		stormbrew on Nov 3, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: An Open Source 4-Port High Power USB Hub You can't do Power Delivery over Type-A. Probably there are other thunderbolt-related functions that don't work either. So yes, you can passively convert to type-a if what you're doing is within the spec of what type-a can do but it's not the same as an actual usb type-c hub could be.

USB-C PD can be done independently of the actual USB (or Thunderbolt, or DisplayPort alternate modes).
