Ubiquiti ADAPTER-RJ45-USBC5GE | 5G Ethernet Adapter (USB‑C)

A plug-and-play USB-C to Ethernet adapter for adding a wired network port to a device that doesn't have one built in — suited to laptops, mini PCs, or any host with a USB-C port that needs a wired connection to a UniFi network.

Why this one

• USB-C connection means no drivers to hunt down — plug it in and the host OS sees a wired network interface straight away.
• Gives a wired option to ultrabooks and compact PCs that ship without a dedicated Ethernet port, which matters wherever Wi-Fi isn't appropriate or permitted.
• Sits neatly alongside UniFi switching gear: the adapter presents as a standard Ethernet device, so VLAN assignment and traffic policies work the same as any other wired client.

Good fit if you're connecting a laptop or compact machine to a wired UniFi network and the device has USB-C but no built-in Ethernet port.

Worth considering something else if your device has a USB-A port but no USB-C — the ADAPTER-RJ45-USBC5GE won't physically fit, and you'll need to source a USB-A adapter separately.

What you'll also need

A UniFi switch with an available port and a patch cable to hand — the adapter itself supplies the interface, but network access depends on the switch at the other end.
