Power Role
Dual role:
The switcher can be source (and sends power to the connected device) or sink (the switcher does
not send power, real power consumption does not happen) depending on the connected device.
INFO:
Using
Dual role
setting is highly recommended, the other options are mainly for troubleshooting.
Source:
When the connected device is a sink (e.g. smart phone or a dual-role laptop), the switcher charges
it via the USB-port.
Sink:
When the power role of the connected device is source-only (e.g. PC), the switcher has to change its
power role (sink or dual-role) to build up the connection. Real power consumption does not happen.
