This Plugable adapter is engineered to stay cool under load, with a robust aluminum housing that dissipates heat effectively. It's ideal for professionals who need reliable wired connections in hotels, co-working spaces, or their home rig. With a 2-year warranty and Seattle-based support, it's a purchase you can trust.
It supports up to 100W of Power Delivery, so you can charge a laptop that requires up to 100W. The adapter itself is bus-powered, meaning it gets its power from the USB-C connection, so the pass-through power goes entirely to your device.
On Windows and Linux, you may need to install the included driver. On macOS and ChromeOS, it's plug-and-play and doesn't require additional drivers.
Yes, if your iPad Pro runs iPadOS 17 or later. You can connect the adapter to the iPad's USB-C port and use Ethernet for a stable connection. However, note that not all Ethernet adapters are supported, but this one is designed to work with iPadOS 17.
Make sure your Ethernet cable is Cat5e or higher (Cat6 recommended) and your network infrastructure (router/switch) supports 2.5Gbps. Also check that your Internet plan provides speeds above 1Gbps. Finally, verify that your device's network settings are configured for 2.5Gbps.
My laptop doesn't have an Ethernet port, so I got this adapter for stable connections. I have a 2.5Gbps network at home, and this adapter easily hits those speeds. The 100W pass-through charging is a huge bonus—I can charge my MacBook and use Ethernet with one cable. No setup needed, plug and play on Windows and Mac.
I use this for gaming on my laptop. WiFi was too laggy, but this adapter gives me a rock-solid connection. Speed tests show around 2.3 Gbps on my fiber. The pass-through charging is convenient—no extra wall plug. Very satisfied.
This adapter handles my 2.5Gbps Ethernet and charges my Dell XPS at 100W. It's been flawless for weeks. It gets a bit warm, but that's normal for adapters. The cable is a decent length. Only wish it had a USB-A port for older devices, but that's not a deal-breaker.
It works perfectly on my MacBook Pro and my Windows laptop. However, my cheap Android tablet doesn't recognize it for Ethernet—maybe because that port is limited. The charging pass-through works on all my devices. The 2.5Gbps speed is good. Just check compatibility.
I was excited about this adapter, but after about a week, it stopped providing Ethernet connection. The charging still works, but the network part fails. I tried different cables and devices, but nothing. Maybe I got a defective unit. I'll have to return it.
I was skeptical about the 2.5Gbps speed, but this adapter delivered. It connects to my NAS at full speed, so file transfers are lightning fast. The 100W pass-through keeps my MacBook Pro charged even during heavy workloads. The aluminum body dissipates heat well. Highly recommended.
My laptop only has USB-C ports, so this adapter is a lifesaver. It gives me fast wired internet and charges at the same time. The construction is premium—it feels like a quality product. I've used it for two months without any issues. Worth every penny.
The adapter works as promised: 2.5Gbps Ethernet and 100W charging. It's compact and doesn't overheat. The only downside is the built-in USB-C cable is only about 6 inches, which limits placement. I wish it were longer, but it's okay for my setup.
I'm a streamer, so I need a stable internet connection. This adapter gives me that, and it also charges my laptop flawlessly. Setup was easy, and speeds are consistently high. I love that it's plug-and-play on both Windows and Mac. I've already recommended it to friends.
This is the best Ethernet adapter I've used. I hit 2.5Gbps without any issues. The 100W PD charging is a huge plus. It's compact and solid. I use it with my Lenovo ThinkPad and it works perfectly.
