The AS-U2.5G2 – Stronger, Lighter, More Efficient

Instantly upgrade almost any personal computing device with the new and improved AS-U2.5G2. Now with a USB Type-A adapter, aluminum casing and more efficient Realtek controller, enjoy more than double the speed of traditional Gigabit Ethernet on devices with nothing more than a USB port.

 
Taipei, Taiwan 28 January 2021 - ASUSTOR Inc. today has released an upgraded version of AS-U2.5G network adapter, named the AS-U2.5G2, bringing a lighter, smaller, and more efficient 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet experience. The AS-U2.5G2 features the next generation Realtek RTL8156B and an all-new aluminum alloy casing for even more efficient 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet. In addition to its smaller size and enhanced performance, the AS-U2.5G2 has a new design that both saves power and improves heat dissipation with its new aluminum exterior. The AS-U2.5G2 is backwards compatible with previous network standards and supports Gigabit Ethernet and 100-Megabit Ethernet to ensure maximum flexibility for almost any network environment. Featuring a USB3.2 Gen 1 Type-C connection that also includes a Type-A adapter, connect your AS-U2.5G2 to almost any personal computing device and your ASUSTOR NAS to take advantage of upgraded network speeds. The AS-U2.5G2 is directly powered by USB and does not require additional power as it requires no more than 0.68 W. At 0.68 W, the AS-U2.5G2 uses almost 66% less power than the AS-U2.5G which lowers heat output, furthering longevity and increasing efficiency for devices that run on battery.
