Even Faster Transfers Across Existing Ethernet Cabling

Interested in economically achieving 5x network performance at your desk using the existing Cat 5e cabling already in your walls? Sonnet has the solution — Solo5G™ USB‑C to 5 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, an affordable solution that connects an RJ45 port for superfast 5 Gigabit network connectivity to Mac, Windows, and Linux computers with USB‑C or Thunderbolt ports.

Same Connector and Cabling

Featuring NBASE-T technology, the compact Sonnet Solo5G adapter supports 5 Gbps link speeds (5GBASE-T) over common Cat 5e or better cabling when used with a compatible Ethernet switch with multi-Gigabit (NBASE-T) support. Affordable models are available now.

Connected to the right switch, you can get great performance gains — 500 percent the speed of Gigabit Ethernet — without rewiring! In case you’re connecting to a switch without 5GbE support, Solo5G also supports 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, and 100 Mbps link speeds.
