## Description

Buy SABRENT USB-C to 5Gb Ethernet Adapter, 5GbE/2.5GbE Multi-Gig (NT-C5GA) | 5 Gigabit wired LAN, USB-C to RJ45, USB 3.2 Gen 2 for full 5Gbps, Windows/macOS/Linux, Not WiFi or cellular, Aluminum: USB Network Adapters - desertcart.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases

## Features

- FULL 5Gbps NEEDS A USB 3.2 GEN 2 (10Gbps) PORT: Plug into a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and connect to a 5GbE router/switch with a CAT6a (or better) cable to reach the full 5Gbps. On a USB 3.0 / 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) port, expect around 2.5Gbps — still a big jump over standard Gigabit.
- TRUE MULTI-GIG, AUTO-NEGOTIATING: Automatically connects at 5GbE, 2.5GbE, 1GbE, or 100Mbps to match your network — 802.3bz / 5GBASE-T compliant, backward compatible with all your existing gear. Great for faster NAS access, file transfers, streaming, and low-latency work.
- DETECTED BUT NO CONNECTION? UPDATE THE DRIVER FIRST: Windows 10/11 and macOS are driver-free. If Windows sees the adapter but the link is missing or slow, run Windows Update to pull the current Realtek driver, then restart — that clears most no-connection reports. While you test, plug straight into the computer's USB-C port rather than through an unpowered hub or adapter chain. Linux needs a kernel with a recent Realtek r8157 driver. The newest drivers are on the manufacturer's website, and support can help before you return it.
- USB-C ONLY, AND WIRED ONLY — CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY: This is a wired Ethernet adapter with an integrated USB-C cable — it does NOT add WiFi and it is NOT a cellular 5G/LTE modem; you connect it to a router, switch, or NAS with a network cable. It needs a data-capable USB-C port (USB 3.x / USB4 / Thunderbolt) and will not work on power-only (charge-only) USB-C ports. Supported systems: Windows 10/11, macOS, and Linux with a recent Realtek r8157 kernel driver.
- ALUMINUM BUILD, RTL8157CG CHIPSET: A rugged aluminum housing doubles as a heatsink for stable performance during long transfers. Powered by the Realtek RTL8157CG controller. Bus-powered (no external power) with LED indicators: green = 5GbE, amber = lower speed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why am I not getting 5Gbps speeds?**
A: Full 5Gbps needs every part of the chain to support 5GbE: a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) port, a 5GbE router/switch/NAS, and a CAT6a+ cable. If any link is slower, the adapter auto-negotiates down. Also confirm your source can deliver 5Gbps.

**Q: Why is my connection limited to 2.5Gbps or lower?**
A: The usual cause is a USB 3.0 / 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) port — after USB overhead, real speed lands near 2.5Gbps. Use a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, confirm your switch and cable (CAT6a+) support 5GbE, and on Windows run Windows Update for the latest Realtek driver.

**Q: Does this work with all USB-C devices?**
A: It works with data-capable USB-C ports (USB 3.x, USB4, or Thunderbolt 3/4). It will NOT work on power-only / charge-only ports. Support on phones and tablets varies; it's built for Windows, macOS, and Linux computers.

**Q: Do I need to install drivers?**
A: Windows 10/11 and macOS are driver-free. If Windows is slow right after plugging in, run Windows Update for the latest Realtek driver. Linux uses a recent Realtek r8157 kernel driver. Newest drivers are on Sabrent.com.

**Q: Why is my adapter warm?**
A: Warmth is normal — the aluminum body acts as a heatsink and multi-gig adapters run warm during sustained transfers. Keep it in open air for long, heavy workloads; performance is unaffected.
