I am using it for PFSENSE, Pfsense does detect it on tiny Lenovo pc M93Q, but you have to plug it on yellow usb port, otherwise it won't work, will keep disconnecting. Other option, if you are plugging it to tiny pc, is to install proxmox, this usb adaptor could be put in any USB port, proxmox will detect it and then use it in any VM\CT. Regards, M Review: Excellent USB network adapter. - Bought a few of those over time as I upgraded my ISP connection speed to 2.5Gbps. Very conveniently comes with USB-A/C adapter and had no failures over the couple of years. The network connection is stable and as fast as advertised when measured with iperf3. Good deal for the money as well. ## Features - Faster Speeds: Achieve double the performance of a traditional Gigabit Ethernet adapter with 2.5Gbps-capable switches or routers for quicker file transfers, smoother video calls, and seamless streaming - USB Compatibility: Convert from USB-C to USB-A with a hybrid 2-in-1 cable for the right connection (USB 3.0 needed for full performance) - No Cable Updates Needed: Utilize existing Cat 5e cabling with 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet signals; pair your USB Ethernet Adapter with 2.5Gbps-capable switches/routers - Wide Compatibility: Compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.x, and 7, macOS 10.7 and newer, iPhone 15 / Pro / Pro Max, and Linux Kernel 3.2 and newer; driver download may be necessary for older OS versions - Enhanced Performance: Install drivers for core features on macOS; driver download and install may be required for older OS and Kernel versions ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B084L4JL9K | | Best Sellers Rank | #39,808 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #999 in Computer Adapters | | Brand | Plugable | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Compatible devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,533 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | IEEE 802.3 | | Data Transfer Rate | 2500 Megabits Per Second | | Data link protocol | IEEE 802.3 | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00819927012269 | | Hardware Interface | USB Type C | | Hardware interface | USB Type C | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7.6L x 3.8W x 0.5H centimeters | | Item Weight | 40 Grams | | Manufacturer | Plugable | | Mfr Part Number | USBC-E2500 | | Model Number | USBC-E2500 | | Product dimensions | 7.6L x 3.8W x 0.5H centimeters | | UPC | 819927012269 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Plugable - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Hardware interface:** USB Type C - **Product dimensions:** 7.6L x 3.8W x 0.5H centimeters ## Images ![Plugable 2.5G USB C and USB to Ethernet Adapter, 2-in-1 Adapter Compatible with USB-C Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.0, USB-C to RJ45 2.5 Gigabit LAN Ethernet, Compatible with Mac and Windows, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kBBJrwM4L.jpg) ![Plugable 2.5G USB C and USB to Ethernet Adapter, 2-in-1 Adapter Compatible with USB-C Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.0, USB-C to RJ45 2.5 Gigabit LAN Ethernet, Compatible with Mac and Windows, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Y9sgCBCOL.jpg) ![Plugable 2.5G USB C and USB to Ethernet Adapter, 2-in-1 Adapter Compatible with USB-C Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.0, USB-C to RJ45 2.5 Gigabit LAN Ethernet, Compatible with Mac and Windows, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81z4vEDnpQL.jpg) ![Plugable 2.5G USB C and USB to Ethernet Adapter, 2-in-1 Adapter Compatible with USB-C Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.0, USB-C to RJ45 2.5 Gigabit LAN Ethernet, Compatible with Mac and Windows, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bcmD9oafL.jpg) ![Plugable 2.5G USB C and USB to Ethernet Adapter, 2-in-1 Adapter Compatible with USB-C Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.0, USB-C to RJ45 2.5 Gigabit LAN Ethernet, Compatible with Mac and Windows, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71T0x6GTViL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works fine with Pfsense *by M***R on 11 October 2023* It's working perfectly fine, I used it with my desktop pc and with tiny pc.
