Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station Turns Your MacBook or Other Notebook into a WorkstationThis Thunderbolt 3 dock expands the potential of your MacBook or ThinkPad’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.Supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode for Transmitting Audio/Video SignalsBy connecting the included Thunderbolt 3 cable to a source device that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, you can output 4K video and digital audio to a compatible monitor, television or projector without installing special software drivers.Thunderbolt 3 Supports Blisteringly Fast 40 Gbps Data Transfer SpeedsThe 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.DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST) Allows Connection of Multiple DisplaysBy 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 (DP) video port. Connect a DP monitor and an HDMI monitor or a DP monitor and a VGA monitor at the same time. This allows you to display the same image on both monitors, extend your host desktop across both with different windows open on each, or combine both into one large display as a video wall.Transmits Crystal-Clear 4K Video and Digital AudioThe HDMI and DP outputs support true 4K resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz. The VGA output supports HD resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) at 60 Hz. HDCP 2.2 compliance allows you to stream 4K Amazon and Netflix content with no complications.USB Ports Connects Keyboards, Thumb Drives and Other USB PeripheralsFour USB-A hub ports and one USB-C port accept USB peripherals, such as flash drives, mice, keyboards, external hard drives and printers. The USB-C and two USB-A ports support fast USB 3.2 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. The other two USB-A ports support USB 2.0 speeds of 480 Mbps.Accesses a Wired Gigabit Ethernet NetworkThe 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 (sold separately), and enjoy true 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds for fast data transfers.Connects Stereo Audio Equipment for Recording and PlaybackThis Thunderbolt 3 docking station offers 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 DirectionUnlike traditional USB cables that connect in only one direction, the reversible Thunderbolt 3 male connector plugs into its port in either direction for an instant connection every time.Ready to Use Right from the Package, So You Can Plug and Play ImmediatelyThe plug-and-play Thunderbolt 3 dock is specifically designed for use with the MacBook Pro and other notebook computers equipped with a Thunderbolt 3 port. It requires no extra software to download and install. The included external power supply provides up to 20V 3A (60W) to charge and power the connected source device. The docking station is slightly larger than a typical smartphone, making it easy to pack into a backpack or laptop bag for multiport convenience wherever you go.
