Anker - 555 USB-C Hub (8-in-1), with 85W Power Delivery, 4K 60Hz HDMI Port, 10Gbps USB C and 2 A Data Ports - Gray

The issue you're experiencing with power delivery on your Anker 555 USB-C Hub may be related to insufficient power being provided to the hub. The power specifications for your hub are as follows: The PD (Power Delivery) input supports up to 100W. After allowing for the hub's own power consumption (approximately 15W), the output power available for your laptop is 85W. To ensure consistent power delivery, you need a charger with an output of at least 100W connected to the hub’s PD input port. This will ensure that there is enough power for both the hub's operation and for charging your connected devices. If you're using a charger with a lower output, the power may be insufficient, which could cause the hub to drop power delivery intermittently. Make sure to use a high-quality 100W charger and compatible cables for optimal performance.

The Anker 555 USB-C Hub (8-in-1) requires power for its operation. For example, its USB-C PD-IN port provides up to 85W power delivery for charging connected devices, meaning it needs to have an external power source to function optimally. It is designed to work with power attached to operate and charge connected devices effectively.
