Compatibility Guide
Works with any USB-C laptop, tablet, or smartphone that supports USB-C (including Thunderbolt 3/4 and USB4 ports). HDMI output requires a host with DisplayPort Alt Mode support. For pass-through charging, use a USB PD charger rated for your device.

Things to Note
Performance depends on your host device's USB-C capabilities. If your laptop only supports USB 3.0 (5Gbps), the hub's USB-A ports will be limited to that speed. Pass-through charging output may vary; check your device's charging specifications.
