QNA-UC5G1T
An Easy Plug-n-play way to connect to your QNAP NAS at 5Gb/s with the QNA-UC5G1T
Good news for anyone who wants to upgrade their connectivity to the speed on their NAS, but does not have connections like 10Gbe or a PCIe slot at their disposal, with the announcement of a brand new kind of ethernet adapter from the guys at QNAP. As the designated innovators of NAS and with a well-established history of outside-of-the-box thinking, if any brand was going to challenge the way we access and connect with our data, it was always going to be QNAP. The QNA-UC5G1T is a USB 3.0-to-RJ45 bus-powered device that once connected to a host device via USB-C, then allows you to connect an ethernet device to the other end.
However this is more than a simple ethernet adapter, as it will allow you to access the ethernet connection at upto 5Gb per second (USB 3.0 speeds), that’s 5x faster than your traditional 1Gbe RJ45 LAN connectivity. With their popular Thunderbolt3-to-10Gbe devices (QNA-T310G1T and QNA-T310G1S) proving very popular indeed, it makes sense that they would expand on this hardware logic and the new QNAP QNA-UC5G1T USB-to-5Gbe adapter is the product of that.
What is the QNAP QNA-UC5G1T USB to 5/2.5/1Gbe adapter for?
On the face of it, many users might not understand the significance of this hardware development. In order to really understand, you have to appreciate that the speed of data is becoming an increasing hurdle for many users. Not just photo and video editors, or those with massive amounts of data to shift on a continuous basis. The increasing issue of data size vs access speed is becoming a problem for home users too. Whether they have large scale backups that require a fast turn around, dense media that exceeds the 1 gigabit threshold in practical access terms is growing sluggish or simply that the software on their computer requires faster access and synchronization to the files on their NAS drive.
USB 3.0 to 5GbE Adapter
Connect to 5GbE networks over USB 3.0
The light and portable QNAP QNA-UC5G1T USB 3.0 to 5GbE adapter provides the ability to add an extra network port to your computer or QNAP NAS. Supporting 5GbE/ 2.5GbE/ 1GbE/ 100MbE connections, the QNA-UC5G1T is especially useful for laptops that lack native Ethernet connectivity.
Add a 5GbE Ethernet port to your laptop
To make thinner and lighter laptops, some manufacturers tend to omit Ethernet ports. With the QNA-UC5G1T you can upgrade your laptop to support 5GbE RJ45 Ethernet connectivity and take advantage of high-speed network connections.
Please note:
To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to set the Jumbo Frames on all the devices in your local network environment to MTU 9000.
Add extra Ethernet ports to your NAS
The QNA-UC5G1T provides a quick and easy way to expand the network connectivity of your QNAP NAS. You can connect multiple QNA-UC5G1T adapters to your NAS and manage them alongside other network ports in the Network & Virtual Switch app.
Note:
1. Requires a QNAP NAS with QTS 4.3.6 (or later).
2. The QNA-UC5G1T does not support Port Trunking, DHCP server, RADVD server and Static Routing.
Build a high-speed Intranet in your office or studio
QNAP provide a wide range of network devices to assist business and home users with upgrading their network infrastructure to meet growing bandwidth requirements. The QNA-UC5G1T can be coupled with other devices, including a QNAP 10GbE switch, to create a budget-friendly high-speed network environment for improving the performance of various work and entertainment applications.
Effortless setup
Simply connect a QNA-UC5G1T adapter to your computer using the included USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-A cable (a Type-C to Type-C cable - sold separately - can also be used) and connect the adapter to a 10GbE/ 5GbE/ 2.5G/ 1GbE-capable switch (e.g. QNAP 10GbE switch), NAS, or other device using a RJ45 LAN cable.
