USB-C to RJ45 Fast Ethernet LAN Adapter - USB2.0 - CAT5 You can use this USB2.0 network adapter to connect your USB Type C devices to your network via a cable. It is ideal when a network connection is not available, as on many ultrabooks, netbooks and new laptops, but also when it is defective. CAT5 This adapter complies with the CAT5 specification, which means it can be used in networks up to 100 Mbit/s (Fast Ethernet networks). When using this adapter in a faster network, the maximum data rate will be limited to 100 Mbit/s. As many providers in the Netherlands offer increasingly higher internet speeds, it is recommended to use a CAT6 Gigabit adapter. It is also recommended to consider a CAT6 Gigabit adapter for intensive downloading and streaming. CAT6 is 10 times faster than CAT5. U/UTP This adapter is unshielded. You can use this adapter for unshielded network cables (U/UTP), recognizable by the transparent connectors. Do you have F/UTP or S/FTP network cables, recognizable by their metal connectors? In that case, keep in mind that you will lose shielding when connecting them. The USB Type-C connector is the latest USB connector, specially designed to transfer more data and more power through a relatively small connector. Its compact size makes this connection ideal for portable devices. The USB-C connector is designed to always fit into the port. Therefore, you no longer need to check how to insert the connector.
