    Hello all

    I bought a TCH-6 recently and try to connect it with my Macbook. Everything works perfectly except the power delivery. My current USB-C Power Adapter is 30W.

    Please advise if there is anything I can do to fix it. Many thanks!

    30W - (power to be reserved by the hub) = what is left for the laptop. Too little left = no charge (minimum charging wattage required is depending on the laptop’s firmware)

    I believe you need a PD charger with a higher output (e.g. the Apple original 61W/87W/100W PD charger)
