If you need to charge the host device, connect a USB-C PD charger to the hub's USB-C power input and ensure the charger supports up to 100W. Attach external displays to the HDMI or VGA ports; note that simultaneous use of both outputs limits each to 1080p@60Hz. Insert SD or MicroSD cards into the card reader and plug USB drives into the USB-A ports for data access. Connect a network cable to the RJ45 port for wired internet connection and a headset or speakers to the 3.5 mm jack for audio output.

Recommendations

For stable high-resolution video output, use a Quality HDMI cable and a display that supports the stated resolutions. When using PD charging, verify your power adapter supports the required 20V/5A output. Avoid excessive bending of the hub cable and keep the aluminium body ventilated during extended use.
