Purpose and audience

The Orico TB3-S3 is a 15-in-1 Thunderbolt 3 docking station built for professionals who need a single-cable desktop setup. It delivers 40 Gbps bandwidth, dual 4K 60 Hz video through Thunderbolt 3 and DisplayPort 1.4, and up to 60 W power delivery to the host laptop. An aluminium chassis houses ten ports including Gigabit LAN, SD/TF card reader, analogue audio, S/PDIF optical output and multiple USB-A and USB-C connectors.

Suitability and limits

This dock suits Thunderbolt 3 laptops running macOS 10.12 or later or Windows 8.1 and newer that require two external 4K displays and legacy peripheral support. It cannot drive two monitors from a MacBook Air or Pro 2020 with an M1 chip because that platform limits external displays to one. Buyers whose laptops lack a Thunderbolt 3 port or who need an HDMI connector should look elsewhere, as the dock provides only Thunderbolt 3 and DisplayPort 1.4 video outputs.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the host requirement for a Thunderbolt 3 port with video-out capability; without it the dock cannot deliver its 40 Gbps throughput, dual 4K 60 Hz video or 60 W charging.

Questions about this item

What cables and adapters come in the box and what must I buy separately?

The dock ships with a 65 W DC power adapter and a Thunderbolt 3 cable to connect the dock to your computer; no video cables or extra adapters are included.

Should I choose the single 5K mode or the dual 4K mode for my monitors?

Pick single 5K at 5120 x 2880 @ 60 Hz if you need one very high-resolution screen; pick dual 4K at 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz each when you want two monitors side by side.

What does the 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 3 speed mean once the dock is in my setup?

It provides up to 40 Gbps of total bandwidth shared between the two Thunderbolt 3 ports, the DisplayPort 1.4 output and all USB data lanes so you can run dual 4K displays and high-speed peripherals simultaneously.
