FAQ
What video resolutions does this USB-C adapter support?
The adapter supports 4K resolution at 3840 x 2160 pixels with a 30Hz refresh rate through its HDMI output. It also supports ultra-wide resolutions up to 3440 x 1440 pixels at 60Hz, making it compatible with modern ultra-wide monitors for productivity and multimedia applications.
How does the 100W Power Delivery work with this adapter?
The adapter implements Power Delivery 3.0 with intelligent power management. It reserves 12W for the adapter's own operation to ensure stable video output and prevent peripheral disconnections. The remaining power (up to 88W) is available for charging connected laptops, providing sufficient power for most modern ultrabooks and laptops while maintaining reliable hub performance.
Which devices are compatible with this multiport adapter?
The adapter is compatible with USB-C laptops, ultrabooks, and Chromebooks, including Thunderbolt 3 devices from major manufacturers like HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Microsoft Surface. It works with Apple MacBooks (both Intel and M1 chip models), iPad Pro tablets, and supports Windows 8/10/11, macOS from High Sierra onward, ChromeOS, iPadOS, and Android operating systems.
Can I use the SD and MicroSD card readers simultaneously?
Yes, the adapter features independent SD and MicroSD card readers that can be used simultaneously. This allows professionals working with photography or video to access content from multiple memory cards at once, streamlining workflows that involve transferring files between different card formats without needing separate card readers.
What is the purpose of the 12-inch attached cable?
The 12-inch (30cm) attached cable provides extended reach that reduces mechanical strain on your device's USB-C port, particularly important for 2-in-1 devices like Microsoft Surface Pro or iPad Pro tablets. The extra length accommodates devices on riser stands or in docking stations, allowing for more flexible workspace arrangements while protecting your primary device from port damage due to constant connector stress.
Does this adapter require external power to function?
The adapter can operate in two modes: bus-powered from the host device for basic functionality, or with an external USB-C power adapter for full power delivery capabilities. When used without external power, it will function as a data hub and video adapter. For full 100W Power Delivery to charge connected laptops, an external power adapter (not included) must be connected to the USB-C power input port.
