How to use

Connect the hub's USB-C male plug to a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your laptop, computer or phone.

Attach USB peripherals, memory cards or an HDMI display; the hub supports hot-plugging so devices can be connected or disconnected while the host is running. For card-to-card copying insert SD and microSD cards into their respective slots; the reader appears as two separate drives in the file manager.

Recommendations

For video output, use a host device with DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt 3 and an up-to-date OS. To maximize transfer speeds and charging, connect to a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port on the host and avoid overloading all ports simultaneously. Handle and store SD/microSD cards according to manufacturer guidelines.
