Details on the X3 Pro’s connection options
The X3 Pro offers two connection options to suit the different types of USB ports available on your laptop. Here’s how each option works, and what you need to know regarding additional power supply.
USB-C Connection
The X3 Pro can be connected via a USB Type-C connection. Here are the details:
Cabling: A single USB-C cable is required
Ports used: Only one USB-C port on your laptop
Advantage: Simplifies the setup and reduces cable clutter — ideal for modern devices equipped with USB-C Power Delivery
USB-A Connection
Alternatively, the X3 Pro can also be connected via a USB Type-A connection. Here’s how:
Cabling: A single USB-C to dual USB-A cable is used
Ports used: Two USB-A ports on your laptop
Advantage: Provides a convenient alternative for devices without USB-C ports, allowing connection with a single cable solution
Additional Power Supply
In some cases, when the power output of your USB-C ports is below 10 watts, it will be necessary to connect the X3 Pro to a wall socket via the Power Delivery (PD) port for additional power. This ensures the screens receive sufficient energy to function properly.
When to use it:
Use this option if you notice that the screen brightness is too low or if the screen repeatedly turns on and off. This indicates that your laptop’s USB-C ports are not supplying enough power.
How to connect:
Plug the PD port cable into a wall socket to provide stable and consistent power.
Summary
The X3 Pro offers two connection types to suit different needs:
USB-C: Uses a single USB-C port with one cable, providing a clean and simple connection.
USB-A: Uses two USB-A ports with a single cable for devices without USB-C ports.
If your USB ports provide insufficient power (below 10 watts), you can connect the X3 Pro to a power socket via the PD port to ensure proper power supply.
This flexibility allows the X3 Pro to adapt to various devices and setups, offering a convenient solution to enhance your workspace.
In short, the X3 Pro supports both USB-C and USB-A connections, with the option to use the PD port for external power when needed.
