StarTech 2.5GbE USB‑C Ethernet Adapter with USB‑A

The StarTech 2.5GbE USB‑C Ethernet Adapter delivers high‑speed wired connectivity to modern laptops, tablets and desktops that only offer USB‑C ports. Powered directly from the USB‑C host, the adapter supports data rates up to 2.5 Gbps (2500 Mbps) over a single RJ‑45 port, making it ideal for bandwidth‑intensive applications such as video conferencing, large file transfers and cloud‑based workflows. An included USB‑A to USB‑C converter ensures compatibility with legacy devices, giving IT managers a single, future‑proof solution for mixed‑generation fleets. Built around the reliable Realtek RTL8156BG chipset, the adapter is fully plug‑and‑play across Windows (7‑11), macOS (El Capitan to Sonoma) and major Linux distributions. Features such as VLAN tagging, jumbo‑frame support up to 16 KB, auto‑MDIX and Wake‑on‑LAN provide enterprise‑grade functionality without the need for additional drivers. A subtle LED indicator confirms link status, while the compact grey housing blends seamlessly into any workspace. With CE and RoHS compliance, the adapter meets Australian safety standards and is ready for deployment in office, education and remote‑work environments.
