Frequently asked questions
Does it work with iPad Pro?
Yes. The USB-C iPad Pro and iPad Air support all four ports including HDMI output to an external display.
Is it macOS-only or also Windows?
Works with any USB-C device that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, including Windows laptops, Chromebooks, and Linux machines.
Does it overheat under load?
Aluminum body acts as a passive heatsink. Even under simultaneous charging and 4K output it stays warm but not hot.
What does 100W passthrough mean?
Whatever charger you plug into the upstream USB-C port, up to 100W, gets passed through to your laptop. You can run a 16-inch MacBook Pro from a 100W charger through this hub.
