Review: Great device for 5gig fiber - It definitely gets your fiber connection to the full 5 gig speeds advertised and it does a great job at connecting to a dock as well
Review: Works properly now - Purchased this ethernet adapter when it first came out and it didn't go anywhere near 5Gbs So I returned it. A year later I tried it again and now it works great. Maybe the drivers are better. Now I get very close to 5Gbs reliably and although the device gets very warm, it's not hot which is another plus. I am very satisified now.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this adapter require installing a driver?**
A: Modern computer operating systems either include a built-in driver, or can download a driver through Windows Update, however for best performance we recommend installing the latest driver from our website.

**Q: Can this be used with Cat 5e networks?**
A: Yes, the 5Gbps Ethernet standard allows for Cat 5e cables up to 100 meters, however we recommend Cat 6a or better when possible to ensure the most reliable network connection.

**Q: Can this be used with 1, 2.5, 5 or 10 gigabit Ethernet switches?**
A: Yes, the adapter can be used with 1, 2.5, 5, or 10 gigabit Ethernet hardware, and will operate at the maximum data rate of the network device. Please note that this adapter itself is limited to 5GbE.

**Q: Does this adapter require a USB 10Gbps Type-C port?**
A: We recommend USB 10Gbps Type-C host ports, with USB 5Gbps Type-C hosts the network performance will be limited. The adapter can be connected to a USB Standard-A port with a separate USB 3 A to C adapter, this may limit network performance.

**Q: What do the LEDs on the adapter indicate?**
A: The solid amber LED indicates network connectivity, and flashing green LED indicates network activity.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The speed you need
*by K***E on November 26, 2025*

Runs at a perfect 5gbps on macOS. No drivers and it’s easy to setup. There isn’t a better deal in my opinion so I consider this the best value for the money. Compatible on macOS, Linux, and windows 11 from my tests with no drivers. Does get a little warm to the touch but nothing more.
