Axagon AXAGON ADE-25RC USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 2.5G Ethernet adapter
The external network card AXAGON ADE-25RC easily converts a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) port into a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port. It is compatible with 10/100/1000/2500 Mbit/s transfer speeds. The 2.5 Gb/s network adapter expands a computer with a very fast and stable network connection, adds a missing RJ-45 network connector, adds another network card, or replaces the original non-functional network connection.
In addition to 2.5 gigabit throughput, the LAN adapter offers a wide range of features, such as IPv4/IPv6 checksum offload to reduce CPU load from checksums, crossover detection and auto-correction, TCP large send offload, support for various Wake-on-LAN modes, operation with virtual LANs (VLAN), and advanced power management features. The advantage of the IEEE 802.3bz standard is that standard Cat 5e and Cat 6 Ethernet cables up to 100 m in length can be used for 2.5 Gb/s speed.
The metal adapter housing is made of aluminum and provides excellent mechanical protection and very good heat dissipation. Thanks to its compact dimensions and minimal weight, it is an ideal accessory for laptops. Support for current versions of Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems allows it to be used with any desktop PC, laptop, or ultrabook equipped with a modern reversible USB Type-C connector.
In modern operating systems from Windows 8.1 onward, the adapter allows easy automatic installation without the need for an Internet connection.
