Operating Instructions
Data Transfer
- For high-speed data transfer, use the USB-C 3.2 Data Port or the two USB-A 3.2 Data Ports, which support speeds up to 10Gbps. These are suitable for transferring large files, such as HD photos and videos.
- The four USB-A 3.0 Data Ports support data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps and are suitable for connecting standard USB peripherals like keyboards, mice, flash drives, and card readers.
- Note: Avoid connecting multiple SSD drives simultaneously to prevent potential performance issues.

Device Charging
- The two USB-C PD 45W Charging Ports are dedicated for fast charging compatible devices such as iPhone 16 series, iPad, and other Type-C mobile devices. Each port can deliver up to 45W when used individually, or up to 22.5W per port when both are used simultaneously.
- Ensure the 65W power adapter is connected to the hub for charging functionality.
- Note: These PD ports do not support data transfer and are not recommended for charging computers or other high-power appliances that require more than 45W.
