Cable Matters USB C Multiport Adapter (USB C Hub with DisplayPort 8K), 2X USB 2.0, Fast Ethernet, and 60W Charging in Black - Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 / Thunderbolt 3 Port Compatible with MacBook Pro

This USB-C hub is fantastic! I did a lot of research before purchasing and this seemed like it was easily the best value on the market. Most hubs required Thunderbolt for DisplayPort 1.2/MST support, but this one can do it over USB-C. That means I can drive two 24” (1920x1200) displays from the hub simply by daisy-chaining the displays via DisplayPort cable. The USB PD supplies 60W which is enough to power my Dell laptop (charges a bit slower than the OEM 65W power supply). Also provides 2x USB 2.0 ports and a 100Mbps Ethernet port. I probably won’t ever use the Ethernet port, but the USB 2.0 ports work well. It would be nice to have 3.0 or 3.1 ports, but for the price you can’t complain. The next cheapest product I found which provides USB 3.0/3.1 is the full size Monoprice USB-C dock @ $99. For now, I will just use the ports directly on the laptop for my devices that support it. I can’t praise this hub enough. It provides the convenience and features you actually need at a price point far below the docks that run from $100-300.

I spent a lot of time trying to find the most cost effective and easy way to plug in my old Apple Monitor to my new Macbook and Chromebook. They both have USB-C, but the Pixelbook does not have ThunderBolt 3.0. I'm able to get full 2650x1600 resolution with no artifacts. Pros: Only USB-C to DP adapter that works with the 30" Apple Cinema display and a Pixelbook Has Power Delivery so I can charge and display with one cable. Has an ethernet port Inexpensive compared to a Thunderbolt 3 dock Cons: Cables come out from the adapter in all directions Short USB-C cable which causes a nest of wires hanging off your laptop (can be solved by purchasing a USB-C extension cable) USB ports are only 2.0, but my setup only needs 5v power out of those ports My setup is: Cable Matters USB C Multiport Adapter → Cable Matters DP (male) to Mini DP (female) cable → Official Apple Mini Display Port to DVI-Dual Link Adapter → Apple 30" Cinema Display.

I have a DELL S2716DG monitor (which is mostly for gaming on my windows pc) that works flawlessly with this adapter. I'm very impressed with the functionality and price. I have the 13" MBP power adapter running the pass-through, keyboard and mouse in both USB ports, and then obviously display port from adapter to monitor. No lag, no hangups, no drivers required, just plug and play. The product is very lightweight, which I suppose is a plus and a minus. It doesn't feel super substantial or durable, so time will tell how it holds up months and years from now. For now, though, it works perfectly. Highly recommended. ** UPDATE: Unfortunately the PD failed after a couple of weeks. If it simply failed to charge it wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but it actually drained my mbp battery twice overnight. From 100% battery, plugged in and sleeping, to a complete drain. Not even sure how it managed to do that. But it’s pretty upsetting, since it’s bad for the battery’s health to drain it completely like that. Not happy. Stay away.

This is the one you're looking for if you own a recent MacBook or MacBook Pro that you want to connect to an external monitor. It performs exactly as advertised, providing power delivery to my 2017 MacBook Pro (only 55 W, not 60... but close enough), 4k60 video from the DisplayPort connector, and 2 USB 2.0 ports that have proven to be pretty rock solid for my use. Ive been very happy with the unit as a single-port dock for connecting my Mac to my desk. The connection seems sturdy, my monitor works without frames dropping or any other problems, and several USB peripherals connected to a hub all operate fine. I tried many other USB-C devices to try to provide what this little box does and am very impressed with the functionality (it does exactly what it advertises, which is quite rare for USB-C devices right now) and the price. The most important thing to know is to connect the power cable to the adapter first, then to connect everything else. Now, everything just works when plugged in to just one cable on my MacBook Pro.

Bought this USB-C Hub so I can get 144 Hz display rate on my larger monitor from my laptop. Worked like a champ. Gave this 4 stars because it does NOT come with a power adapter to charge devices. So if you want to use this to charge your laptop, you need a power source that will support your device. If there were options to get a power source to support charging my specific device, this would easily get 5 stars. One last thing… If you want to keep your set up neat and clean. Get something to hold the hub in place. I chose to use Velcro so I could keep the hub where I wanted to and easily plug / un-plug my device(s).

