Dock your USB-C™ laptop using a USB 3.0 Type-A laptop docking station, with additional support for Power Delivery. This USB to USB-C adapter lets you convert your USB 3.0 laptop docking station to connect a USB-C laptop, MacBook or MacBook Pro, and it adds laptop charging support, so you can keep your laptop powered and charged while it’s docked, using your USB-C laptop’s power adapter.
Enjoy the same workstation functionality you’ve grown accustomed to, without having to replace your USB 3.0 docking station with a USB-C dock. Connect the USB-C adapter to your laptop using the built-in USB-C cable, then use a USB 3.0 (Type-A) cable to connect from the adapter to your existing USB 3.0 docking station.
In addition, you can power and charge compatible USB-C laptops using a USB Type-C™ power adapter that connects through the USB-C port on the adapter. The adapter supports USB Power Delivery 2.0 up to 60W.
The adapter is also ideal for connecting legacy USB 3.0 devices, such as your existing external hard drive, to a newer USB-C laptop. Now, you can access your current devices and avoid the cost of upgrading to newer USB-C devices.
The power delivery option to charge a laptop can also be used in this configuration. Simply connect the adapter to a USB-C power adapter through the available USB-C port.
Extend the life of your current USB 3.0 devices and take advantage of newer devices that feature USB-C.
This USB 3.0 hub lets you expand your USB connection options using the USB-C port on your computer. It offers one USB-A port and one USB-C port, so you can connect traditional USB devices as well as newer USB-C devices to your USB-C laptop.
The HB30C1A1CPD is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

The steps below outline how to configure the USB root hub to stay on during hibernation, to prevent this from happening.
Windows 10 / 8
Note: You may need to disconnect and re-connect your USB device after applying these settings to re-establish the connection.
Windows 7 / Vista
Note: You may need to disconnect and re-connect your USB device after applying these settings to re-establish the connection.
Windows XP

It is possible to use some USB hubs without a power supply, however, doing so may prevent the USB hub or certain high-power USB peripherals from operating. It is always recommended to use an included power supply with a USB hub when possible.
When a power adapter is not used on a hub that comes with a power adapter, power is drawn from the USB port on the computer and then divided between the ports on the hub. This reduces the power delivery to individual ports and high-powered USB peripherals, such as external hard drives, may not start.
On USB hubs that can use a power adapter, more power can be supplied to USB ports than what is possible with a single USB port.
If your USB peripherals require power adapters, they probably do not require power from the USB port and can be used on a USB hub without a power adapter. With USB peripherals that use power adapters, the USB ports on the hub are only used for data transfer and do not draw power from the hub.
USB peripherals that require low power (for example, keyboards and mice) can be used on hubs without a power adapter, in conjunction with other low-power USB peripherals. In this case, power is drawn from the computer's USB port, as described above.
USB-C is a type of USB connector that is capable of supporting the following:
If using Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C, the connection is capable of additional features. For example, Thunderbolt 3 is capable of 40Gbps of total bandwidth. For more information, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/thunderbolt-3-port-capabilities.
Not all USB-C ports or devices are capable of supporting all of the features listed above, or all of the features at the maximum capabilities. If you require a specific USB-C feature, your USB host connection, cables, and device must all support the feature that you require. For more information about whether your components support specific USB-C features, refer to the information provided by the manufacturers.
To use all of the features of this USB-C device, it is required that all of the following components support USB Power Delivery 2.0:
