The deck uses PDC?, basically it has a negotiated power draw. The charger is around 2-2.5Am(I can’t remember anything today), 45W and can range from 5-15 volts. I’ve had usb hubs with memory sticks/cards, keyboard, hdmi and external ssd all plugged in with zero issues, although if I use my usb-c extension cable I need to run it from the power cable to the hub and not the hub to the deck as things get very flakey configured with the second option.
USB-C isn’t magic. The length and type of the cable can severely affect its reliability (as Mac users have been painfully aware of since 2016). I don’t trust anything less than a 100W, short (0.5m or less) Thunderbolt 3 cable if I want anything more than USB 2.0 speeds or basic charging.
edit: I’m aware this is a rather extreme superstition, but I’ve been already spent too much time messing with cables
