Product Description
Display and Power Delivery Notes
1. Actual display support depends upon host. Please review the display specifications for your specific host system to determine the maximum supported resolution, refresh rate, color depth, and number of external displays over Thunderbolt.
2. USB 3 port supports bus-powered drives that require up to 0.9A (900mA) of power and self-powered drives.
3. USB 3 port provides 0.9A (900mA) of power. This will charge devices requiring 1.0A at slower rate than factory power adapter. Larger devices like tablets requiring 2.1A will not charge. There is no power supplied to USB 3 (or USB 2) port while host computer is turned off or in “sleep” mode.

However, a word of caution for potential buyers: while the dock has two USB ports, I'd advise against connecting USB hubs to them. In my experience, doing so can lead to some unexpected behavior or reduced functionality. The dock seems best suited for direct device connections.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a reliable and efficient way to connect multiple displays and a couple of USB devices directly, this dock is a solid choice. Just steer clear of plugging in hubs, and you should have a smooth experience!

After dealing with a Rube Golberg type setup with an Anker USBc HDMI converter for one monitor and plugging the other into the included HDMI port and then having another for USB A and none for Ethernet (Parer from the magnet port) - I bought this. Boom both LG 4K monitors worked after plugging in and Ethernet is fast (980 MB/sec) and the USBA camera works great. And all at a reasonable price. No tech setup - just plug-n-go!
<Update - after having this dock for a week>. THis is not a good dock for pugging in and having it all work, and unplugging and having to come back - without rebooting. Still working with OWC Support, but Apple does not make it easy to have two monitors. I still like the 60 hertz for both monitors, and the ethernet stays pegged at 990 mbs. So when it works, it is bester than by old solution, but plugging in after rebooting makes it less that satisfying for me overall.
Had ordered a cheaper unit first, but returned it. That unit worked fine for mirror mode and would extend to one monitor. However, monitor #3 would only mirror monitor #2, not extend as it should. If you goggle, you with find that the third monitor not showing in the MacOS settings is a common problem with other 2-port HDMI adapters. I didn't know this and lost time figuring it out. After getting the right adapter, was relieved it works.
Having three screens is great! Now I wish for 4 screens....
