If you’re motherboard doesn’t have 2.5GbE LAN connectivity … don’t worry, ASUSTOR has come to rescue. The AS-U2.5G2 Portable 2.5GbE adapter allows users take advantage of any network environment that offers 2.5GbE via a USB type-C connector.
Taken from TPU … ASUSTOR, the NAS-focused brand of ASUS, unveiled the AS-U2.5G2, a pocket-size external network adapter for 2.5 Gbps Ethernet. Built into a premium casing made of aluminium, the adapter uses a Realtek RTL8156B 2.5 GbE PHY, which is a single-chip solution designed for USB 3.0, without the need for a USB-to-PCIe bridge chip. A single USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection handles both power and host-connectivity. The adapter comes with a convenient USB type-C connector, and a type-C to type-A dongle is included. It measures 16.4 (H) x 23.4 (W) x 195.2 (D) mm, and weighs just 33 g. Since it’s being sold standalone, it’s compatible with not just ASUSTOR NAS products, but also any Windows 10 PC. The company didn’t reveal pricing.
