SoNNeT Solo2.5 USB-C to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The Sonnet Solo2.5G adapter, featuring NBASE-T technology (also known as multi-Gigabit Ethernet), supports 2.5 Gb/s link speeds (2.5GBASE-T) over common Cat 5e or better cabling when used with a compatible 2.5 Gb Ethernet switch or 10 Gb Ethernet switch with NBASE-T support. This compact adapter offers a cost-effective solution, with very affordable 2.5 GbE models available from various manufacturers, including Asustor, Cisco, D-Link, Netgear, QNAP, TP-Link, and TRENDnet.

When connected to the right switch, the Solo2.5G can provide significant performance gains, delivering up to 250 percent the speed of Gigabit Ethernet, without the need for rewiring. In cases where the switch does not support NBASE-T, the adapter also supports 1 Gb/s and 100 Mb/s link speeds.

The Solo2.5G adds a multi-Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) port to your computer, enabling you to take advantage of the NBASE-T standard and enjoy 2.5Gb/s speeds when paired with a compatible switch or router. It also supports 1 Gb/s and 100 Mb/s speeds, ensuring broad compatibility.

The adapter's broad computer compatibility extends across various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Chromebook, and even certain iPad tablets. It connects directly to any USB-C or Thunderbolt computer port, or can be daisy-chained at the end of a Thunderbolt device.

One of the standout features of the Solo2.5G is its plug-and-play simplicity. The drivers that support the adapter are already part of your computer's operating system software, so there's no need to install any additional software. The adapter is also bus-powered through its USB-C captive cable connection, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter.

In summary, the Sonnet Solo2.5G adapter offers a compact and affordable solution for adding multi-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to your computer. With its support for the NBASE-T standard, wide compatibility, and hassle-free setup, it's an excellent choice for users seeking to upgrade their network performance without the complexity of rewiring or driver installation.
