j5create - Male USB-C to Female Dual USB-C Adapter with Video or Power Delivery - White

I required an extra USBC port for my portable laptop extended screens. I tried two different types that I bought from online marketplace and they were crap. I couldn’t get the 3 screens to work until I bought this item from Best Buy. That’s all I am saying. This item works for me. It provides the extra USBC port for my display monitor and a charging port to keep my laptop charged.

It functions flawlessly, allowing for uninterrupted viewing throughout the day without draining the battery.

The male goes to the laptop. One monitor in the DP/USB and the power cord in the Power in.

After functioning for five months, the device suddenly stopped delivering power to, and audio from, an iPhone. J5's response to a support request revealed that their reps don't even understand the purpose of this product or how it works. For example, one told me that it needs 100 watts to function, and that it's not designed for phones (but only for computers and tablets). This is absurd, and directly contradicts what J5's Web site says. 100 watts is the MAXIMUM power that the device can pass through. Also, its primary use is for mobile devices that have only one port, and thus need it to charge and deliver audio at the same time. Why would you even use it for a computer, when computers typically have headphone jacks and don't typically charge with USB-C? When the device functioned, it did so just well enough to be acceptable. Its audio output level is very low compared to other sources, so you need to turn your amplifier up quite high. It also suffers from buzz when you disconnect your phone; this isn't a huge deal because typically you will then switch to another source. Audio quality was acceptable, without the automatic-gain problem that cripples Belkin audio adapters with profound noise.

Good adapter and do the job but sadly stopped working randomly after a month
