How to use

Connect the hub's USB Type-C plug to a compatible USB-C host port on your laptop or desktop. Once connected, the four USB Type-A ports become available for peripherals such as external drives, keyboards, mice and flash drives. The hub draws power from the host device, so no separate power supply is needed for typical low-power USB accessories. For optimal performance, connect high-speed devices directly to the hub and ensure the host port supports USB 3.x transfer rates.

Recommendations

To maintain high transfer speeds, use USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 compatible cables and devices and avoid daisy-chaining multiple hubs. If you connect power-hungry devices (external hard drives or multiple powered peripherals), consider using a self-powered hub or an externally powered solution to ensure stable operation.
