Note: Device compatibility is also dependent on the capabilities of the device's USB Type C port. Ensure your device supports the desired features (e.g., DisplayPort Alt Mode for video output, USB Power Delivery for charging).

7. Troubleshooting

• No Video Output:
  • Ensure both devices support DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB Type C.
  • Verify the display input is set to the correct USB Type C port.
  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable at both ends.
  • Test with a different display or source device if possible.
• Slow Data Transfer:
  • Confirm both connected devices support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps). If one device supports a lower standard (e.g., USB 2.0), the transfer speed will be limited to the lowest common denominator.
  • Ensure no other high-bandwidth operations are running simultaneously.
• No Charging/Slow Charging:
  • Verify that the power adapter and device support USB Power Delivery and the required wattage (up to 60W for this cable).
  • Check if the device's USB Type C port supports power input.
  • Ensure the cable is fully inserted.
• Intermittent Connection:
  • Inspect the cable and connectors for any visible damage.
  • Ensure the ports on your devices are clean and free of dust or debris.
  • Avoid placing the cable under tension or sharp bends.
