Compact, Bus-powered Adapter Adds Instant 5 Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity to Computers With USB-C or Thunderbolt ports

What's New:

Sonnet Technologies today announced the Solo5G USB-C to 5 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, a new budget-friendly addition to Sonnet's comprehensive array of Ethernet network adapters. Featuring NBASE-T (multi-Gigabit) Ethernet technology, the Solo5G adapter adds 5GbE, 2.5GbE, and Gigabit (GbE) network connectivity to a broad array of computers, enabling superfast data transfers over the existing Ethernet network cabling infrastructure found in most buildings today.

What It Does:

Featuring an aluminum enclosure and measuring just 1.2 inches wide by 3.2 inches long by 0.7 inches tall, the Solo5G is a compact, fanless 5 Gigabit Ethernet adapter for Mac , Windows , and Linux computers. Equipped with an RJ45 port plus link and activity LED indicators, the adapter supports 5GbE (aka 5GBASE-T) connectivity via common Cat 5e (or better) copper cabling at distances of up to 100 meters. The adapter's 0.15-meter captive USB-C cable connects to a USB-C or Thunderbolt (Type-C ) port on a computer and is bus-powered for convenient, energy-efficient, and portable operation.

Why It's Important:

The Sonnet Solo5G utilizes NBASE-T (multi-Gigabit Ethernet) technology to provide users with a simple and inexpensive solution for adding faster network connectivity to computers equipped with USB-C and Thunderbolt (Type-C) ports.

When used with a multi-Gigabit Ethernet-ready 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) switch, network-attached storage (NAS) device, or Wi-Fi router, the Sonnet adapter can deliver performance at 500% the speed of Gigabit Ethernet without a wiring upgrade, saving organizations the expense of upgrading older infrastructure. When needed, Solo5G also supports 2.5Gbps and 1Gbps link speeds.

When You Can Get It:

The Solo5G USB-C to 5 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (part number SOLO5G-USBC) is available now from Sonnet and soon from its worldwide distribution and reseller partners at the suggested retail price of $39.99.
