Upgrade your Windows or Linux computer to Bluetooth 5 technology with this Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy Adapter. With Bluetooth 5.0 connect as many as 7 devices, from twice as far away and 8x faster than with Bluetooth 4.

With Bluetooth 5, you'll experience faster connections-to more devices-from farther away.

The PC Bluetooth Adapter is Bluetooth certified and ideal for connecting to audio, IoT and home automation devices that support Bluetooth 5. The adapter is also backward compatible with previous versions of Bluetooth.

And because Bluetooth 5 uses less power than previous versions, you can stay connected longer. A useful feature when you're connected to up to 7 devices.

This Bluetooth PC adapter is fast. Twice as fast as Bluetooth 4, in fact. That means 5Mbps of data to satisfy even the most data hungry of IoT devices.

And now, you can take that connection for a walk. With a more reliable and extended range, Bluetooth 5, lets you send your signal up to 40m so you can stay connected to your devices, even when you're farther away.

When used with Bluetooth 5 Low Energy devices, the range of the adapter can reach up to 40m/130ft indoors, compared to the 10m/32ft range of previous bluetooth standards.

With the extended LE range of Bluetooth 5, wearables and IoT devices can send data at ranges up to 40m indoors. Bluetooth 5 has different operation modes. By default, the regular range is 10m. Modes for long-range operation require compatible devices.

The Plugable Bluetooth USB Adapter is compatible with Windows 11 and 10 PCs that don't already have Bluetooth.

Supports Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (BR/EDR + LE).
