Sonnet Solo5G interface cards/adapter RJ-45

5x Network Performance
500% the Speed of Gigabit Ethernet

Solo5G
USB-C to 5 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter for Mac, Windows and Linux

Even Faster Transfers Across Existing 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 – Even Faster Speeds with a Multi-Gigabit Switch
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.

Upgrade to 5Gb Ethernet with Existing Cat 5e Cable
No need to rewire your building; existing wiring already supports up to 5Gbps.

Compact. Bus-powered. Rugged
Solo5G measures just 1.2 inches wide by 3.2 inches deep by 0.7 inches tall and fits easily into a pocket in your backpack or equipment bag. Enabling truly portable use, this Sonnet aluminum enclosure adapter is powered by your computer’s USB or Thunderbolt port, connecting via the attached 6-inch (0.15-meter) USB‑C cable. The adapter’s rugged aluminum case withstands heavy use.

Zero Driver Installation, Simple Configuration
There’s no software for you to install — just connect Solo5G USB‑C to 5 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter to your computer and to the network switch (or directly to your NAS), and then configure the adapter’s settings through the macOS Network control panel, Windows Device Manager, or Linux command line (or graphical utility). How’s that for simple?

Efficient, Silent, and Runs Cool
Solo5G supports the Energy-Efficient Ethernet (IEEE802.3az) standard, which reduces the adapter’s power demands on your computer. The adapter runs cool and silent.

Faster Connection to Your NAS
Solo5G enables you to achieve faster file transfers to and from your Network Attached Storage (NAS) with 5GbE or 2.5GbE support.
