Small adapter to connect multiple devices
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works very well and is small even though it accommodates several devices. It does run warm, though.

Posted .Accommodating multiple devices for different purposes is part of the picture with the JCD383; supplying video, hard wired internet and USB ports for accessories in one.
Cordially,

Very Useful Gadget
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very useful gadget. Every new laptop user should have one of this
I would recommend this to a friendWorks but gets hot!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good adapter for your newer MacBook Air or anything Apple has decided to delete ports on and just leave you with UBB-C ports. However, this thing gets hot. It has a metal shell that gets very warm to the touch. It also draws down your battery. Works best when connected to power. Another thing to consider the shell and cable end are metal. So they will scratch your computer if left to in your bag loose. Other wise it does work good.

Posted .Mac, Windows, Chromebook, Android users looking to add monitor and Ethernet connectivity, SD card reading and USB ports for gadgets can do so with the JCD383, it's PnP design requires no software installation. In regards to the temperature of the JCD383, that is normal under operating conditions due to electricity running through the adapter. If the JCD383 is becoming concerningly hot, please feel free to reach out to the technical support team printed on the casing and a specialist will be happy to help.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a newer HP laptop with one HDMI port. I wanted two monitors. I was looking for a product to allow plugging in another monitor from a USB port. I looked at various reviews and this product looked good. It would use the USB Type-C port which is faster. However, when I plugged in the adapter I immediately saw a message on my screen that "Display connection might be limited". Sure enough the HDMI port on the adapter did not function. After hours of research I determined that the adapter is just fine. The laptop has generation 1 USB Type-C which does not support display output. I wish I had known that! I bought another j5create adapter that would go from USB Type-A to HDMI. I plugged this one into one of the USB Type-A ports on the Type-C adapter and the HDMI worked almost immediately. I did not even have to download any driver. Actually, when I went to the j5create site and tried to download a driver, Malwarebytes strongly suggested not doing that. I dunno, I have downloaded other drivers with no complaint by Malwarebytes. Anyway, make sure your USB Type-C supports generation 2 if you want to use the HDMI output. By the way, I bought the laptop from Best Buy. Looking at the specs on the Best Buy site for the laptop it is not clear that the USB Type-C port does not support display. I had to go to the HP site and get a technical manual (supposedly only for technicians who work on the laptop) to determine the facts.

The perfect companion for your Surface Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love, love, love my new Surface Laptop 3 (15"). But the ONLY thing I don't like is the substantive lack of ports. It was hard for me to believe that it had fewer ports than my Surface Pro 4! So, I needed something that would allow me to hook up all my gizmos to my new amazing computer. This did the trick! When I'm not at my desk (where I have a Surface Dock that does all that), this is the perfect portable hub to connect all the goodies to your slimmed down laptop (even if it's not a Surface - USB-C is awesome).

Read multiple reviews before burying.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bulky to use on a laptop. If you're moving your laptop around often, the weight might eventually damage the cable that connects it to the laptop. It also gets very very hot and feels like it might burn or cause a fire damage if left unattended for a long period of time. I only had a wireless mouse adapter connected to this dongle, and it still got hot. I imagine connecting more devices.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .The adapter itself is active and powered whenever it's plugged into your laptop’s USB-C port. It has built-in chips to manage data transfer, video output, and power delivery, even if those functions aren’t all being used at the moment. These components remain powered and ready, which naturally generates heat, regardless of how many devices are connected.
