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

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