Doesn't charge computer/see other usb-c items
on August 5, 2016
Posted by: Asdf77
This is being used on a Macbook. I bought this thinking I could keep my power cord connected thru one USB-C and use the other USB-C to add an external item. The regular USB's work fine but the USB-C ports DO NOT work. Neither USB-C port will give power to my computer, neither usb-c port will recognize my usb-c SD card reader, and only one will give power to (but not allow me to access) my external hard drive. The card reader and external drive have no issues when connected directly to the usb-c drive on the computer. DO NOT WASTE your $$$$.

Hi,
This product features a shared charging capacity at 900mAh and it is possible that the Macbook needs more than the hub can handle. As for the computer not recognizing the SD card and external drive, we'd like to help you figure out what has caused it. May we know the make and model of each peripheral? We'd be happy to receive your response via email at BelkinCares@belkin.com and indicate your phone number and the subject/link to this post.

Doesn't charge the macbook
on August 10, 2016
Posted by: Melanie
I bought this based on the description that it would charge the macbook thinking I could also have a USB key or some other USB A device plugged in. The USB A ports work fine, but the USB C port doesn't charge my macbook, even when it is the only thing plugged in. Wish I had opted for a better adaptor and not thrown out my money on this one.

Hi Melanie,
The Belkin USB-C 4-Port Mini Hub doesn’t support pass-through charging. You can still charge peripherals with 900mAh (shared). Should you need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to email us at BelkinCares@belkin.com with your contact details and the link to this review.

Will NOT Passthrough Charge
on January 3, 2018

Again, Belkin needs to address more clearly that this WILL NOT passthrough charging.
Honestly, not really sure why that wasn't a thought it the engineers head when designing this product.
4 Ports to power and connect all my peripherals but no way to keep my MacBook Charged.

Like it a lot so far, cord could be longer though and more flexible.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The drive is basically working, but it automatically mounts a second volume, Ravpower Tool." You can't erase or otherwise do away with it. And it doesn't work well with macOS Catalina. It actually mounts copy after copy of this volume, so the Finder sidebar shows 8 or more "Ravpower Tool" volumes by the end of the day. I don't want this at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Also won't pass along hi-res or 1080p HDMI video
on December 9, 2018

from Palo Alto, CA
Not only does this not pass through power with the USB-c ports, but my Acer (2560X1440) monitor is just black screen, even when only using the lower res 1080p HDMI. (I have an HDMI to usb-c converter that works fine--directly into my macbook pro, but not through this black box.) Wow.
