Recommendations

For best results, use the adapter with USB 3.2 Gen 2–capable cables and ports to achieve the advertised up to 10 Gbps transfer speeds.

Avoid excessive bending or pulling of connected cables and store the adapters in a protective pouch when not in use to reduce wear on the aluminium housing and connectors.
