How to use

Connect the integrated 30 cm USB-C cable to a compatible host device that supports USB-C, USB4 or Thunderbolt with DisplayPort Alternate Mode if you need external video. If you require passthrough charging, attach a USB PD power adapter (up to 100W) to the hub’s PD input; the hub will provide up to 85W to the host while using approximately 15W for its own operation. Plug peripherals and storage devices into the available USB-C ports for data transfer; no drivers are required for basic functionality.

Recommendations

To achieve the advertised video resolutions and refresh rates, ensure the host device supports DisplayPort Alt Mode via its USB-C, USB4, or Thunderbolt port and use appropriate cables and a display that support the required resolution/refresh rate. For maximum passthrough charging, use a PD adapter rated at 100W.
