How to use

Connect the built-in USB-C cable of the Halyx hub to an available USB-C port on your computer. Once connected, the hub is recognised automatically on supported operating systems and the power LED indicates readiness. Plug your USB-A devices into any of the four Type-A ports. No additional drivers are typically required; for some older systems or specific devices, check OS compatibility and update system drivers if needed.

Recommendations

For best performance, connect high-bandwidth devices (external SSDs, capture devices) one at a time or ensure they are not all transferring large amounts of data simultaneously to avoid saturating the shared 5 Gbps bandwidth. Avoid placing heavy objects on the hub to protect the aluminium housing and cable.
