Thunderbolt 3 Dock Turns Your Mac or Windows Laptop into a Workstation This Thunderbolt 3 dock expands the potential of your laptop''s Thunderbolt 3 port. It''s ideal for transmitting digital 4K video to two large displays simultaneously, adding as many as five USB peripherals, recording a podcast, listening to music and connecting to a Gigabit Ethernet network-all at the same time. DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST) Allows Connection of Multiple Displays By connecting the included Thunderbolt 3 cable to a source that supports DisplayPort MST Mode, you may connect two displays simultaneously, so long as one of them is connected to the DisplayPort video port. Connect a DisplayPort monitor and an HDMI monitor or a DisplayPort monitor and a VGA monitor at the same time. You can display the same image on both monitors, extend your desktop across both with different windows open on each, or combine both into one large monitor to create a video wall. Thunderbolt 3 Supports Blisteringly Fast 40 Gbps Data Transfer Speeds The included Thunderbolt 3 cable supports bidirectional speeds up to 40 Gbps, which is eight times faster than USB 3.0, four times faster than Thunderbolt 1 and twice as fast as Thunderbolt 2. With dual 20 Gbps channels moving data both directions at the same time, the MTB3-DOCK-02 is perfectly suited for 4K video streaming and editing on two monitors, as well as transferring large RAW video or CAD files. Transmits Crystal-Clear 4K Video and Digital Audio HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 outputs support Ultra HD video resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 (4K x 2K) at 60 Hz. With the use of high-speed cables (such as Tripp Lite''s P568-Series HDMI or P580-Series DisplayPort cables, sold separately), both ports can be used at the same time to display the same true 4K image. HDCP 2.2 compliance allows you to stream iTunes and Netflix content with no complications. In addition, a VGA port supports 1080p video transmissions up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz. It can also be used simultaneously with the DisplayPort output. Connects Keyboards, Mice, Thumb Drives and Other USB Peripherals Four USB-A hub ports and one USB-C port accept USB peripherals, such as flash drives, mice, keyboards, external hard drives and printers. Two USB-A ports and the USB-C port support fast USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps (10 times faster than USB 2.0) and are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. Accesses a Wired Gigabit Ethernet Network The RJ45 port offers access to a Gigabit Ethernet network when no Wi-Fi is available or when a wired connection offers faster speeds. Connect using a UTP cable (Tripp Lite N201-Series Cat6 cables sold separately), and enjoy true 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds for fast data transfers. Connects Stereo Audio Equipment for Recording and Playback This Thunderbolt 3 docking station contains two 3.5 mm mini stereo jacks, convenient for connecting speakers, headphones or a microphone to your workstation. You can listen to music and record the latest episode of your podcast. Included Thunderbolt 3 Cable Attaches in Either Direction Unlike traditional USB cables that connect in only one direction, the reversible Thunderbolt 3 male connector plugs into its port in either direction for a fumble-free connection every time.
