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.
