Powering the Multiport Adapter
USB Power Delivery 3.0
Fast Role Swap:
A Fast Role Swap function is available when using Power Delivery 3.0. This
function prevents USB data disruption when switching power sources (bus
power to USB-C power adapter or USB-C power adapter to bus power). For this
function to work, the Host Computer must also support Power Delivery 3.0.
Bus Power:
The Multiport Adapter is powered by the Host Computer’s USB-C port and does
not require a separate power adapter.
1. Connect the USB-C Host Connector on the Multiport Adapter to a USB-C
port on the Host Computer.
2. Depending on the Host Computer’s operating system, the Multiport
Adapter will automatically detect and install the required driver.
USB Power Delivery 2.0
If the Host Computer’s USB-C Port only supports USB Power Delivery 2.0, it will
still support Power Delivery pass-through, but it will not support Fast Role Swap.
If your Host Computer’s USB-C port does not support Power Delivery, then it will
not support Power Delivery pass-through.
Connecting the USB-C Power Adapter
The Multiport Adapter is powered using the Host Computer’s USB-C power
adapter.
The Multiport Adapter requires 12 W of Power Delivery to power the adapter
and its connected devices.
1. Connect the Multiport Adapter’s USB-C Connector to a USB-C port on the
Host Computer.
2. Connect the USB-C connector on the Host Computer’s power adapter to the
USB-C port on the Multiport Adapter.

through to the Host Computer.
4. Depending on the Host Computer’s operating system, the Multiport
Adapter will automatically detect and install the required driver.
Disconnecting the USB-C Power Adapter
Warning (if the Host only supports Power Delivery 2.0): Before disconnect-
ing a USB-C power adapter from the Multiport Adapter, ensure all data
transfers are complete. If you disconnect the power adapter while transfer-

may corrupt any les that you were attempting to transfer.
1. Complete all data transfers.
2. Disconnect the Multiport Adapter’s USB-C Connector from the Host
Computer.
3. Disconnect the USB-C Power Adapter from the Multiport Adapter.
