The Plugable PS-10CC USB Type-C Power Delivery 10-Port Priority Charger will not work properly if being powered from a legacy USB-A port charger using a USB-C to USB-A cable. The PS-10CC requires a USB-C to USB-C connection between the charger and a USB-C PD power supply. 

Similarly, the PS-10CC cannot be powered from a computer, even if the computer has USB-C. This is because computer USB ports are incapable of offering enough power to the charger.

Connecting the PS-10CC to a computer would only work and be used for possible future firmware updates to the charger by connecting it to a Windows PC. Please note that at this time there is no new firmware available or needed.

Looking for more details? Check out our Plugable PS-10CC product page for specs and compatibility information, or our article about compatibility and general usage recommendations for the PS-10CC.
