Users will likely experience worse performance if they put this NIC on a busy USB 3.0 hub. We will also note that we are using this directly connected to the motherboard, not using an external hub. We also tried the devices on 10Gbps Type-C/ Type-A ports and we stayed within this 1% variance. We saw a 1% variance between using the Type-C and Type-A interface so we will say that this does not make a difference with the 5Gbps port. We also used the speed setting to manually drop speeds from 2.5GbE to 1GbE. We also pushed these through a multi-gigabit switch and saw the same results within a 0.7% margin of error on both setups.

We tested the unit directly attached between two Windows 10 PCs going from the Cable Creation 2.5GbE USB 3 NIC to a TEG-25GECTX NIC. Plugable 2.5GbE USB-C and USB to Ethernet Adapter NIC Performance There are a number of features such as VLAN tagging and Jumbo Frames that one may want to change after setting up the NIC in the standard network adapter configuration, but everything was where we expected. We also tested at 1GbE speeds as well: Plugable 2.5GbE USB 3 Adapter In Windows 10 Connection Status 1GbE Plugable USB 3 2.5GbE Connection Status In Windows 10 You can see that the card immediately connected to our multi-gig switch and negotiated at 2.5Gbps speeds.
You just need Kernel 5.x and support is built-in. We are showing Windows 10 here but Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (beta at the time of this writing) work out of the box as well.

There are updated drivers on Realtek’s website compared to what is now shipping with Windows 10, and modern Linux distros, but having easy plug-and-play functionality is nice. Plugable 2.5GbE USB 3 Adapter In Windows Shows With Realtek USB In our Syba 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe NIC Review, we saw the RT8125 which is the 2.5GbE to PCIe version. You can see here that it identifies as a “Realtek USB 2.5GbE” adapter because the Realtek RT8156 chipset is the company’s 2.5GbE to USB single-chip solution. It identifies as a Realtek 2.5GbE NIC and everything works. You plug in the adapter, and it connects with a DHCP address.
In Windows 10, the Plugable 2.5GbE adapter was dead simple to set up. Plugable 2.5GbE USB-C and USB to Ethernet Adapter NIC Setup Far better than most other low-cost adapters we find. We wanted to point out here that the packaging of this unit is superb. Plugable USB 3 2.5GbE Adapter In USB C And Type A Adapter This port also works at 100Mbit and 1GbE modes as well while supporting 802.3bz for 2.5GbE. You can plug a standard wired Ethernet cable in and this will work. The networking side is a 2.5GbE capable RJ45 port. In either event, these are 5Gbps USB 3 devices, not Gen2 10Gbps devices. Type-C to Type-A adapters are relatively inexpensive and if you are going to have something deployed for 2-5 years, it is wise to optimize on cost. For our readers with relatively stationary servers or workstations, this is likely less exciting. This is extremely convenient if you are on the go and need a different USB interface. What is unique here is that there is a USB-C to Type-A converter on a small lanyard so that it does not get lost. On one side of the adapter, there is a USB Type-C port.

A great example of this is the HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus where we recommended 2.5GbE USB 3 adapters as potential workarounds in our HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus Ultimate Customization Guide. Sometimes, one does not have an extra PCIe slot, such is the case with some smaller servers and workstations. We previously tested the TRENDnet 2.5Gbase-T PCIe Adapter TEG-25GECTX. In our review, we are going to answer that question.įor those looking to internal PCIe adapters, we have also reviewed both the Syba 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe NIC and their Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter as well. Also, while the CableCreation unit was around $29, the Plugable unit cost us $40 so we wanted to see if it was indeed worth an $11 or 38% premium.
We recently published our CableCreation USB 3 Type-A 2.5GbE Adapter Review and we received a request to test the Plugable 2.5GbE adapter as it offers a slightly different feature. This year we have been pushing a move to Nbase-T as part of our efforts to nudge the industry forward.
