FAQs

Does this adapter require external drivers?

No, this is a plug-and-play device that utilizes standard drivers built into modern operating systems.

Can I use this with my iPad?

Yes, it is compatible with iPadOS devices that feature a USB-C port.

What is the function of the shared USB-C data/power port?

It serves as a power pass-through for charging your laptop, or as a USB 2.0 data port for peripherals if no power source is connected.

Is it compatible with Thunderbolt 4?

Yes, it is fully compatible with both Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 host ports.

Does the Gigabit Ethernet port support PXE boot?

Troubleshooting

External monitor is not displaying at 4K 60Hz

Ensure your host laptop supports DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode. Some older devices may only support DP 1.2, which limits the output to 4K 30Hz.

Laptop is not charging

Verify that your power adapter is USB-C PD 3.0 compliant and that the cable is securely connected to the pass-through port on the adapter.

USB devices disconnected when power source is unplugged

This is normal behavior due to the Fast Role Swap (FRS) feature; the device momentarily resets to ensure power stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply plug the USB-C connector into your host device. For optimal performance, ensure your laptop supports DP 1.4 Alt Mode to achieve 4K 60Hz resolution. When using it for power delivery, ensure you connect a USB-C PD-compatible power adapter to the pass-through port. To maintain the device, keep the ports free of debris by using compressed air if necessary. While the unit is designed for portability, avoid sharp bends in the integrated cable when storing it to prevent long-term wear.
