What is the difference between USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and “SuperSpeed USB”?
USB 2.0 is older, slower (~480 Mbps). USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed) jumps to ~5 Gbps for faster transfers. Newer standards go beyond, but Amkette uses USB 3.0 for compatibility & speed.
Does every Type-C port support video output (HDMI / DisplayPort)?
No. For video output via Type-C, your device must support alternate mode (DisplayPort Alt Mode). Otherwise, HDMI ports may not work.
How much power do I need in a hub/dock?
Passive hubs are okay for small devices. For external HDDs, multiple SSDs, or charging a laptop, use a hub/dock with external power supply or PD pass-through (60–100W).
Can I use Amkette hubs with different operating systems?
Yes. Most Amkette hubs/docks are plug-and-play for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android/iPad
