How to use

Connect the hub to a host device using the built‑in USB Type‑C plug. After connection the host should recognise the hub and the connected USB devices automatically; install drivers only if the operating system requests them. Plug USB peripherals such as flash drives, card readers or external enclosures into the Type‑A ports. Do not overload the hub with devices that require more power than the host’s USB port can supply; use externally powered devices or a powered hub if necessary.

Recommendations

For stable operation with multiple or high‑power devices, connect storage devices sequentially and avoid using power-hungry devices simultaneously without external power. Keep the metal housing clean and avoid exposing the hub to moisture or extreme temperatures.
