Create a Dual-4K 60Hz Workstation

Great for video editing and other Ultra HD tasks, this dual-4K monitor docking station supports 40Gbps speeds and 4K resolution on two monitors.

Run resource-demanding applications on two independent displays, without draining system resources.

Connect your laptop to:

  • 1 x 4K monitor via the DP Port  
  • 1 x 4K monitor via the TB3 USB-C Port (1.8 m cable included)

OR

  • 1 x 5K monitor via the DP & TB3 USB-C port

Easy Installation & Deployment

Simply connect the TB3 dock to your laptop with included TB3 cable and start working immediately. No time-consuming driver installations are required.

With three USB 3.0 ports, the Thunderbolt 3 docking station gives you plenty of ports for the latest and legacy devices.

Connect USB devices like flash drives using the two Type-A ports.

Keep your mobile device charged with the dock’s Fast-Charge and sync port. Connect a USB-C device with the USB-C port (5Gbps - data only).

Plenty of Charging Power

The Thunderbolt 3 docking station features a 170W power adapter supporting Power Delivery to power and charge (up to 85W) your laptop, while powering all your devices connected to the dock.

This eliminates the need to use two separate power adapters for your laptop and dock.

    So far so good! An all around solid product and experience!
    I purchased the Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station - with Power Delivery (USB PD) - 85W Charging - Windows / MacBook Pro - Dual-4K - USB C Dock - Laptop Dock to use with my new Apple MacBook Pro 15.4 Inch 256GB with Touch Bar and Magic-Mouse-2 (2.6GHz i7, 16GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 450) Space Gray, Late 2016 (w/touch bar-late 2016) and couldn’t be happier…finally! At $329.99 it is pricey but worth it. I originally went with a cheaper docking station (for $179) which I had to send back because the USB failed to work within 24 hours of getting it set up.Take a look at my setup in the pictures below. I’m using a ASUS PB328Q 32" WQHD 2560x1440 4ms DisplayPort HDMI DVI Eye Care Monitor as my main monitor, connected via the USB-C to DisplayPort cable that came with the docking station. I’m getting 2560 x 1440 resolution in landscape mode. I’ve also got an Asus LCD VP228H Gaming, 21,5'' LED,1ms,DC 100mil.,HDMI,DVI,1920x1080, speakers display as a secondary monitor connected using an gofanco ACTIVE DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (Black) - Up to Ultra HD 4K @ 60Hz, Eyefinity Compatible, MULTIPLE SCREENS Supported for Gaming. I’m getting 1080 x 1920 resolution in portrait mode.I purchased a Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Cable (6.5 Feet / 2 Meters) - F2CD085bt2M-BLK (which I got at a ridiculous price of $25 because BestBuy marked it down to the wrong price-these will normally cost you between $50-$90 depending on the brand) in order to place my laptop off to the side of my desk. The cable that came with this dock (and the previous one I purchased) were both one foot in length. If you have limited desk space, it’s worth investing in a longer cable. But make sure you’ve purchased the “right” cable. Not any USB-C to USB-C cable will work. You need to check with the manufacturer of your docking station. This one specifically required the Thunderbolt 3 cable which offers 40 Gbps speed and power delivery up to 60W (which keeps my MacBook charged just fine).To the rear USB 3.0 port, I attached an Anker 7-Port USB 3.0 Aluminum Data Hub with 20W Power Adapter and 3 3ft Cables for Mac, PC, USB Flash Drives and Other Devices which I’m using to connect my Logitech HD Laptop Webcam C615 with Fold-and-Go Design, 360-Degree Swivel, 1080p Camera, Logitech Headset 981-000337 Wireless H800, Apple Wired Keyboard with Numeric Keypad Compatible with Mac OS X v.10.6.8 & later Versions (MB110LL/B), iPhone 6s Plus and keeping my Apple Watch Series 1 Smartwatch 38mm, Space Gray Aluminum Case/ Black Sport Band (Newest Model) (Certified Refurbished) charged while sitting at the desk. I will also be plugging in my Seagate Backup Plus Hub 6TB External Desktop Hard Drive Storage STEL6000100 to the hub for my media and backup. I was originally considering a high speed (7200 RPM) Thunderbolt 3 drive, but they are really pricey (picked up the Seagate at Costco for $120) and I decided that I really didn’t need the high-speed interface. I’ve also got a pair of cheap Logitech speakers connected to the headphone jack on the back. They work great as well. No hum whatsoever. Just remember that you’ll need to select the “USB audio CODEC” as yourI also have a CONMDEX USB C to Lightning Cable,Nylon Braided Typ C 3.1 Male to Lightning Data Sync&Charge Cord for New MacBook/ Chromebook Pixel/ iPhone 7/7 Plus/Samsung Galaxy S8/8 Plus (Silver,3.3ft) that I can use for media data transfer to my iPhone or Apple iPad Pro 10.5-inch (256GB, Wi-Fi, Space Gray) 2017 Model. The front USB-C port on this unit makes it convenient to do that sort of thing, or plug in my Guamar USB-C Super Drive Aluminum External Slot-in DVD/CD RW DVD Rom Drive Writer Burner for the latest Macbook/MacBook Pro/ASUS U306UA/ASUS/DELL Latitude (Silver) for ripping movies from my library or burning backups quickly. BTW, while I agree that you shouldn’t put anything on top of this unit (as the manufacturer recommends due to heat concerns) I have not found the unit to heat up much at all.Because it is in the picture, I'll also mention the HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 Wireless All-in-One Photo Printer with Mobile Printing, Instant Ink that I just purchased. It's worked solidly so far. It's a great combination of high speed and high-quality printing. I've got it connected via WiFi.The tech support from StarTech was great. They are available 24 hours a day and they are quick to respond. I assume these guys are outsourcing the support folks, but whomever they have answering questions has access to their knowledge-base and makes getting questions answer far easier than trying to find the answer yourself.All in all, this has been one of the better items I’ve purchased in a while, so far. It’s only been a few days. If anything happens I’ll be sure to update the post.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Third time is a charm
    Reviewed in Canada on February 1, 2020
    I previously bought 2 other "USB C Docks", hoping they would be able to drive my simple dual monitor setup: 4K@60hz and 2K@60hz. I tried both the WavLink and OWC USB C units. They could drive both monitors - but only at 30hz. Too bad. These docks cost only ~$100.

    When looking at true "Charging Thunderbolt 3 Docks", I had a choice between this StarTech and OWC. Expecting that I might continue have issues, I started with the lowest price unit on Amazon: the StarTech. To my delight, it works 100%. Charging is ~70W with all devices running. Both monitors work @60hz.

    PROS:
    1. Laptop charging with single cable.
    2. True dual 60hz monitor support.
    3. Runs cool.

    CONS:
    1. Lowest priced Mac compatible Thunderbolt 3 charging dock I could find but still costs twice what I think is fair.
    2. Needs good display cables. It might be true for other dual 4K display docks - this is just my experience. I had to buy a new USB C to HDMI cable to replace one that I had. When I upgrade my second monitor to 4K in the future, I should be able to use the supplied USB C to DisplayPort cable.

    This dock has only 2 USB Type A ports. That's not a problem for me. I use an additional powered USB A hub (the kind that now cost <$15). This reduces the load on the StartTech dock so it can provide more laptop charging power. Still just one cable to my Mac. I am happy.

    Update: Upgraded to 2x 4K thunderbolt displays. Rock steady display using supplied USB C cable. Remember: You will need additional Male-Male Display Port cable for maximum performance.
