Asustor AS-U2.5G2 Network Adapter With USB3.2 Gen 1 Type-C and 2.5-GbE for NAS

Asustor Inc. released an upgraded version of AS-U2.5G network adapter, the AS-U2.5G2, bringing a lighter, smaller, and 2.5-GbE experience.

It features the next gen Realtek RTL8156B and a new aluminum alloy casing for even more  2.5-GbE. In addition to its smaller size and enhanced performance, it has a design that saves power and improves heat dissipation with its new aluminum exterior. It is backwards compatible with previous network standards and supports GbE and 100Mb/s Ethernet to ensure flexibility for almost any network environment. Featuring a USB3.2 Gen 1 Type-C connection that also includes a Type-A adapter, connect the AS-U2.5G2 to almost any PC device and the company’s 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 0.68W. At 0.68W, it 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.
