Troubleshooting
- No Video Output:
- Ensure your host device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode).
- Verify the USB-C to USB-C video cable is functioning correctly and is connected to the correct port on the hub and monitor.
- Check display settings on your host device to ensure the external monitor is detected and configured correctly (e.g., extended or mirrored).
- Slow Data Transfer Speeds:
- Ensure both the host device and the connected peripheral support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps).
- Note that the 10Gbps data bandwidth is shared across all four USB-C data ports. Simultaneous high-bandwidth transfers may reduce individual port speeds.
- Try connecting the peripheral directly to the host device to isolate if the issue is with the hub or the peripheral.
- Host Device Not Charging / Slow Charging:
- Ensure your power adapter is connected to the dedicated USB-C PD port on the hub.
- Verify your power adapter provides sufficient wattage (e.g., 60W or 100W) for your host device and the hub's pass-through charging capabilities.
- The hub provides up to 80W output to the host device. If your device requires more, it may charge slower or not at all.
- Hub Not Recognized:
- Ensure the integrated USB-C host cable is fully inserted into your device's USB-C/Thunderbolt port.
- Try connecting the hub to a different USB-C/Thunderbolt port on your device.
- Restart your host device.
Care and Maintenance
- Keep the hub away from liquids, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight.
- Clean the hub with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
