AXAGON ADE-25RC, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet USB-C network card
AXAGON ADE-25RC, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet USB-C network card
The AXAGON network card with 2.5Gb/s converts a modern USB-C interface into a fast 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet network port. This compact adapter easily solves the lack of a traditional network connector on modern laptops or replaces a non-functional integrated network card in a computer. The connection is made via an integrated cable with a reversible USB-C connector. This ensures seamless pairing with modern devices, including Thunderbolt 3 and 4 interfaces.
Key features of the AXAGON ADE-25RC, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet USB-C network card
- External adapter converts a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port to a fast 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
- Aluminium housing ensures mechanical durability and effective cooling
- The device operates at speeds of 10, 100, 1000 and 2500Mbit/s
- 15cm cable is permanently attached to the adapter body
- Plug and Play function ensures automatic configuration in operating systems
- Two integrated LEDs indicate network connection activity and status
- Realtek RTL8156B chipset supports advanced power management and Wake-on-LAN functions
High-speed transfers with support for standard cables
The adapter supports transfer speeds of 10/100/1000/2500Mb/s. The IEEE 802.3bz standard offers a key infrastructure advantage. Standard Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables up to 100m long are sufficient for full speed. Users do not need to invest in costly replacements of existing cabling and can get a stable and significantly faster connection to the local network or internet.
Mechanical durability
The adapter's housing is made of aluminium, which serves two important functions at once. The metal case provides reliable mechanical protection during frequent transport and also effectively dissipates the heat generated during intensive network traffic. Its low weight of 26g and small dimensions make this device a convenient travel accessory to carry in a laptop bag.
Automatic installation and wide compatibility
Getting the device up and running is incredibly simple thanks to CDC-ECM standard support and Plug and Play technology. Driver installation is automatic in Windows 8.1 and later operating systems, with no need to download files from the internet or insert installation media. Compatibility also includes macOS and Linux systems.
Advanced network functions to reduce processor load
The device includes an integrated Realtek RTL8156B chipset and supports advanced network protocols. The Checksum Offload Engine reduces the computer's processor load because packet processing takes place directly in the adapter. It also supports Jumbo frames, VLAN tagging and Auto MDI/MDIX automatic crossover cable detection.
Power management
This model is designed for energy efficiency when idle or under low network load. Support for the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard reduces power consumption in idle mode. The adapter is powered directly from the USB bus, so it requires no external power supplies and saves the connected laptop's battery.
Remote computer wake-up in multiple modes
Network administrators will appreciate the extensive support for Wake-on-LAN functions for remotely waking up a computer. The card can wake up via Magic Packet, Microsoft Wakeup Frame, and RealWoW! technology for waking up over the internet. With the ECMA-393 standard, a sleeping computer can manage network connections using proxy servers, increasing management efficiency in corporate networks.
