What this adapter does

The IHDAPP USB-C 3.1 to 5Gbps RJ45 network card adds a wired Ethernet port to laptops, tablets, phones or consoles that have a USB-C or Thunderbolt port. It supports speeds up to 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with 10, 100, 1000 and 2500 Mbps networks. Buyers who need more than one Ethernet port or a fibre connection cannot use this single-port adapter.

Installation and common issues

The adapter is driver-free on Windows, MacOS and Linux, so it works as soon as it is plugged into a USB 3.1 or higher port. A frequent problem is connecting it to a USB 2.0 port, which limits the link to 1 Gbps. Another issue is using a cable below CAT6A, which prevents the 5 Gbps rate. The aluminium housing helps with heat during sustained transfers.

What to check before ordering

Confirm that your broadband plan exceeds 5 Gbps if you want the full 5000 Mbps throughput. Verify that your router or modem has a 5 Gbps Ethernet output port. Ensure you have a CAT6A or higher patch cable. Check that the host device provides a USB 3.1 or Thunderbolt port; older USB-A ports will not deliver the rated speed.

How do I verify the adapter is delivering 5000 Mbps after connecting it?

Ensure your broadband exceeds 5 Gbps, the router outputs 5 Gbps, the cable is CAT6A or higher, and the host port is USB 3.1 or newer; then check the OS-reported link speed for 5 Gbps.

What comes in the package and what must I supply myself?

Which devices can use this adapter at full 5 Gbps speed?

Any laptop, tablet, phone, Switch or Steam Deck with a USB-C or Thunderbolt 5/4/3 port that supports USB 3.1 or higher, such as recent MacBook Pro/Air, XPS, iPhone 16 series, Galaxy S25 or iPad models.
