Support
Power
Since this adapter can operate with or without being connected to a USB-C charger, power issues are very uncommon. If the adapter is connected to a USB-C charger yet the iPad is failing to maintain a charge:
- Confirm that the USB-C charger complies with the USB power delivery (USB PD) specification
- Confirm that the USB-C charger can provide at least 18W
- Use Apple brand or USB-IF certified USB-C cables and keep USB-C cable length to 1 meter or less
- Swap out the charger or USB-C cable to see if this impacts observed behavior
Ethernet
The ethernet connection is configured using the iOS Settings app. Should you observe that the ethernet connection is not stable, consider changing the USB-C cables that you are using. Using poor quality USB-C cables or using USB-C cables with a total combined length of more than 2500mm could contribute to instability in the network connection.
- Note that USB-C cables also effect bandwidth. Using a USB 3.x USB-C cable to connect the C6-NETUSBC to the iPad will provide a faster network connection than using a USB 2 USB-C cable.
