Delock USB Type-C™ 10 Gigabit LAN RJ45 – Universal 10GbE Network Adapter for USB-C, USB4, and Thunderbolt

The Delock USB Type-C™ 10 Gigabit LAN is one of the most versatile external 10GbE network adapters available on the market. Unlike many 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters that require Thunderbolt or USB4, this model allows you to enjoy high-speed networking even on computers equipped only with standard 5 Gb/s USB-C or 10 Gb/s USB-C ports.

Thanks to the advanced Realtek RTL8159 controller, the adapter delivers a maximum throughput of up to 10 Gb/s when paired with a 20 Gb/s USB port. At the same time, it maintains full functionality with slower USB-C interfaces, achieving transfer rates of approximately 7 Gb/s with USB 10 Gb/s and approximately 3 Gb/s with USB 5 Gb/s.

This is a huge advantage over many competing solutions, which only work on high-speed 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt or 40 Gb/s USB4 ports.

The adapter is ideal for professional applications such as editing 4K and 8K video footage directly from NAS servers, working with large photo libraries, data backup, RAID array support, audio production environments, and business infrastructure requiring high bandwidth.

High-Speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet for Every Computer

The device supports the full range of Ethernet standards:

• 10 Mb/s Ethernet
• 100 Mb/s Fast Ethernet
• 1 Gb/s Gigabit Ethernet
• 2.5 Gb/s NBASE-T
• 5 Gb/s NBASE-T
• 10 Gb/s 10GBASE-T

Thanks to NBASE-T technology, the adapter automatically selects the highest possible connection speed. This allows you to use existing Cat5e or Cat6 network cabling without the need for costly infrastructure upgrades.

Ideal for Apple, Windows, and Linux computers

The Delock USB Type-C™ 10 Gigabit LAN adapter is compatible with computers equipped with the following ports:

• USB-C 5 Gb/s
• USB-C 10 Gb/s
• USB-C 20 Gb/s
• USB4
• Thunderbolt 3
• Thunderbolt 4
• Thunderbolt 5

This makes the adapter an excellent solution for users of Apple Mac mini, Mac Studio, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air computers, as well as Windows workstations and servers and computers running Linux.

Professional networking features

The network adapter supports a range of advanced features used in professional environments:

• IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab
• IEEE 802.3bz (2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T)
• IEEE 802.3an (10GBASE-T)
• IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet
• IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
• IEEE 802.1P network traffic prioritization
• IEEE 802.3x Full Duplex Flow Control
• Jumbo Frames up to 16 KB

This solution is ideal for both small businesses and professional production studios where stable and high-speed network communication is required.

Compact aluminum design

The sturdy aluminum housing effectively dissipates heat during operation under heavy network loads. With compact dimensions of 77 × 34 × 15 mm and a 15 cm USB-C cable, the adapter is convenient to take on the go or use in an office environment.

LEDs indicate activity and the status of the network connection, and power is supplied directly via the USB-C port without the need for an additional power adapter.
