Overview
The UGREEN CM648 (25051) gives a laptop or PC a 2.5 Gbps wired network port through USB-A 3.0, for faster transfers to a NAS (network-attached storage) or server on a 2.5G network. It uses the Realtek RTL8156BG controller, links at 2500, 1000, 100 or 10 Mbps to match the network, and comes in an aluminium housing on a short 15 cm lead.
Is it right for you?
- Suits a computer on a network with 2.5G switch or router ports, for faster transfers than Gigabit allows.
- Also works on an ordinary Gigabit network, at 1 Gbps.
- Needs a USB-A 3.0 port; a USB 2.0 port or a Gigabit-only switch will not give 2.5 Gbps.
- If your laptop only has USB-C, choose a USB-C adapter: this one has a USB-A plug.
Key features
- One RJ45 port auto-negotiating 2500, 1000, 100 or 10 Mbps.
- Realtek RTL8156BG controller.
- USB-A 3.0 host connection on an integrated 15 cm TPE lead.
- Aluminium housing.
- Official drivers for Windows, macOS and Linux families, version-dependent.
What else you need
- A computer with a free USB-A 3.0 port and an Ethernet cable: qualified Cat5e can carry 2.5GBASE-T, and Cat6 is recommended.
- A 2.5G-capable switch, router or NAS port at the other end for the full speed.
Installation
Plug it into a USB-A 3.0 port, connect the network cable and install the driver for your operating system if it is not already present.
Software and licences
Drivers are available for Windows, macOS and Linux, depending on version. Selected Android devices with OTG (USB On-The-Go) may work, device-dependent.
