1 Introduction

The USB Type-C connector ecosystem addresses the evolving needs of modern platforms and devices, and the trend towards smaller, thinner, and lighter form-factor designs. Additionally, the modification of USB Power Delivery (USB PD) for the Type-C connector helps address the needs of power hungry applications.

To take advantage of Type-C benefits, USB-C hubs are a cost-effective and space-saving way to add ports to a laptop, PC, or gaming system, allowing users to connect extra monitors or peripherals to use.
