Can I use Type C port and USB 3.0 port of USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter at the same time?

Hi ,

I have bought a USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter.

My use case is to power the custom board through Type C power and at the same time use the USB 3.0 and HDMI port of the same adapter to connect to access data from pendrive and send display data to HDMI monitor respectively.

Can my use case be achieved using "USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter".

Thanks and Regards,

Abhilash G

It is important to understand in more complex cases that the USB-C, provided by this adapter is a charging-only port:

Use the USB-C port of this adapter for charging your Mac, not for data transfer or video.

The rectangular USB-A port:

Use the USB-A port of this adapter with flash drives, cameras, and other devices that connect to USB-A for data transfer or charging. It supports data-transfer speeds up to 5Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 1).
