The STARTECH US2GA30 USB 3.0 Type-A to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter provides a wired network connection for devices lacking an integrated Ethernet port. This adapter is designed for business and IT professionals who require a stable, high-speed network interface for laptops, desktops, or other compatible hardware. It addresses the common challenge of connecting to modern network infrastructure, including 2.5GBASE-T, 1G, and 100Mbps networks, via a standard USB 3.0 Type-A port. The device utilizes USB 3.1 Type-A over CAT 5e cabling to ensure reliable data transfer rates. Its single RJ45/LAN port offers a 3-speed USB 3.0 NIC, supporting 2.5G, 1G, and 100M speeds. This adapter is suitable for environments where wireless connectivity is unreliable or where a secure, high-bandwidth wired connection is preferred for tasks such as large file transfers, network diagnostics, or connecting to corporate networks.
The adapter supports 2.5 Gigabit, 1 Gigabit, and 100 Megabit Ethernet speeds. It is compatible with 2.5GBASE-T, 1G, and 100Mbps networks.
This adapter requires a USB 3.0 Type-A port for connection. It utilizes USB 3.1 Type-A over CAT 5e for its operation.
