Can I Use the USB-C Data Ports for Video Output?

No, the USB-C hub ports on the USBC-10IN1E are designed for 10Gbps data transfer only and do not support video output or DisplayPort Alt Mode. Monitors must be connected specifically to the dedicated HDMI port through an HDMI to HDMI cable.

How to Connect Your Monitor Correctly

The USB-C data ports are optimized for high-speed peripherals like SSDs and thumb drives. If you attempt to connect a USB-C monitor to these ports, it will not receive a signal; for video, it's recommended to use a certified HDMI 2.1 cable connected to the hub's HDMI port.
