How to use

Connect the Pro Hub to one of the MacBook Pro's USB-C ports. For pass-through charging, connect your MacBook charger to the hub's primary USB-C (PD) port. Plug an HDMI cable from the hub to an external monitor for video output; ensure a direct HDMI-to-HDMI connection. Insert SD or MicroSD cards into the appropriate slots to access files, and connect USB-A or USB-C peripherals to the available ports for data transfer. The hub operates as plug-and-play with supported MacBook Pro models.

Recommendations

Use the primary USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 port for power delivery and high-bandwidth devices (display or high-speed storage) and the secondary Type-C port for standard data peripherals. Do not expect USB-A ports to provide charging for certain tablets. For optimal video performance, use a direct HDMI cable between the hub and the external display.
