It Does the Trick
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a cool peripheral. It has usb 2 and 3 ports, HDMI, and an SD card reader. My only real complaint is this thing GETS CRAZY HOT. Just having it plugged into my Macbook gets this thing hot. I ended up buying some heat sinks online and that kind of does the trick to keep it from melting my desk.

Posted .In the case where the JCD383 is becoming really hot, we recommend contacting the technical support team mentioned on the casing to speak with a rep and an exchange will be issued. Although warm temperatures are expected due to electricity passing through, we do recommend exchanging it in extreme cases. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

Works great.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plugged in and was usable right away. The Wife's new laptop just needs a few extra ports once in a while or the capability of reading a SD card from her Doxie. I would only ask for a slightly longer cord.

j5create - USB Type-C Multi Adapter - silver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works, kind of. The device gets very warm. The HDMI port works great from the tablet to the TV. The card reader did not work. USB ports worked okay. Pass though charging works however the high temperature worried me. I did not want to use it for a long time.

Posted .Hello,
We appreciate you for taking the time to post a review on the adapter. The adapter may feel warmer than you would expect since it has a metal casing instead of a plastic casing. If the card reader is not working I would recommend contacting j5create customer support for troubleshooting assistance. You can find our contact information on the j5create website under ‘Support’.
Thank you,

A Handy Adapter
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very handy adapter for almost any (up-to-date) device you might want to connect to your Mac. Allows charging at the same time. My only quibble is that it gets pretty warm, and occasionally I am forced to switch the USB 3.1 port that I use because of a faulty connection. That doesn't happen often and always resolves.

Posted .Hello,
Glad to hear that you are pleased with the functionality of the JCD383. It will seem warmer than other electronic equipment due to the adapter’s aluminum case. The aluminum will get warmer than plastic because plastic acts as an insulator where aluminum will transfer heat out and away from the internal components.
Thank you,

Best Adapter on market
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cannot function without this adapter. I have a MacBook PRo that just has USB C ports. This adapter - including the USCB C port makes my setup very easy. IT offloads 2 USBC ports I use for external monitors. All-in-All a must for any serious home setup

Average USB Type C
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's an okay USB type C hub to add an external monitor and additional USB A ports to my iPad Pro. It does get a little warm and I have yet to get the pass through power to work with the Apple charger. Going to try with a GaN fast charger to see if it makes a difference.

Posted .Hello,

Not too bad
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So for starters I really haven’t used this item much. When I do it’s worked well for me with no issues. The only thing I’ve noticed is that it get really warm to the touch when I disconnect it from the laptop even if I only use it to connect my printer cable and print a few items. Not sure if that is a normal thing or not.

Posted .Hello,
Thank you for choosing a j5create adapter. It is expected for the adapter to get warm during use. It will seem warmer than other accessories because the aluminum casing on the adapter will radiate heat more than a traditional plastic case found on other products. We appreciate the review and feedback.
Thanks,

sleek, light device; fits in top shirt pocket
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Moving a lot of data (hundreds of gigabytes) through this j5create device caused it to get pretty warm, surprisingly. Very fast data transfer. I like the versatility: HDMI, Ethernet, micro-SD + SD slots, power & data capable male and female USB-C, and 3 other USB ports.

Posted .Thank you for your review. Generally, adapters emit heat as a normal part of its operation, especially if the USB-C pass-through charging and/or all ports on the hub are utilized.
