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.

  • Add a 2.5 GbE Ethernet port to your computer with USB-C or Thunderbolt ports
  • Build a high-speed intranet in your office or studio by just changing your switch
  • Attach to fast NBASE-T Network Attached Storage (NAS)
  • Connect directly to a 2.5Gb Ethernet-capable WiFi Router

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're connecting to a switch without NBASE-T support, Solo2.5G also supports 1 Gb/s and 100 Mb/s link speeds.

250% the Speed of Gigabit Ethernet | Upgrade to 2.5G Ethernet with Existing Cat 5e Cable

No need to rewire your building; existing wiring already supports up to 2.5Gbps