Only dongle in this price range or even close to it with 4k@60hz support. Pros: - Unique and smart implementation in regards to ports in this price range for a single cable USB-C dock. - High response rate on the DP port with 4k 60hz capability. I did a lot of browsing for a dock and this function is not found at this price (not even close). It may be a very good choice for gaming if you run a high refresh display from a gaming laptop with a Thunderbolt port like I do. Cons: - This behavior is very rare but drivers are sometimes are inconsistent; it has a built in ROM with a driver if needed but it only shows up sometimes and the display will behave erratically if you for example have another setup at work with a different dock like I do. - Power delivery is minimal, will only charge light powered laptops at 60W and this includes the USB 2.0 ports, don't expect to run anything but a mouse and keyboard (tried a laptop cooler as a test with usb pass-through but it wouldn't power the mouse connected to the cooler). - Biggest caveat for me is the network speed is only 100mb versus the more common gigabit which limits file sharing on my home network. - You need a separate charger for power delivery to your laptop, but that's normal for most USB C dongles. For reference, I use it with my Lenovo T480 and an MSI gaming laptop (no power delivery on the MSI).

Most USB-C dongles use the DisplayPort alt-mode of the USB-C specification to handle the display outputs, but usually use internal converters to HDMI. Unfortunately, they only wire the pins for HDMI 1.4, which can only run 4k displays at 30 Hz. This is due to the limited pins in a USB-C cable. If you want to run DisplayPort or HDMI 2.0, then you can't have USB 3.0 (unless you use thunderbolt). I needed to run this on a Lenovo Thinkpad with only 1 USB-C port, so having USB-PD passthrough was a much so that I could charge while having a monitor plugged in. This is the only dongle I found, with DP, and USB-PD passthrough. The 2 USB 2.0 ports are an added bonus, and work for a mice and keyboard. The Ethernet also runs from the USB bus, and is a 100Mbit one. It is picked up by the RTL Linux Kernel driver (though sometimes it disconnects after you suspend/resume the laptop). Overall, it works for my use!

Ein USB-C Port replicator oder Dock zu finden das volle Ausflösung, HDR und Freesync unterstützt ist nicht leicht bis eigentlich unmöglich. Dieser Hub kann es! Da die Übertragungsrate von USB-C neben dem vollen Displayport-Signal nur noch USB 2.0 durchlässt und CableMatters nicht zaubern kann, ist eben nur noch ein USB 2.0 Hub integriert. Für Maus, Tastatur und Webcam reicht das aber aus. Sehr nervig ist die Kabellänge die einfach viel zu kurz ist. Ein abnehmbares Kabel wäre wirklich wünschenswert gewesen - es gibt durchaus USB-C Kabel, die die volle Bandbreite über mehr als 5 cm übertragen können.

Due to the fact that this dock only has USB 2.0 ports, it means more bandwidth can be allocated to the video, so this is the first dock that I have been able to find which will support the full capabilities of my monitor (Asus Rog XG349C). It has been working flawlessly with both my Macbook Air M1 as well as my Razer Blade 14 (3070 model). The only downside is the form factor is a bit ugly on the desk. I have tried extending it with USB C cables so I can mount it under my desk and only have the one cable above my desk, but often see intermittent blanking of the display with any 10GBps cables I have used. More recently have tried a more extensive USB 4 cable and while it's still infrequent, the problem has been coming back every now and then. Without the extension cable in the equation, it never happens with the dock plugged in directly however.

I just wanted to thank Cable Matters customer service for directing me to this product. I've tried All Dell, Lenovo, Pluggable, etc. TB4 and USB4 docks to get my AMD 6800U Laptop to work with the docking station, but none of them worked. The laptop has USB4 and USB3.2 with USB-C. I'm happy to report that this dock or adapter works with Neo G9 monitor at full 240hz without any problems. This means this dock supports 4lane DP with DSC. Also, the Realtek LAN adapter is showing its GBE, not 100mbit. Device Manager shows Realtek 8152 which is GBE. It might be bottlenecked by the USB 2.0 throughput but it has the hardware to saturate the USB 2.0. Lastly, Power Deliver works with 65w charger that Laptop came with. My next purchase was going to be Caldigit to try but this does everything I need. Highly recommend!

I have a Dell 49" ultrawide monitor that supports display output via usb c (with power delivery), dvi, hdmi, dp. It runs at an awkward 5k resolution (5120x1440). It's a beautiful monitor but, its a pain when you need to share a screen (apps and web apps) via video conferencing so, I need a 2nd monitor because my laptop only supports display via usb c. This solved multiple problems. Usb-c from the monitor to the hub provides power to the hub and connected usb devices. DP from the monitor to the hub provides display out-in. Connecting the usb-c from the dock to the laptop provides power to the laptop, display at 5k and access to 2 connected devices that also require power (headset blu-tooth usb connector and webcam). Works as advertised.
