## Description

Review: Sabrent 5Gbps to USB-C RJ-45 Adapter compatible with Mac Mini M1. Amazing. - We bought this Sabrent 5Gbps adapter and plugged it straight into the back of the Thunderbolt port of a Mac Mini M1. We have a 10Gbps switch connected to an 8-bay Synology NAS with a 10Gbps PCI card. I did a test beforehand using the standard 1Gbps RJ-45 connection on the back of the Mac Mini and got 115Mbps for both read and write. When I plugged in the Sabrent 5Gbps adapter it instantly recognised it, no drivers to install. I did another test with the AJA System Test Lite app and got 392Mbps write and 525Mbps read speeds. I am chuffed to mega bits with this adapter. It works flawlessly and has sped up our video-editing workflow.
Review: works great on mac mini - Got this for a Mac mini and it works a treat, the speed is just shy of 2.5 so very happy with Did I need 2.5 GB? No, but if you can do it, why not have it Totally wasted, really, but i am a geek, so i had to have it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic USB-C to 5Gb Ethernet adaptor!
*by A***R on 24 April 2025*

This item is very good. From my testing it is compatible with MacOS and is plug and play. For Debian Linux based systems like Proxmox it requires a driver install as its based on the Reaktek RTL8157 Chipset. But once the driver is installed the speed is incredible. The device gets a little warm but it's nothing to be concerned about. For the price, its excellent! I would recommend to anyone who wants to add a 5Gb port to their system via USB C.
