FAQ

What do I need to know before using this docking?
Please confirm the USB-C port on your device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode). Some USB-C ports only work for charging or data transfer, no video  output function.
What is DP Alt Mode?
At its most basic level, DP Alt Mode means that device manufacturers would no longer need to put dedicated display ports (whether DisplayPort, VGA, or HDMI) on their  devices, and could instead fill out their devices entirely with USB port for all digital 1/0.
I can only get 4K@30Hz from HDMI output.
Please check your laptop if DP1.4 is supported by laptop GPU, 4K@60Hz is supported by laptop GPU with DP1.4.
How to check if my laptop GPU is DP1.2 or DP1.4?
Please check laptop manufacture website for detail of the CPU and USB-C port features, Intel Core Mobile Processors 8th-10th Gen is DP1.2, Intel Core Mobile Processors  11th Gen or later will support DP1.4 over USB-C.
Connectivity issue or warning “USB Devices Disabled” on MacBook When the docking connected to your Mac needs more power to work, the computer will start the self- protection function. Please restart your laptop and connect the PD port before plugin any other port. If connectivity issues are persistent, resetting SMC (System  Management Controller) and PRAM/NVRAM could be a solution. This is sometimes necessary to restore normal lower level system functionality to your Mac, especially  with power and hardware related issues. For resetting your SMC or PRAM/NVRAM, please refer to Apple website for detailed instructions depending on whether your  model has T2 chip or not.
Does the USB-C female port on this hub support data transfer?
No, the USB-C female port is only for Power Delivery.
Can use 2 card reader slots at the same time?
No, only one SD or MicroSD card can be accessed at a time.
Is it normal for the docking to get hot?
Yes, it is normal for the docking to heat up during usage, even when the hub is not in use it could still warm up, this is also normal. Higher data transfer rate, video output  and PD charging contribute to higher operating temperatures.
My laptop has DP Alt Mode, but still no display from HDMI port?
