Port Functionality & Real World Use Cases

Let’s break down how each port actually enhances a solo content creator’s workflow:

• USB 3.0 Port: Fast transfers for hard drives, USB sticks with raw footage or music files.

• USB 2.0 Ports (x4): For peripherals like the Zebronics keyboard/mouse combo, Digitek mic receiver, ring light power, etc.

• HDMI Port: Connect a secondary display for dual-screen editing or script reading.

• Type-C Port (Pass-through charging): Use your MacBook while the hub is connected.

• SD & MicroSD Card Slots: Transfer camera content directly (works well with Nikon Z50).

• RJ45 Ethernet Port: For fast, stable internet during large uploads or live streaming.

Performance: Plug-and-Play Perfection

Within a month of usage, the CT101 has never needed extra software or troubleshooting. All devices are detected instantly on both macOS and Windows. Even with all 10 ports in use, there was no overheating or lag.

Tested Use Cases:

• File transfers of 4GB+ from SD card to MacBook (10-20 MB/s)

• Live preview of YouTube video edits on an external monitor via HDMI

• Audio recording with USB mic while keyboard/mouse are active

• Plug-and-play Ethernet when Wi-Fi was weak
