• Related Product: SwitchBot Al Hub

The two USB-C ports on the AI hub, USB-C1 and USB-C2, offer similar functions, both supporting connections to hard drives and Ethernet cables. However, USB-C1, located near the power port, supports the USB 3.0 standard, can connect to external displays, and achieves a transmission speed of up to 1000 Mbps when connected to an Ethernet cable. In contrast, USB-C2 supports the USB 2.0 standard, does not support external displays, and has a maximum transmission speed of 100 Mbps when connected to an Ethernet cable.

Note:  

When hard drives are connected to both USB-C ports, the AI Hub will recognize only the first connected drive and cannot detect two drives simultaneously.
