The built-in cable allows you to connect a power supply with a capacity of up to 100 W to the hub, and the output provides up to 80 W of power, which is sufficient for many laptop and monitor models.The built-in cooler supports automatic speed control and, in Turbo mode, accelerates to a stable 10,000 rpm.
