Thunderbolt 3 Dock for Dual 4K Displays

This Thunderbolt 3 docking station adds eight ports through a single USB-C connection. It drives two HDMI monitors at 4K 60 Hz while providing Gigabit Ethernet, USB-A peripherals and SD card access. The compact grey unit suits professionals who need a permanent desk setup for a compatible laptop.

DisplayPort Alt Mode Limits Video Output

Video requires the host USB-C port to support DisplayPort Alternate Mode; without it the HDMI outputs stay dark. The two HDMI ports share the available bandwidth, so driving both at 4K 60 Hz depends on the host graphics capability. Power Delivery passes up to 100 W, but the host must negotiate that level over USB-C PD.

Plug-and-Play With Reversible Cable

The built-in USB-C cable plugs in either orientation and needs no driver installation on modern operating systems. Common issues arise when the host port lacks Alt Mode or negotiates less than 100 W, leaving displays blank or the laptop charging slowly. The dock draws its own power from the host, so very thin ultraportables may throttle under sustained load.
