About USB-C
Not all USB-C ports support the full functionality of the USB Type-C standard. Some
ports might only provide data transfers, and might not support video. For this adapter
to operate properly, check to ensure that your host laptop supports DP alt mode.
Thunderbolt™ 3 technology also uses the USB-C connector, so you can connect the
adapter to a Thunderbolt 3 port. The adapter will connect to the Thunderbolt 3 port at
the USB speed of 5Gbps.
About DP alt mode (DisplayPort alternative mode)
DP alt mode is a specication that allows a video signal to transfer over USB-C.
About the adapter’s USB-C port
When the built-in USB-C host cable is connected to a computer it supports data
throughput (up to 5Gbps), as well as DP alt mode (video over USB-C).
However, the adapter’s USB 3.0 Type-C port (female) only supports USB downstream
data and does not support video out or power delivery.
