Aggregated specification data lists a bus-powered USB 3.2 Gen 2 protocol for this Acer manifold. By omitting Power Delivery and video circuits, the hardware utilizes a streamlined architecture that minimizes signal crosstalk and thermal overhead. Technical audits indicate the use of a VL822 or similar high-efficiency bridge controller to manage 10Gbps throughput across the four-port array.
Functional highlights include:
- Driverless sequential throughput for high-speed SSDs.
- Minimalist chassis design for mobile data workflows.
- Four-port expansion via a single upstream Type-C lane.
Performance metrics demonstrate that without a DC-in jack, the hub relies entirely on host port amperage, typically limited to a 5V/3A total ceiling. Technical documentation confirms the unit does not support host charging or DisplayPort Alt Mode video output.
If laptop charging is a requirement, the Acer 10Gbps PD Hub adds a 100W Power Delivery input to this data-only architecture. This unit is positioned as a specialized data branch in the USB-C hubs architectural class.
