How to use

Connect the hub to a computer's USB Type-C port using the integrated Type-C connector. Once connected, the operating system should recognise the hub and make the four USB Type-A ports available for use. Plug USB peripherals such as flash drives, external hard drives, keyboards or mice into the Type-A ports. For Gigabit Ethernet functionality, connect an Ethernet cable to the hub's Ethernet port if present and follow any OS prompts to install drivers if required.

Recommendations

To ensure optimal performance, connect high-bandwidth devices (for example external SSDs) one at a time when transferring large files, and avoid using multiple power-hungry devices simultaneously since the hub is bus-powered. Keep the hub on a stable surface and ensure adequate ventilation around the aluminium housing.
