The adapters add a wired LAN connection to laptops that lack a LAN port. Both models work with USB-A and USB Type-C through an included Type-C conversion adapter, and neither requires a driver install. The EDC-QUA3CV2-B sells for 3,980 yen; the EDC-QUA3CV2E-B for 3,581 yen. Elecom positions the adapters for tasks that need stable throughput, including large game downloads, cloud transfers, web meetings, and online classes. The adapters support a theoretical maximum of 2.5Gbps, which Elecom says is about 2.5 times faster than a 1Gbps connection. The aluminum housing is meant to improve heat dissipation and noise resistance, and the roughly 0.15m cable keeps the unit easy to manage on a desk. Elecom says the wired link avoids the radio interference and dropouts that can affect Wi-Fi.","whyItMatters":"Elecom is pitching 2.5Gbps wired networking as an upgrade path for existing PCs, since even a 1Gbps-port machine can reach the higher speed with a compatible router and cable.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe two adapters share a compact aluminum body that Elecom says improves heat dissipation and noise resistance. The unit weighs about 56g and measures roughly 59 x 26 x 16mm, and the cable runs about 0.15m, short enough to keep wiring tidy around the desk.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElecom frames the adapters as a way to add fast wired networking to machines that were not built with a LAN port, and the company notes the higher speed is not locked to new hardware. A PC with only a 1Gbps port can still run at 2.5Gbps if the user supplies a compatible router and LAN cable.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EDC-QUA3CV2-B, the higher-priced model at 3,980 yen, is the one that works with Elecom\u0026#39;s free MAC Address Changer software.
