 2.5GBASE-T

How to use

Connect the USB-A plug of the adapter to an available USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 Type A port on your computer or tablet. Plug a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable from the adapter into your network switch or router. Ensure the network switch or router supports 2.5GBASE-T if you require 2.5 Gbps speeds. The adapter is bus-powered and typically requires no separate power source. Install any required drivers if prompted by the operating system.

Recommendations

For optimal performance at 2.5 Gbps, use Cat5e or Cat6 cabling in good condition and verify that the connected switch or router explicitly supports 2.5GBASE-T (IEEE 802.3bz). If maximum throughput is not achieved, check USB port generation (USB 3.0/3.1 Gen1/USB 3.2 Gen1 recommended) and update drivers or firmware as needed.
