Network Card DeLOCK 66298 Ethernet 5000 Mbit/s

The DeLOCK 66298 network adapter provides a wired Ethernet interface for PCs and laptops via a USB Type-C host connection and is also compatible with Thunderbolt 3 ports. It supports NBASE-T technology for higher-than-gigabit speeds and is finished in black to match most setups.

Advantages

The adapter supports a maximum data transfer rate of 5000 Mbit/s and offers backward-compatible networking standards (IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3bz, IEEE 802.3u). NBASE-T support enables automatic selection of the best available link speed, including 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps, using conventional network cables. The USB Type-C host interface allows easy connection to modern laptops and desktops, while Thunderbolt 3 compatibility ensures broader device support.

Suitable for

• Connecting a laptop or desktop to wired Ethernet networks
• Environments requiring higher-than-gigabit throughput (e.g., 2.5 Gbps)
• Users with devices that provide USB Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports
