Connect the hub's integrated USB-C cable to a compatible USB-C port on your laptop. Attach displays via HDMI or DisplayPort and plug in USB peripherals, memory cards or an Ethernet cable as needed. If your laptop supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and the stated DP version, configure display settings in the operating system to enable single or dual monitor output. Use the high-speed USB ports for fast external drives and the card slots for SD/microSD media access.

Recommendations

For optimal video performance, ensure the host laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and the DP version indicated (DP 1.4 for 4K@60Hz). Use the 10 Gbps ports for NVMe or high-speed SSDs and maintain a stable Ethernet connection by using a quality RJ-45 cable. Avoid overloading the hub with high-power devices if the host cannot provide sufficient USB-C power delivery.
