Frequently Asked Questions
Does the UE330C work with MacBook Pro and MacBook Air?
Yes. The UE330C is fully compatible with MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models featuring a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 port. No drivers are needed — macOS detects it automatically.
Can I use the USB 3.0 port and Ethernet at the same time?
Yes. The USB 3.0 Type-A port and the Gigabit Ethernet port operate independently and simultaneously, so you can connect a USB peripheral while maintaining a wired network connection.
Does it support Power Delivery (PD) charging?
No. The UE330C does not support USB Power Delivery passthrough. It is bus-powered by the host device and does not charge your laptop.
Is it compatible with USB-C docking stations or hubs?
The UE330C is designed to connect directly to a USB-C port on a host device. Compatibility with third-party docking stations may vary.
Does it work with Windows 11?
Yes. The UE330C is plug-and-play on Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, and 7 with no driver installation required.
