FAQs
Does this adapter support 60Hz 4K video?
No, the HDMI output on this device is limited to a maximum refresh rate of 30Hz at 4K resolution.
Can I use this with an Apple MacBook?
Yes, as long as your MacBook features a USB-C port that supports data and video output.
Do I need to install any drivers to use it?
No, this is a plug-and-play device and does not require manual driver installation on modern operating systems.
Will the USB 2.0 ports work for data storage?
Yes, but they will operate at the slower USB 2.0 data transfer speeds, which is suitable for mice and keyboards but slower for large file transfers.
Is the cable detachable?
No, the 12cm USB-C cable is permanently integrated into the hub housing.
Troubleshooting
Monitor not displaying video
Ensure your host laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and that the HDMI cable is firmly connected.
Laptop not charging while plugged in
Verify that you are using a power adapter compatible with USB-C PD and that it is connected specifically to the charging-enabled port on the hub.
USB devices not responding
Disconnect the hub from your laptop, wait five seconds, and reconnect it to refresh the data connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the adapter, simply plug the integrated USB-C cable into your host device's USB-C port. The device uses USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode, so ensure your laptop's port supports video output. For optimal performance, always connect the original laptop power supply to the adapter's USB-C PD port if you require charging. To maintain the device, keep the cable coiled loosely to prevent internal wire damage, and store the adapter in a protective sleeve when not in use. Clean the ports periodically with compressed air if you notice loose connections, and avoid exposing the housing to liquids or extreme heat.
