USB hubs expand one host connection into data, display, network, card-reader or power functions, but the connector shape does not define those capabilities.
Match the computer port, hub controller, cable, display mode, Power Delivery wattage and shared bandwidth to every attached device.

USB-C can carry many optional features, and an unsupported host function cannot be added by the hub alone.
USB 3.x, USB4 and Thunderbolt links have different bandwidth and tunnelling capabilities. The slowest host, cable or hub component sets the connection ceiling.
An HDMI socket on a hub works only when the host USB-C port provides the required video mode or USB4 tunnelling. Supported resolution and refresh can fall when multiple displays share bandwidth.
A PD input often reserves part of the charger wattage for the hub itself. The laptop, charger, cable and hub must agree on a sufficient profile.
Keyboards and flash drives have modest needs, while hard drives and capture devices can exceed a bus-powered budget. A powered hub supplies a more stable pool within its rated outputs.
Ethernet, card readers and USB drives can compete for the same upstream connection. Simultaneous transfer speed may be lower than each port maximum.
High-speed devices share the upstream link, while bus-powered peripherals also share available power.
