Solo2.5G
USB-C to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter for Mac, Windows, Linux, Chromebook, and iPad Pro
Faster Transfers Across Existing Cabling
Have you recently installed a new Ethernet switch capable of supporting 2.5 Gb Ethernet (NBASE-T) on your network? Interested in economically more than doubling network performance at every desk using the existing Cat 5e cabling already in your office walls? Sonnet has the solution — Solo2.5G™, an affordable USB-C to 2.5 Gb Ethernet adapter that provides an RJ45 port for superfast 2.5 Gigabit network connectivity to Mac®, Windows®, Chromebook® and Linux® computers with USB-C® or Thunderbolt™ ports, as well as iPad® tablets with USB-C or Thunderbolt ports.
Same Connector and Cabling – Faster Speeds with 2.5 GbE Switch
Featuring NBASE-T technology (also known as multi-Gigabit Ethernet), Sonnet's compact Solo2.5G adapter 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. Very affordable 2.5 GbE models from Asustor®, Cisco®, D-Link™, Netgear™, QNAP™, TP-Link, TRENDnet™, and others are available now.
Connected to the right switch, you can get great performance gains — 250 percent the speed of Gigabit Ethernet — without rewiring! In case you’reconnecting to a switch without NBASE-T support, Solo2.5G adapter also supports 1 Gb/s and 100 Mb/s link speeds.
