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
oers 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 Power Delivery 2.0
• USB Power Delivery 2.0 is a specication that allows power (up to
100 watts) to be sent over a USB-C or Thunderbolt™ 3 cable that
supports the specication.
• 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 conguration if
a power adapter is connected to the multifunction adapter, it will
not pass power through to your host 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,
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 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.
