Get to Know about Your Adapter
1. 1. Product Overview
Combined with the latest 2.5GBase-T Technology, TX201 delivers extreme
speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps, which is 2.5× faster than typical Gigabit adapters,
guaranteeing smooth data transmissions for all your bandwidth-intensive tasks.
This will lead you to a new era of 2.5 Gbps home networking.
With extreme speed and ultra-low latency, 2.5GBase-T is backwards compatible
with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, automatically negotiating between
higher and lower speed connections.
