Hooking Everything Up
You can use the Multi-Port Hub in either powered or unpowered mode. When
powered by your USB-C charger (ie. Macbook power supply), the USB ports
support USB-powered devices like hard drives and charging your computer. When
no power supply is plugged in, the USB ports only work with USB low power
devices like flash drives, dongles, keyboards, mice, etc. and the computer is
not charging.
Powered Mode:
Plug the Host-Link cable (1) from the Multi-Port Hub into the USB-C port on
your computer. Plug the USB-C cable that is used to charge your computer into
the USB-C Power Input port (4). With USB-C, the up and down orientation of the
cable does not matter.
The full range of USB accessories can be used when in powered mode including
USB-powered hard drives.
Warning: Do not unplug the external power supply during use! Doing so
will result in a short interruption of power to all devices connected to the
Multi-Port Hub. This could lead to loss of unsaved data or damage to the hard
drive.
Unpowered Mode:
This mode is useful when traveling or giving presentations. Plug the Host-Link
cable (1) from the Multi-Port Hub into the USB-C port on your computer. Other
than limitations on the USB port, the card reader, Ethernet port, and HDMI
output operate the same in either mode.
USB 3.0 Ports:
USB low-powered devices work in both powered and unpowered modes. USB-powered
devices only work in powered mode.
Card Readers:
Both SD and MicroSD card readers operate in both powered and unpowered modes.
Gigabit Ethernet Port:
The ethernet port automatically detects network speed and operates in
10/100/1000 modes. The Ethernet port works in both powered and unpowered
modes.
HDMI Video Output:
Depending on your operating system the HDMI Video Output port supports
resolutions up to 4K video (HDMI 1.4) in both powered and unpowered modes.
