Providing reliable performance is another key feature of this USB-C multiport adapter. It can be powered either through the USB bus or via an external USB-C power adapter. With support for up to 100W of Power Delivery 3.0 pass-through, the adapter retains 15W to itself to mitigate common issues like video flickering, device dropouts, or power overdrawing that can occur with other hubs. This leaves up to 85W available for charging your laptop, ensuring your devices stay powered during use.

The wide compatibility of this USB-C mini dock makes it an excellent choice for various devices. It's designed to work seamlessly with USB-C laptops, ultrabooks, and Chromebooks.
