Important (if you intend to use the display ports on this hub)
You MUST check that your device can output video over USB C. Many popular USB C devices cannot do this.
Apple devices: Macbooks are not able to output to multiple displays using this hub. They will just mirror the display on all connected monitors. However, Windows laptops that are capable of video over USB-C will be able to fully extend the desktop across all connected displays.
See the listing images and the information box below for more details.
If you do not intend to use the display ports, you don't need to worry about this. The other ports should work fine with almost all USB C devices.

How can I check if my device's USB C port supports video before I order?
Laptops
Check your USB C port for one of these symbols:
(DP) or 
(Thunderbolt) = ✓ This USB C port supports video.
(data) or 
(power) = ✗ These symbols do not show support for video.- If your USB C port is not labelled with either the DP or Thunderbolt symbol, it is unlikely to support video.
