This lightweight USB-C Hub can operate with bus-power. Alternatively, connect a USB-C power adapter (not included) to the designated USB-C PD port for laptop charging.

Charge Laptop and Connected Peripherals

Support for USB PD enables charging of the host laptop and up to three USB peripherals by connecting a USB-C power source to the PD pass-through port. PD 3.0 features Fast Role Swap (FRS) to prevent USB data disruption when you switch power sources (USB-C power adapter to bus power). This allows you to charge the connected host device, as well as any devices connected to the three remaining USB-C ports.

With a USB-C power adapter connected, 15W will be reserved for the hub, with up to 85W available to power/charge the host computer and downstream devices (up to 7.5W per port).
