The STARTECH US2GC30 is a USB-C to Ethernet adapter designed for business and IT professionals requiring a reliable wired network connection. This device enables laptops or other USB-C equipped systems to connect to networks at speeds up to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet. It supports NBASE-T standards, allowing for multi-gigabit speeds over existing Cat 5e or better RJ45 LAN cabling. The adapter features auto-negotiation for optimal bandwidth, supporting 2.5G, 1G, and 100 Mbps speeds. It addresses the need for secure, high-speed network access in environments where Wi-Fi is insufficient or unavailable, providing a stable alternative for data transfers, video conferencing, and other bandwidth-intensive business applications. This solution is suitable for organizations looking to upgrade network capabilities without replacing existing infrastructure.
The adapter supports three primary network speeds: 2.5 Gigabit per second (2.5G), 1 Gigabit per second (1G), and 100 Megabits per second (100 Mbps). It utilizes auto-negotiation to achieve the maximum possible bandwidth.
This adapter connects to networks using standard RJ45 LAN cables. It is compatible with Cat 5e or higher rated cables for optimal performance, especially at multi-gigabit speeds.
NBASE-T is a technology that enables multi-gigabit Ethernet speeds (like 2.5G and 5G) to be transmitted over existing Cat 5e and Cat 6 copper cabling, which were originally designed for 1 Gigabit Ethernet.
This product is primarily for business and IT buyers who need to provide high-speed, reliable wired network connectivity to laptops or other devices equipped with a USB-C port, especially in environments where Wi-Fi is not preferred or sufficient.
