Why won't USBc ports power peripherals?
I just installed a WL-UG69PD2 on a Mac Studio running Sonoma (updated).
I have two 32" 4k monitors connected by DP cables to the Display Port. There is one other HD connected to the Display Port in a backside USB3.0 port. I tried connected several USB devices using the remaining USB ports but none seems o provide sufficient power for the devices. a) tried to connect an iPad that I use as a teleprompter device (through Duet) to both the front and back USB3.0 ports - booted, then shut off screen on iPad -- then connected it to the USBC ports using an Anker dongle - and it didn't work -- connected the same iPad back to my front UBS on my Mac Studio and it worked fine b) tried to connect my DJI Pocket 3 to the USBC ports on the front of the Display Port with rated 3.1 cable. -- only booted as a camera, and did not allow boot as a webcam -- connected the same Pocket 3 with rated 3.1 cable to front USBC port on my Mac Studio and it worked fine. I know of others who have connected two monitors, a hard drive and several cameras (CamLink) to a Display Port successfully. Any idea why this would not work here? |
