The Waveshare 5G M.2 to Gigabit Ethernet Converter, 5G M.2 to USB3.1, Aluminum Alloy Case (RM520N-GL, EU) is a sophisticated device designed to facilitate high-speed 5G networking. It supports 5G modules with an M.2 (NGFF) Key B interface, making it compatible with a wide range of mainstream 5G modules from renowned brands such as SIMCom, Quectel, and Fibocom. The converter is equipped with an onboard RTL8125 Ethernet chip, enabling seamless conversion from 5G to Gigabit Ethernet, thus ensuring efficient and rapid data transmission.

This converter features an onboard USB 3.1 Type-A port, which allows for direct connection to PCs, Raspberry Pi, or Jetson series motherboards, providing high-speed 5G networking or debugging capabilities. The device is powered through a versatile voltage translator circuit, supporting a 9-12V power supply via a DC jack or a 5V/2A supply via the USB 3.1 port. Additionally, it includes a standard SIM card slot and indicators for power supply and network status, along with a reset button for monitoring and debugging purposes.

Encased in a robust aluminum alloy with an oxidation dull-polish surface, the converter is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. It supports both desktop and wall-mount installations, offering flexibility in deployment. The package includes four omnidirectional high-gain antennas and a 12V power supply adapter, ensuring ease of use with the 5G module.

The device supports multiple operating modes, including USB3.1 Port Direct Connection Mode, Gigabit Ethernet Port Direct Connection Mode, Router Mode, and a simultaneous networking mode via both USB 3.1 and Gigabit Ethernet ports. These modes provide versatile networking solutions for various devices and applications.

Note: The 5G module must support simultaneous conversion of USB and Gigabit Ethernet ports for networking. The RM520N-GL model supports only one channel at a time.
