SABRENT USB Type-C to 5G Ethernet LAN Adapter – Aluminum Body, 5Gbps Multi-Gig LAN Speeds, Backward Compatible with 1GbE/2.5GbE, Bus-Powered, Durable, Plug-and-Play for USB-C Devices (NT-C5GA)

Great item. Works well with my usb4 doc as a fast connection to my NAS!

We bought this Sabrent 5Gbps adapter and plugged it straight into the back of the Thunderbolt port of a Mac Mini M1. We have a 10Gbps switch connected to an 8-bay Synology NAS with a 10Gbps PCI card. I did a test beforehand using the standard 1Gbps RJ-45 connection on the back of the Mac Mini and got 115Mbps for both read and write. When I plugged in the Sabrent 5Gbps adapter it instantly recognised it, no drivers to install. I did another test with the AJA System Test Lite app and got 392Mbps write and 525Mbps read speeds. I am chuffed to mega bits with this adapter. It works flawlessly and has sped up our video-editing workflow.

Plugged it into one of my Caldigit Elements hubs which is connected to my M4 iPad Pro and it was recognised straight away, the adapter is connected to Cat 6 Ethernet which is plugged into a 10Gbe switch.The switch's LEDs show a 5Gbe connection and using File Browser pro to copy movies from my QNAP NAS (4xNvme and 10Gbe) showed a big imrovement on the previous 2.5Gbe adapter, (probably about 75-85% better).Overall a worthwhile investment, no drivers needed and it just works. Now to see if anyone has written a driver for Synology (already have a 2.5Gbe on that :) )

This item is very good.From my testing it is compatible with MacOS and is plug and play. For Debian Linux based systems like Proxmox it requires a driver install as its based on the Reaktek RTL8157 Chipset. But once the driver is installed the speed is incredible. The device gets a little warm but it's nothing to be concerned about. For the price, its excellent!I would recommend to anyone who wants to add a 5Gb port to their system via USB C.

This USB-C to 5G Ethernet adapter works flawlessly with my HP ProBook, giving me a fast and stable wired connection. It’s backward compatible with 1GbE and 2.5GbE, so it works with different network speeds, making it versatile for various setups. Whether I’m using it for everyday browsing or high-bandwidth tasks, the connection remains consistent and reliable.Setup was truly plug-and-play, with no drivers needed. I just connected it, and it was ready to go instantly. The aluminium body gives it a premium feel, and it also helps with heat dissipation, keeping it cool even during long file transfers or extended use.I’ve tested it for large file transfers, streaming, and gaming, and the speeds are solid without any noticeable lag or dropouts. The compact design makes it easy to carry around, and it doesn’t take up much space in a bag or on a desk.Would recommend.

Works as stated 5gb up and down via usb 4 connection

Works a treat and is well made.

I bought this to use with a 2023 Asus G15 laptop running Win11 connected with a 1m Cat 6 cable to a Unifi 10G/5/2.5/1 Switch.It connected, no problem. However, I noticed it only synced at 2.5Gbe and not 5Gbe. The internet was slow; speed tests showed between 25-30 Mbs, whereas swapping back to 1Gbe gave 930Mbs.I tried different cables and different USB-C ports. I also tried it on a Dell 5490 and a Ryzem 7 desktop, but it was still only 25-30Mbs.I then tried it on an M1 Apple Macbook Air. It synced at the full 5Gbe and worked with no problems.I'm not sure why this didn't work with Windows 11, but it was sweet on macOS
