2E PowerLink network USB adapters
2E-LD318, 2E-U2085, 2E-U2085T adapters are designed for physically connecting a computer or laptop to a wired Ethernet network in case of the absence of a built-in network card with an RJ45 port.
One of the most relevant examples of these adapters is their use with modern ultrabooks, which, in pursuit of compactness and design, have lost some useful classic features. Everything seems fine – a powerful processor and impressive RAM, a fairly capacious battery, light weight and compact size, but the consequence of this pursuit is the lack of a network (LAN) port.
Also, network USB adapter becomes a quick and economical solution if the network card in a laptop or PC fails, and there is no time to search for and select a new one according to the model of the laptop or the motherboard of the PC. The 2E PowerLink network adapter range includes three models with different interfaces and data transfer speeds.

Since the main feature of such devices is their versatility, which is due to their USB connection capability, automatic configuration and compact size, these adapters can be connected not only to laptops or PCs, but also to certain models of TVs and gaming consoles.
Various devices can be made a bit smarter and connected to the network.
