    It is adequate for our needs, but I would have preferred 2 USB 3.0 ports instead of the HDMI

    I bought this product on a recommendation. I wanted to have another monitor attached to my new iMac and I was told this would do the trick. Even though the iMac recognized the external monitor the external monitor would never work and did not recognize the iMac.For what its worth I don't know who was at fault the monitor or the port.

      This Adapter works off a feature called "DP Alt Mode" for video out and "Power Delivery" for pass-through charge over USB-C through a computer. For more information regarding this issue, please contact our customer service agents by Live chat or a Support ticket and they'll be happy to assist you. Unfortunately, our phone support will temporarily be unavailable due to COVID. Cordially, j5. j5create

    It didn’t really work as I needed it to. Unfortunately when I tried connecting it to my iPad to screencast it, it only showed the Lock Screen and it wouldn’t show beyond that. I bought an actual Apple one and that one worked wonderfully, so unfortunately this one just didn’t work whatsoever.

    After getting a new MacBook Pro I discovered that I needed an adapter to use for HDMI. This is easy & it works

      Due to the JCA379's various capabilities i.e. HDMI, USB, charging all in one; it is a highly sought out adapter and we are glad to hear it is working to your expectations. If needed, a helping hand can be obtained by contacting support on the packaging and an agent will be ready to help.

    It offers pretty much same features as Apple’s at a fraction of the cost, but it does not charge through the usb-c.

      Hello,
      Thank you for providing a review of the J5Create adapter. This is a good device for the value. I am sorry to hear that you are not able to charge your laptop through the adapter. The adapter is designed for pass through charging to keep your laptop charged while using it with the adapter. However in some cases you may need a higher wattage charger to power your device and the adapter than what came with your laptop. If you would like further information about this I would recommend contacting our customer support team. Their contact information can be found on the device package and on our website under the support tab.
      Thank you,
      -The J5Create Team j5create

      Hello,
      The USB-C on the adapter is only for power delivery and the HDMI port is only for video out. If you have any questions on how to set up the adapter our customer support team is available to help. Our contact information is printed on the package and can be found on the j5create website under the ‘Support’ dropdown.
      Thank you,

      Depending on your device, it will have to support "DisplayPort Alt Mode" for video out via HDMI, since that port as well as the others are Plug n Play, no drivers needed. Please refer to the manufacturer of your hardware for more information on your device. We apologize for the inconvenience. j5create

      HDMI, USB port for peripherals, and even charging capabilities to your Mac while in use all in one represent the JCA379 - it's simple to use PnP design will have you up and running in seconds.

      The JCA379 will not charge another adapter or Hub, That requires more power for the other device to power on. Please connect it to a computer instead. Thank you. j5create
