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 for HB30C3APD refers to the 5Gbps
USB 3.1 Gen 1 standard.
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.
The hub supports USB Power Delivery 2.0, delivering up to 60 watts
of power through the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your laptop.
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, check to 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 the hub's USB-C port
The hub's USB-C female port only supports USB Power Delivery 2.0.
