StarTech 2GPD3-USB-C-ETHERNET 2.5GbE USB-C to Ethernet Adapter
Overview
The StarTech 2GPD3-USB-C-ETHERNET is a compact adapter designed to equip USB-C enabled laptops, workstations, and tablets with a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port. This is critical for environments requiring higher network throughput than standard 1Gbps connections, such as high-definition video streaming, large file transfers, or demanding surveillance network access. Its integrated 100W Power Delivery pass-through allows you to charge your host device simultaneously via its USB-C port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter and conserving valuable ports. The adapter utilizes the Realtek RTL8156BG chipset for reliable performance.
Compatibility
This adapter connects via USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) and is compatible with any host device featuring a USB-C port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 or higher, including Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ports. It supports IEEE 802.3i, 802.3u, 802.3ab, and 802.3bz standards, ensuring broad compatibility with existing and emerging network infrastructure. It is suitable for use with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.
Installation Notes
The adapter has an operating temperature range of 0 to 45°C (32 to 113°F) and a storage temperature range of -10 to 70°C (14 to 158°F). It supports 16K Jumbo Frames, which can improve network efficiency for large data transfers by reducing packet overhead, provided your network infrastructure also supports them. The integrated 6-inch cable provides some flexibility in placement.
