Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your MOKiN 13-in-1 USB C Hub:

1. Connect to Host Device: Plug the integrated USB-C cable from the hub into a full-function USB-C port on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Ensure your device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode), Thunderbolt 3/4/5, or USB4 for full functionality, especially for video output.

2. Connect Power (Optional but Recommended): For stable operation and to charge your host device, connect a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) compatible charger (up to 100W) to the hub's USB-C PD 3.0 port. Note that the hub reserves 15-18W for its own operation.

3. Connect External Displays: Use standard HDMI or DisplayPort cables to connect your monitors to the corresponding ports on the hub. Avoid using adapter cables (e.g., USB-C to HDMI/DP adapters) as they may cause display issues.

4. Connect Network: For a stable wired internet connection, plug an Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port on the hub.

   

   The hub provides up to 1000Mbps Ethernet, 3.5mm audio/mic jack, and SD/Micro SD card slots.

5. Connect USB Peripherals: Plug your USB devices (e.g., external hard drives, flash drives, keyboards, mice) into the available USB-C 3.1, USB-A 3.1, or USB-A 2.0 ports.

   

   The hub features three high-speed data ports for various USB devices.

6. Insert SD/Micro SD Cards: If needed, insert your SD or Micro SD cards into the dedicated slots.

7. Connect Audio Devices: Plug your headphones or speakers into the 3.5mm Audio/Mic jack.

Operating Instructions

Display Modes

The hub supports various display configurations depending on your operating system and host device capabilities.

For Windows with DP1.4:

Windows systems with DP1.4 support multiple independent displays (MST - Multi-Stream Transport).

• Triple Display (A-BCD): Your laptop screen (A) and three external monitors (B, C, D) can display different content.
• Dual Display (A-BB, A-BC, A-BD): Various combinations of mirroring and extending are possible.

Example of a triple display setup (A-BCD) for Windows systems with DP1.4.

For macOS with DP1.4:

NOTE: macOS does not support MST (Multi-Stream Transport). This means that all external monitors connected to the hub will display identical content, regardless of whether they are in mirror or extended mode.

• Triple Display (A-BBB): Your laptop screen (A) will be extended, and all three external monitors (B, B, B) will mirror each other.
• Dual Display (A-BB, A-BD): Your laptop screen (A) will be extended, and the external monitors will mirror each other.

Data Transfer

Utilize the USB-C 3.1 and USB-A 3.1 ports for high-speed data transfer up to 10Gbps. The USB-A 2.0 ports are suitable for connecting standard peripherals.

Network Connectivity

The RJ45 Ethernet port provides a stable Gigabit (1000Mbps) wired network connection, ideal for reliable internet access.

Audio Functionality

The 3.5mm Audio/Mic jack allows you to connect headphones or speakers for audio output and a microphone for input.

Card Reader Functionality

Insert SD or Micro SD cards into the respective slots to read and write data. The card reader supports read speeds of 20-40MB/s and write speeds of 10-30MB/s.

Maintenance

• Keep the hub away from water, fire, and corrosive substances.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the hub to strong impacts.
• Clean the hub with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Store the hub in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

No display or flickering/distorted images on external monitors:

• Ensure your host device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode), Thunderbolt 3/4/5, or USB4. Not all USB-C ports support video output.
• Use standard HDMI or DisplayPort cables. Avoid adapter cables (e.g., USB-C to HDMI/DP adapters) as they can cause compatibility issues.
• Check your host device's display settings to ensure the external monitors are detected and configured correctly (resolution, refresh rate).
• Due to limited bandwidth, refresh rates may vary when connecting multiple external displays. Try reducing the resolution or refresh rate of one or more monitors.
• If using macOS, remember that external monitors will mirror each other (A-BBB mode) due to lack of MST support.
• Try testing with your laptop lid closed, as some laptops may have different display behavior.
• Ensure the hub is receiving sufficient power, especially when connecting multiple power-hungry devices or displays. Connect a 100W PD charger to the hub.

Peripherals not working or disconnecting:

• Ensure the hub is connected securely to your host device.
• Verify that the peripherals are properly connected to the hub's ports.
• If using high-power peripherals, ensure the hub is connected to a power source via its PD port.
• Try connecting the peripheral directly to your host device to rule out a device issue.

Slow data transfer speeds:

• Ensure you are using the USB 3.1 ports (10Gbps) for high-speed devices. USB 2.0 ports offer lower speeds (480Mbps).
• The actual speed may depend on the connected device and the host system's capabilities.

Specifications

User Tips

• For optimal performance, especially with multiple displays and high-speed data transfer, ensure your host device's USB-C port is fully functional (supports DP Alt Mode/Thunderbolt) and connect a 100W Power Delivery charger to the hub.
• Test all ports under full load to confirm proper functionality and stability.
