Introduction
This USB 3.0 hub with built-in Gigabit Ethernet turns your laptop's
USB-C™ port into three USB-A ports and one GbE port. Unlike some
USB-C™ hubs that occupy your laptop's only USB-C port, this USB
hub features USB Power Delivery, enabling you to power and charge
your laptop while you're using the hub.

About USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1
USB 3.0 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1. This connectivity standard
offers speeds up to 5Gbps. Any mention of USB 3.0 in this manual
or on the StarTech.com website refers to the 5Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 1
standard.
About USB-C
• Not all USB-C ports support the full functionality of the USB
Type-C standard. Some ports might only provide data transfers,
and might not support USB Power Delivery 2.0.
• To power and charge your laptop through its USB-C host port,
ensure that your host laptop supports USB Power Delivery 2.0.
• If your laptop does not support USB Power Delivery, then the hub
will be powered by your laptop's host USB-C port.
• Thunderbolt 3 also uses the USB-C connector, so you can connect
the adapter to a Thunderbolt 3 port. The adapter will connect to
the Thunderbolt 3 port at the USB speed of 5Gbps.
About USB Power Delivery 2.0
• USB Power Delivery 2.0 is a specification that allows power (up to
100 watts) to be sent over a USB-C or Thunderbolt™ 3 cable that
supports the specification.
• This hub supports USB Power Delivery 2.0 and will deliver up to 60
watts of power through the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your
laptop.
• The adapter can connect to a host laptop's USB-C port that doesn't
support USB Power Delivery 2.0. However, in this configuration if
a power adapter is connected to the multifunction adapter, it will
not pass power through to your host laptop.
About the hub's USB Type-C charge port
• The hub's USB Type-C charge port only supports USB Power
Delivery 2.0.
• The USB Type-C charge port cannot be used for data or video
throughput.
• You can only connect a USB-C power adapter to the USB Type-C
charge port.
