I'm guessing connecting to a known high power device (i.e. a laptop)?
I bought this to replace an older 8-port model, but this 252W version is an absolute no-go. I tested the USB-C ports one at a time using an electronic load tester at 20V (increasing by 100mA past 2A) to see if they could actually hit the advertised 100W per port claim.
None of them even came close before shutting down completely and the tests were performed one port at a time and multiple times to avoid flukes:
- USB-C1: Shuts off at 48W
- USB-C2: Shuts off at 53W
- USB-C3: Shuts off at 72W
- USB-C4: Shuts off at 62W
I didn't even bother testing the other ports. Don't fall for the YouTube and influencer hype on this one. It's a massive waste of time and money, and it is going straight back to Amazon.Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.

My setup:
ATORCH DL24 150W load tester
PD trigger board set to 20V
I tested three cables - one Essenger aliexpress special, one USB4 labelled cable, and one unbranded cable.
The unbranded cable did exhibit the behavior specified, shutting off around ~70W.
HOWEVER, using the USB4 cable or the Essenger cable, I was able to get 100W from each of the 4 ports in turn.
I repeated the test with a 65W laptop, and did not observe renegotiation as I plugged/unplugged the load on the other side.
Note that there's a chart in the manual -- roughly, always plug lower power devices in the 2nd line (CxB), it won't rebalance if you have a low power device in C1A and plug a high power device into C1B.
