Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between a USB hub and a USB-C hub?

Standard USB hubs use USB-A ports and rely on your device's power, while USB-C hubs use USB-C ports and may come with a Power Supply Unit (PSU) for charging your device and peripherals simultaneously.

Can I charge my laptop through a USB-C hub?

Yes, you can potentially charge your laptop through a USB-C hub, but there are two key things to consider:

1. USB-C Power Delivery (PD): The hub itself needs to support USB-C PD, which allows for power delivery in addition to data transfer. Not all USB-C hubs have PD functionality.
2. Wattage requirements: Ensure the hub's PD wattage rating matches or exceeds your laptop's charging requirements. If the wattage is too low, it might not charge your laptop efficiently or at all.

Why do USB hubs get hot?

USB hubs can get warm for a couple of reasons:

1. Power Delivery: Many hubs rely on the USB port's power to function and power connected devices. This power draw can cause the hub to feel warm, especially if multiple devices are plugged in.
2. Active Components: Some hubs, particularly those with features like extra high-speed ports or card readers, might contain internal chips that generate heat during operation.

Generally, mild warmth is normal. However, excessive heat is a concern. If your hub feels very hot, unplug it and consult the manufacturer's instructions. It's best to avoid stacking devices on the hub or blocking its ventilation.
