Amazing product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a must-have if you are using a computer with no ports other than a type-C and a regular USB. Everything fits in smoothly and their are no connection issues. Only slight issue is that it gets pretty hot if you have a lot hooked up to it at once, definitely could be hazardous if around the wrong material, but I haven't run into a problem.

Posted .Hello Kevin,
Thank you for your praise of the adapter. I would like to allay your concern about the operating temperature of the adapter. We have stress tested these under heavy load with no damage to the surroundings. The adapter may feel warmer than other computer equipment due to its aluminum casing. The aluminum will transfer more heat from the internal components than a plastic case would; thus the body of the device will feel warmer than expected. We appreciate your feedback.
Thank you,

Mult-platform
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It worked smoothly with my Mac, and my Linux laptops without installing anything. I assume, it would work very well with Windows too. Actually, this J5Create device is not the first one I purchased, and I am buying more of them because they work very well with Linux, which is usually a non-target platform for branders.

Posted .Hi FSoaresBR, thank you so much for writing a review for the JCD383 and letting us know that the device also works for Linux, which is great since the JCD383 is a PnP. With gratitude, j5create.

Great Adapter
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased to use on a new laptop to connect a second screen. I plug in all the other thumb drive and charging cords which is very convenient. Sent an email to the company asking if runs warm to the touch. CS responded within 10 minuets and explained that it will run warm while in use. Question answered!

Good option for Microsoft surface
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to use with a Microsoft surface device. Typically if you are going to need a bunch of USB and other ports, then this is a good option for the surface. This is plug and play so there really is not any set up that is necessary. Not much I can say other than it fits the bill.

Useful & Versatile
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product, but I wish I had one with USB A instead of C. I have several computers and most of them are pre USB C so I now need an adapter. However, the device is great and the one slight drawback is easily remedied.

Great to give a USB C device an RJ45 & other ports
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Becomes a little warm and the RJ45 can become a bit loose over time making the connection unreliable. If tension is off the cable it is fine when it does heat up. (Yes it is a good connector on the end of the cable). Beyond that works great!

Average USB Type C connector
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This wasn’t what I wanted but was having a hard time finding a docking station period. It runs really hot all of the time. No connection issues just not what I wanted in a product and very pricey.

Posted .Good afternoon,
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.
We do expect that the device will get warm to moderately hot, but this is well within normal ranges. Our device has been stress tessed and we have found that the average max opeational temperature for this product is ~106 °F / 41 °C, this is also while the adapter is under a full load or is being used continuously for >~ 1hr.
Please remember that ambient temperatures can also affect the unit as well as your computer. Manufacturer's recommend that computers be used where the temperature is between 50° and 95° F (10° and 35° C)."
If you are finding that your device is exceeding the average temperature of 135 °F/57 °C, for periods > 30 minutes, it may be defective and we'd be more than happy to help with an exchange. While testing, we haven't found this product to run at anything higher than 112°F/44 °C, for periods <10 minutes.
If you would like to speak to our customer service representatives, our information can be located on the back of all of our product boxes, as well as on our website on the support page. There you can find links to our livechat, phone and ticketing services.
Sincerely,

Works HOT..
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plug & Play works good. It does get pretty hot sometimes not sure if that is something I should be concerned with or not. Other then that works great.

Posted .Brighter1, It is considered normal for the JCD383 to become warm due to electricity running through the hub. In the case where the hub is becoming too hot and harming you, we recommend that you please contact the support team and an agent will diagnose, troubleshoot, offer solutions and if necessary, offer an exchange under the manufacturer's warranty. Aside from that, we're glad to hear it is working great.
Respectfully,

Works great. Does what it's asked to do.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This adapter, although awkward to need it in the first place, has done all that I've needed and then some. I plugged it into my Mac, then to an external TV and then tried to Zoom meetings. Sadly it was too much for the computer, but the adapter did it's job. Alas, even technology has its limitations.

Works as Expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as expected. The USB 3.0 ports accommodate USB 2.0 flash drives. It also has an HDMI port that has been handy to have. When I plugged the Ethernet cable into the adapter, then to my router, all worked immediately as expected. I have had no problems with it.

Does what they say it will do.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this solely as a card reader for downloading photos from my Canon cameras. Works just fine. And it will be nice to have if and when I need to plug extra peripherals into my laptop. Would have received 5 stars if it had been slightly less expensive.

Wonderful Add-On
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this device because a new computer only had a USB 3.1 and a Type C port. While this device uses the type C it gives you another as well as 3 USB 3.1's. It also has an ethernet port which the computer didn't, plus an additional HDMI port. Couldn't ask for much else in such a small package. Have not had a problem with any port tried.
