Ugreen USB Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter-UG- 80889

The UG-80889 brings Bluetooth 5.0 technology to desktop computers and laptops lacking built-in wireless capability. This compact USB adapter utilizes the Realtek RTL8761BU chipset, delivering enhanced data transfer speeds up to 3Mbps. Moreover, the adapter incorporates Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) and Low Energy (LE) protocols for improved performance and reduced power consumption.

The CM390 model designation represents Ugreen’s commitment to reliable wireless connectivity. Users can establish stable connections with various Bluetooth-enabled peripherals including audio devices, input accessories, and gaming controllers. Additionally, the adapter maintains backward compatibility with Bluetooth 4.0, 3.0, 2.1, 2.0, and 1.1 standards.

Extended Range and Multi-Device Support

This Bluetooth dongle provides wireless connectivity up to 20 meters (66 feet) in open spaces. The extended range eliminates the need for proximity between connected devices and the host computer. Furthermore, the UG-80889 supports simultaneous connections to five different Bluetooth devices without signal interference.

The adapter operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band (2.402GHz – 2.480GHz), standard for Bluetooth communication. It supports essential Bluetooth profiles including A2DP for audio streaming, AVRCP for media control, HFP for hands-free communication, and HSP for headset functionality. Consequently, users can connect headphones, speakers, keyboards, mice, and printers through a single adapter.

Plug-and-Play Installation for Modern Systems

The UG-80889 offers driver-free operation on Windows 11, 10, and 8.1 operating systems. Users simply insert the adapter into an available USB 2.0 port to enable Bluetooth functionality. The system automatically recognizes the device and displays the Bluetooth icon in the system tray.

For Windows 7 and earlier versions, manual driver installation is required. Drivers are available through Ugreen’s official website by searching model number 80889. The installation process follows standard Windows driver setup procedures. Meanwhile, the adapter also supports macOS 10.9 through 10.15 and various Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Mint, and Debian.

Ultra-Compact Design for Portability

The adapter measures 53mm × 24mm × 13mm (approximately 2.1 × 0.9 × 0.5 inches) and weighs just 3.3 grams. This minimal footprint allows the UG-80889 to remain inserted in USB ports without obstructing adjacent connections. The device features an integrated LED indicator that displays connection status.

The included protective dust cap shields the USB connector during storage and transport. The compact form factor makes the adapter ideal for laptop users who frequently travel. Therefore, users can add Bluetooth capability to any compatible computer without carrying bulky accessories.

Reliable Performance for Gaming and Audio

The EDR technology enables low-latency data transmission critical for gaming applications. Players using wireless controllers with Xbox One S, PS4, or PS5 experience responsive input without noticeable delay. The adapter maintains stable connections during extended gaming sessions.

For audio applications, the A2DP profile ensures high-quality stereo sound transmission to Bluetooth headphones and speakers. Users can stream music, participate in video calls, and watch multimedia content with clear audio reproduction. However, actual audio quality depends on the connected Bluetooth device’s capabilities.
