Questions about Sitecom CN 386

I received an email that "Sitecom CN 386" now costs "only 40.- instead of 46.70, i.e. minus 14%. In the shop, however, the product now costs 48.90 and is therefore now more expensive - what kind of snake catching is this ?

Is it possible to charge the device and transfer data at the same time via the USB-C Power Delivery port?

Can I use it to connect 2 portable monitors to my laptop?

My Lenovo E580 has only one USB C 3.0 port. It is charged via the power supply unit. But I can also connect my external touchscreen to it, only then I'm running on battery power. Would it now be possible to use this Sitecom CN 386 part to plug the power supply into the hub and charge the laptop in this way and operate the touchscreen with touch function on another USB C port?

Does this device work well if it is just used to connect several external SSDs?

I recently used this hub for a live stream. Mobile phone + Obsbot tiny 4k webcam + power with wall adapter USB A to C - after 3.5 h it stopped. Can I optimise this somehow? If so, with which wall adapter + cable ? Many thanks cheers

To operate an i-tec docking station with trible 4K monitors, this hub is probably too weak or?

I always use all 4 ports on my Macbook Pro. So I see this cable as the perfect addition to "convert" 4 cables into 1 cable. However, will this be possible without problems if I want to connect the following devices at the same time (regarding speed loss etc.): - External sound card (Universal Audio Arrow) - Macbook charging cable - External monitor (LG 32 inch) - Apple MagSafe (iPhone 13 Pro charging)

Do I understand correctly that it is USB 3.1 Gen 2? But then it would be 900 MB/s and not "1250 MB/s". @digitec: it would be great if you could filter by 5, 10 and 20 Gbps (i.e. USB3.0 Gen1, Gen2 and Gen 2x2).

Does the part also work properly with Mac?

I only have one USB C port on my notebook. I have connected a docking station (Icy Box IB-DK4040-CPD - USB Type-C mini Dock PD) to it, where a monitor is connected via VGA, among other things. Can I now connect this Sitecom hub to the USB C port of the notebook, connect my docking station to one of the three USB C ports of the hub and still have two free USB C slots? I have read in particular that the Sitecom hub does not support screens, but I wonder if my docking station does not take care of the necessary transfer here...

I have been using this hub on my MacBook Pro for several weeks and I also charge it via the Power USB-C port on the front. Two SanDisk Extreme SSD drives are also attached. Everything actually works very well, even with very high transfer rates, but the hub is constantly hot (I estimate around 50°C) even when the MacBook is idle! Does anyone have similar experiences with the temperature on a Mac / Macbook? Thanks
