2. Connecting Cables

The YUTOO S500 supports a single-cable connection for both display and power. Identify the appropriate port on your laptop:

• USB-C (Full-Function): If your laptop has a full-function USB-C port (supporting display output and power delivery), use the provided USB-C to USB-C cable. Connect one end to the extender and the other to your laptop's USB-C port.
• USB-A: If your laptop does not have a full-function USB-C port, use the provided USB-A to USB-C cable. This may require two USB-A ports on your laptop for full functionality (one for display, one for power).
