5.3 Power Delivery
The USB-C PD port supports up to 100W power input. When a 100W PD charger is connected, approximately 87W is delivered to the connected laptop, with the remaining 13W used to power the hub itself. This ensures your laptop remains charged while using multiple peripherals.
6. Precautions
- Before use, ensure your device's USB-C port supports audio and video output, data transfer, and PD power delivery functions.
- Connecting the HUB to a laptop via a USB-A to USB-C adapter may result in incomplete functionality of some HUB ports.
- Using a USB-C extension cable with the HUB is not recommended as it may affect signal transmission.
- The USB-C PD port supports only power input for charging the host device.
- The USB-C data transfer port only supports connecting USB-C storage devices for data transfer.
- When connecting the HUB to a Nintendo Switch, use the power adapter that comes with the Switch or a power adapter with 45W or higher.
- Do not expose the device to humid or high-temperature environments for extended periods to avoid damage.
- When connecting multiple high-power devices simultaneously, ensure the use of a power adapter with sufficient wattage.
- To prolong the device lifespan, avoid frequently plugging and unplugging cables.
7. Troubleshooting
- Q: Why doesn't the HDMI monitor display anything?
- A: When connecting an HDMI monitor via a USB-C HUB, the USB-C port on the laptop must support audio and video output. Please check if your laptop's USB-C port has this capability.
- Q: Why can't MacBook achieve triple-screen extended display when connected to multiple HDMI monitors?
- A: Due to macOS not supporting MST (Multi-Stream Transport) technology, when multiple monitors are connected, only mirroring (AAA) display or mirroring the same extended screen (ABB) display is possible. Triple-screen extended mode is not supported.
8. User Tips
