Frequently Asked Questions - U460T042A2C2 Tripp Lite

Which devices are compatible with this Tripp Lite hub?

This hub is compatible with any device that has a USB-C port supporting host mode (laptops, tablets, smartphones). It works with Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, Linux, and Android. Standard USB-A and USB-C peripherals (flash drives, mice, hard drives) are supported.

How do I charge a laptop through this hub?

Plug your computer's USB-C charger (up to 100W, PD 3.0) into the hub's marked 'PD' port. The hub delivers power to the host computer through the built-in cable. Make sure the charger provides at least the power required by your laptop.

What is the difference between the U460-T04-2A2C-1 and -2 models?

The only difference is the maximum data rate: model -1 supports up to 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1), while model -2 supports up to 10 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2). Other features (PD charging, number of ports) are identical.

Does this hub require an external power supply?

No, the hub is powered by the host computer's USB bus. It is designed to be plug-and-play without external power. However, if you connect power-hungry peripherals, it is recommended to use the PD port to charge the host.

Can I use the PD port for anything other than charging?

The PD port is specifically designed to receive a USB-C charger (power input). It does not support data transfer. Use the other USB-C ports for data.

Which cables are recommended for optimal use?

Use quality USB-C cables that comply with USB 3.2 Gen 2 to enjoy the highest speeds. Tripp Lite offers suitable cables (models U420, U422, U426). For PD charging, use a USB-C cable certified for 100W.

Does this hub support external monitors?

No, this hub does not have a video output (HDMI, DisplayPort). It is only intended for data transfer and charging. For video output, choose a hub with DisplayPort Alt Mode capability.

What should I do if a device is not recognized?

Check that the device is compatible and its driver is up to date. Try connecting the device directly to the computer to test. Restart the computer or reset the hub by unplugging/plugging it back. Ensure the total power of devices does not exceed 1.5A.

Is this hub backward compatible with USB 2.0?

Yes, it is backward compatible with previous USB generations (USB 2.0 and 1.x). USB 2.0 devices will operate at their native speed.

What is the warranty on this Tripp Lite hub?

Tripp Lite offers a 3-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. To make a claim, contact technical support and obtain an RMA number before returning the product.
