Frequently Asked Questions:

1. When I connect to 2 monitors, why do both monitors show the same image?

When connected to dual monitors, devices running macOS only support screen mirroring. Windows supports both Single-Stream Transport (SST) and Multi-Stream Transport (MST) mode. macOS and iPadOS only support Single-Stream Transport (SST) mode.

2. How can this hub achieve 85W Power Delivery charging?

To get 85W charging, use a USB-C wall charger and a USB-C to C cable that both support 100W PD charging.

3. Does the USB-C Power Delivery port support charging for tablets (including iPad Pro) or phones?

Due to the power input limitations of mobile devices, this hub can not provide pass-through charging to tablets (including iPad Pro) or phones when using the original wall charger that came with your mobile device. To support full-speed charging for iPad Pro, use an adapter that supports at least 15V (45W).

4. Why can’t my HDMI resolution reach 4K@60Hz?

The HDMI port supports a variety of resolutions up to 4K@60Hz, including 1080p, 1080i, 720p, and 480p.

1) Single monitor: 4K@60Hz if your device supports DP 1.4; 4K@30Hz if your device supports DP 1.2

2) Dual monitor: 4K@30Hz if your device supports DP 1.4; 1080p@60Hz
