About this item
FASTER THAN GIGABIT - Add a new generation of Ethernet to your existing PC with more than double the performance of a traditional Gigabit Ethernet connection when used with switches or routers capable of 2.5Gbps
KEEP USB UNIVERSAL - This network adapter includes an attached USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter, allowing you to easily use it with any type of USB port you may have (USB 3.0 required for full performance)
USE EXISTING CABLING - 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet signals are designed to work on existing Category 5e cabling. Simply add 2.5Gbps-capable switches to your network and add these adapters for substantially faster LAN transfers
OS COMPATIBILITY - Works with all modern versions of Windows (10, 8.x, and 7), macOS (10.7-10.15), and Linux (Kernel 3.2+). However, driver download and install may be required on older OS and Kernel versions. Some core features require driver install on macOS

macOS CATALINA AND EARLIER NEEDS DRIVERS TO BE INSTALLED FOR FULL PERFORMANCE

I'm sure this is a niche product bc $30 for usb ethernet seem steep.
But if you've invested into newest routers/switches/cabling I imagine it's worth it to you.

for people buying, what's your use case for multigig ethernet?

it's 2.5gbit not 1gbit, hence the price.

Cat5e is capable of 5gbit, you don't really need *new* cabling for it to work.
