Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your RSHTECH USB C Hub, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Keep Clean: Gently wipe the hub with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or smudges. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Protect from Damage: The aluminum housing is durable, but avoid dropping the device or exposing it to excessive force.
- Optimal Environment: Use the hub in a dry environment and avoid extreme temperatures.
- Cable Care: Do not bend or twist the integrated USB-C cable excessively to prevent internal damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your RSHTECH USB C Hub, consider the following:
- Device Not Recognized: Ensure the hub's USB-C connector is fully inserted into your host device. Try connecting to a different USB-C port on your host device if available.
- Slow Data Transfer: While the hub supports 10Gbps, actual speeds depend on the connected devices and the host port. Connecting multiple high-speed devices simultaneously may distribute the available bandwidth, potentially reducing individual device speeds. Ensure your cables and connected devices also support USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds.
- Power Issues: This hub is for data transfer only and does not provide power delivery for charging. If a connected device requires external power, ensure it has its own power source. Some host devices may not provide enough power for multiple high-power peripherals through the hub (minimum 5V3A recommended for the host port).
- No Video Output: This hub does not support video output. If you require video display, please use a hub specifically designed for that purpose.
