Product description
[Connectivity]Super Speed USB 3.0 Male A to 2.5G RJ45 Female Ethernet adapter connects your computer, Raspberry Pi 3 or tablet to a router, modem or network switch for network connection. It adds a standard RJ45 port to your Ultrabook, notebook or Macbook for file transferring, video conferencing, gaming, and HD video streaming.
[Upgrade your existing Ethernet port] USB 3.0 to 2. 5Gbps Ethernet adapter is an easy to use solution to quickly upgrade your current RJ-45 LAN port to 2. 5Gbps.
Meet the requirements to get 2.5G Ethernet: 1), downloaded the drivers from Realtek offical site (chip: RTL8156B); 2), check if your Network card and your Router can support 2.5G Ethernet or not; 3), make sure to connect Cat 6 or above lan cable to the Router.
[Capacity]Supports 10M/ 100M/ 1000M (1G)/ 2500M (2.5G) bandwidth, twisted pair crossover detection and auto-correction (auto MDIX) ; support WOL (Wake-On-LAN), Full Duplex flow (FDX) (10M/100M/1G/2.5G Rate), auto-negotiation and back pressure routing. Backwards compatible with USB 1.0, USB 1.1, USB bus powered, no external power supply required
[Compatibility]Built-in with Realtek IC chip, drivers needed before get it to work, plug and play after one time driver installation;
Supports operating system for computers as Windows 10/ 8.1/ 8/ 7/ Vista/ XP (32/ 64bit); MacOS/ Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.15 version; Linux kernel up to 4.15 ; NOT compatible with Windows RT, or Android
The 2.5G USB Network Card is suitable for multiple market segments and emerging applications, such as desktop, workstation, server, communications platforms, and embedded applications.
The RTL8156B(S) offers high-speed transmission over CAT 5e UTP cable or CAT 3 UTP (10Mbps only) cable. Functions such as Crossover Detection and Auto-Correction, polarity correction, MDI swap, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, RFI protection, thermal management, loopback diagnostic capability, and error correction are implemented to provide robust transmission and reception capabilities. The RTL8156B(S) features embedded One-Time-Programmable
One-Time-Programmable (OTP) memory that can replace the external EEPROM (93C46/93C56/93C66).
