Samsung Galaxy Tab A7: how to charge when using USB devices?

[vps]

Hello, I bought a new Galaxy Tab A7 2020 with the intention to use it with a USB keyboard and mouse at home. Since this tablet has a USB-C port, I also bought a USB-C hub for this purpose. I successfully connected the hub to the tablet and the keyboard and mouse to the hub, and everything works -- except that when I connect the Samsung charger (the original one coming with the tablet) to the power port of the USB-C hub, the tablet does not start charging. Is there anything else or special to be done to make this work?

hi @vps 

this new tablet has staggering 45Watts super fast charging, then 25W fast charging

the USB hub which mainly designed for data transfer (small amperes/watts) cannot keep up with the power need of the tablet
