Operating Instructions

Using the USB4 DisplayPort (4K@60Hz Video Output)

The USB4 DisplayPort allows you to extend or mirror your laptop's display to an external monitor or projector. This port supports resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz.

• Connect a compatible display cable (e.g., USB-C to DisplayPort) from your monitor to the USB4 DisplayPort on the hub.
• Ensure your laptop's USB-C port supports video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) or is a Thunderbolt 3/4/USB4 port.
• Adjust display settings on your operating system (Windows/macOS) to configure extended or mirrored display modes.

Using the USB-C 3.1 Data Ports (10Gbps)

The three USB-C 3.1 ports are designed for high-speed data transfer, offering speeds up to 10Gbps. These ports are suitable for connecting external storage devices, peripherals, or other USB-C accessories.

• Plug your USB-C data devices directly into any of the three USB-C 3.1 ports.
• These ports are for data transfer only and do not support video output or charging for your host device.

Using the 100W Power Delivery (PD) Port

The dedicated PD port allows you to charge your host laptop or device while using the hub. It supports up to 100W input and provides up to 85W output for charging your device.

• Connect your laptop's original USB-C power adapter to this port.
• This port is for power input to the hub and power delivery to the host device only. It does not support data transfer.

Compatibility

The MOKiN 5-in-1 USB C Hub is broadly compatible with a range of devices and operating systems:

• Compatible Devices: MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and other devices equipped with fully functional USB-C, Thunderbolt 3/4, or USB4 ports.
• Operating Systems: macOS, Windows, Linux, Android.
• Important Note for MacBook Air: MacBook Air models (M1/M2/M3) are limited to supporting only one external display.

Maintenance and Care

• Keep the hub in a dry environment and avoid exposure to liquids.
• Do not expose the hub to extreme temperatures.
• Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Disconnect the hub from your device when not in use for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

No video output to external monitor:

• Ensure your laptop's USB-C port supports video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) or is a Thunderbolt 3/4/USB4 port.
• Verify the external monitor is powered on and set to the correct input source.
• Check the display cable for damage and ensure it is securely connected.
• For MacBook Air (M1/M2/M3) models, confirm you are only attempting to connect one external display.

Laptop not charging via the hub:

• Ensure your power adapter is connected to the dedicated 100W PD port on the hub, not a data-only USB-C port.
• Verify your power adapter is functioning correctly and provides sufficient wattage for your laptop.
• Check all power connections for security.

Slow data transfer speeds:

• Ensure the connected device (e.g., external drive) supports USB 3.1 (10Gbps) speeds. Older USB 2.0 or 3.0 devices will operate at their respective maximum speeds.
• Avoid connecting multiple high-bandwidth devices simultaneously if you experience performance degradation.

Hub feels warm during use:

• It is normal for the hub to generate some heat during operation, especially when multiple ports are in use or when charging.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the hub. If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect it and allow it to cool down.
