Product Information
Full details
This Belkin Connect 5-Port USB-C Hub is designed for users who need to expand their laptop's connectivity, offering a key benefit of creating a mini-workstation by adding display, storage, and peripheral support through a single USB-C port. A potential caveat to consider is its reliance on the laptop's USB-C port for power, which might limit simultaneous high-power device usage. This hub provides a 4K HDMI port, SD and microSD card readers, and two USB-A ports, all with a 5Gbps data transfer rate.

Troubleshooting
External display not detected
Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the hub and the display. Verify that the display is set to the correct input source. Confirm your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Try a different HDMI cable or display.
USB devices not recognized
