How to use

Connect the hub's USB Type‑C plug to a compatible Type‑C host port on a laptop, tablet or other device. After connection, plug USB Type‑A peripherals or external storage devices into any of the three Type‑A ports. The hub uses the host device's power for connected peripherals; no external power supply is required for typical USB accessories. For optimal transfer speeds, connect devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 and ensure the host port also supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer.

Recommendations

To maintain performance, avoid connecting multiple high-power-draw devices simultaneously. For prolonged transfers with external drives, place the hub on a stable, cool surface and ensure the host device remains powered and awake. If a device is not recognised, disconnect and reconnect the hub or the peripheral, and check host system USB settings.
