Finish your work faster with Thunderbolt 3
You can quickly integrate the dock into your workspace and boost your productivity. With up to 40Gbps of
throughput, you can add extra displays to your laptop, access files faster, and reduce waiting, so you can
accomplish more in the same amount of time.
It’s the fastest connection available, and it supports multiple video channels and data, without impacting
system performance. It’s easy to access and edit large uncompressed files such as videos and images on
the fly, making it ideal for dynamic on-site production.
Multitask at the highest resolution
If you need a larger, higher-resolution viewing area, this dock can help. It’s one of the first docking
stations to support two 4K Ultra HD displays, so it’s perfect for anyone working with high-bandwidth or
graphics-intensive multimedia. And, unlike most traditional docking stations, the Thunderbolt 3 dock
supports 4K resolutions (3840 x 2160p or 4096 x 2160p) at up to 60Hz when you use a single
Thunderbolt 3 display. With a faster 60Hz refresh rate, your 4K content is delivered in stunning detail,
even when you’re running resource-demanding applications.
You can extend your desktop onto two 4K monitors and stream independent content to each display. This
makes it easier to multitask when you’re working with high-definition video, CAD drawings, medical
imagery, or other complex work. Creative professionals can be more productive with the freedom to edit
4K video on one display, with a full-size video preview on the second 4K display.
Connect your peripherals with just a single cable
Using a single cable and a single port on your laptop, you can transform your Windows laptop into a full-
size workstation with access to new and legacy technologies through a number of different port types. The
dock is ideal for virtually all Windows based Thunderbolt 3 equipped laptops such as the Dell™ Precision,
Dell XPS, Asus Zenbook Pro Ux501vw, HP Zbook 15 G3, and Lenovo P50.

The dock features two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports
for connecting to Thunderbolt devices and other
peripherals that use the USB-C connector, as well
as DisplayPort video output. For dual 4K video
capability, you can use a 4K capable video adapter
to connect a second 4K display to one of the
dock’s Thunderbolt 3 USB-C peripheral ports.
Convenient connections prepare you for the future
You can keep your mobile device charged and ready to go using the dock’s convenient, always-on USB
fast-charge and sync port (compliant with USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2). Plus, it offers a variety
of other connections that are often missing from port-limited laptops, such as an extra USB-C port (5Gbps
- data only), and a Gigabit Ethernet port.
With three total USB 3.0 ports, you have plenty of ports to connect modern and legacy devices. (USB 3.0
is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1). Now, you can rest assured knowing you’re ready for the current and
next generation of universal connectivity.
The rear-panel DP and USB-C port can be used with dual monitors that support lower resolutions, such as
4K 30Hz or 1080p. Now you can connect dual monitors using new and legacy displays. StarTech.com
offers a variety of USB-C video adapters, such as HDMI and VGA.
