AXAGON USB‑C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter ADE‑SRC


















AXAGON USB‑C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter ADE‑SRC

Fast and stable gigabit connection
The RJ‑45 port with 10/100/1000 Mb/s support ensures a reliable wired network where Wi‑Fi falls short. Ideal for work, streaming, and online gaming.

Easy USB‑C installation
Plug in and get going in moments. On Windows 8.1+, the driver installs automatically; compatibility also covers macOS, Linux, and selected Android devices.

Efficient and smart operation
Support for EEE 802.3az, advanced power management, and features like Wake‑on‑LAN and VLAN reduce power consumption and expand network management options.
The AXAGON ADE‑SRC is a reliable USB‑C gigabit network adapter that provides fast and stable wired connectivity wherever Wi‑Fi is insufficient. Thanks to the Realtek RTL8153 chipset, it supports advanced features such as Checksum Offload, TCP Large Send Offload, Auto MDI/MDIX, and Jumbo Frames, minimizing CPU load while maintaining high network performance.
Installation is simple: on Windows 8.1 and newer it proceeds automatically even without an internet connection, and broad compatibility with macOS, Linux, and Android enables use with notebooks, ultrabooks, and selected phones and tablets with USB‑C. Two LEDs clearly indicate link and network activity.
