An Ethernet adapter is a type of network adapter. Essentially, adapters connect computers/devices to a LAN/WAN via a wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) setup.
If you are considering a wired or hybrid setup for your small- or medium-sized business (SMB) network, you need the best quality Ethernet adapters and cabling that also suit your budget.
With a multitude of options available, selecting an Ethernet adapter that meets your needs can be overwhelming. Here’s an overview of a few options and some key factors to keep in mind.
Key advantages of Ethernet adapters
Benefits:
A fully contained Ethernet network is robust, fast, and very secure. Its signal strength remains uncompromised by objects and walls/barriers.
Most computers have an Ethernet adapter, also known as a network interface card (NIC), pre-installed.
For Wi-Fi laptops, you can use a separate Ethernet adapter; An externally connected USB Ethernet adapter works well for devices without an Ethernet port. An internal PCI or PCIe Ethernet card is ideal for desktops.
HPE offers a diverse range of Ethernet adapters, including Ethernet cable adapters, Ethernet wireless adapters, Ethernet power adapters, and USB Ethernet adapters.

Checklist for buying enterprise-class Ethernet adapters:
Adapters not only help manage network traffic and security, but are among the key server performance drivers. For this reason, it’s important to choose only the best enterprise-class Ethernet adapters and related hardware. Check the features and technical specifications to ensure that wired and wireless parts of your hybrid network are in harmony. Key considerations include:
Does the Ethernet adapter speed match your enterprise network speed and traffic?
Is the adapter compatible with your operating system?
Do you need a single port, multiple ports, or both?
Multiple port adapters are highly secure and apt for multi-tasking. And, if one port malfunctions, the other is still usable.
Single port PoE adapters are an excellent fit for installations with limited power sources.·
Ethernet adapter prices vary with model, speed, and performance. Does the price work with your budget?
