Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this adapter?
The adapter supports USB4 speeds of up to 40Gbps. However, actual speeds depend on the capabilities of your connected devices and the USB-C cable used.
Is this adapter compatible with Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 devices?
Yes, USB4 is based on Thunderbolt 3 specifications, so this adapter is generally compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 devices, allowing for high-speed data transfer and display output where supported.
Do I need any special drivers for this adapter?
No, this adapter is plug-and-play and does not require any special drivers. It relies on the native USB4 support in your operating system.
Can this adapter charge my laptop?
The adapter itself does not provide power. It supports USB Power Delivery (PD) passthrough, meaning if your host device, the connected peripheral, and the USB-C cable all support PD, charging capabilities will be maintained through the adapter.
What does the '90/270 socket configuration' mean?
This refers to the flexibility in how the female USB-C port can be oriented. It allows the connected cable to exit the adapter at either a 90-degree angle or a 270-degree angle (effectively the same direction), offering choices for cable routing in tight spaces.
Will this adapter work with my older USB 3.0 devices?
Yes, the adapter is backward compatible with USB 3.1, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0 devices. However, the data transfer speed will be limited to the standard supported by the older device.
Troubleshooting
No connection or device not recognized
Ensure all connections are secure. Try a different USB-C cable and port on your host device. Verify that your connected device is compatible and powered on.
Slow data transfer speeds
Confirm that both your host device, peripheral device, and the USB-C cable support USB4 40Gbps speeds. If not, speeds will default to the lowest supported standard (e.g., USB 3.0 at 5Gbps).
Video output issues (if using DisplayPort Alternate Mode)
Ensure your host device, the adapter, the cable, and the display all support DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C. Check display settings on your host device.
Adapter feels loose in the port
Gently ensure the male connector is fully seated in the host's USB-C port. If persistent, there might be an issue with the host port or the adapter's connector.
