The Waveshare 5G M.2 to Gigabit Ethernet Converter, 5G M.2 to USB3.1, Aluminum Alloy Case (RM520N-GL, US) is a sophisticated device designed to facilitate high-speed 5G networking. It supports 5G modules with an M.2 (NGFF) Key B interface and is compatible with mainstream 5G modules from 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 data transmission via the Gigabit Ethernet port.

The device features an onboard USB 3.1 Type-A port, which allows for connectivity with PCs, Raspberry Pi, or Jetson series motherboards, providing high-speed 5G networking or debugging capabilities. It includes a voltage translator circuit that supports a 9-12V power supply via a DC 5.5mm jack or a 5V/2A power supply via the USB 3.1 port. Additionally, the converter is equipped with a standard SIM card slot, power supply and network indicators, and a reset button for monitoring the module’s operational status and facilitating 5G debugging.

Encased in a durable aluminum alloy enclosure with an oxidation dull-polish surface and CNC process opening, the converter is designed for both desktop and wall-mount support. It comes with four 5G omnidirectional high-gain antennas and a 12V power supply adapter, ensuring ease of use with the 5G module.

The converter supports multiple operating modes, including USB3.1 Port Direct Connection Mode, Gigabit Ethernet Port Direct Connection Mode, Router Mode, and USB 3.1 Port and Gigabit Ethernet Port Simultaneous Networking Mode. These modes enable versatile networking solutions for various devices, ensuring robust and flexible connectivity options.

Note: The 5G module must support simultaneous conversion of USB port and Gigabit Ethernet port for networking. All compatible 5G modules support this function, except for RM502Q-AE and RM520N-GL, which can only support one channel at a time.
