DOCK MACBOOK USB C DRIVER
This seems to be the most thorough explanation of a dock by a vendor yet – they support Windows, Mac, AND Linux with driver downloads available for the Realtek LAN port. The ensuing table details the capabilities when connected to both a Thunderbolt host as well as a USB C host. These ports support up to applicable DP1.4a HBR3, HDR, MST, and DSC DisplayPort options to 8K resolution.” “The DOCK221 has two DisplayPort++ (DP) ports for display monitor connection(s).
DOCK MACBOOK USB C FULL
The HP G5 did not support DP 1.4 in my configuration, but this Targus should support the full range of DP 1.4 capabilities, including USB C AltMode: This dock appears to FINALLY be what I’ve been looking for. In the meantime, I have found a really detailed AppNote on the Targus DOCK221USZ – I got a thread in their support forum started so you can verify. That will ONLY be on the UDZ – both are Titan Ridge docks, but the UDC1 has DisplayPort 1.2 ports while the UDZ will have 1.4.
DOCK MACBOOK USB C 1080P
*USB-C only host systems will have reduced functionality:Ĭompatible Multi-function DisplayPort over USB Type-C (MFDP USB-C) Windows systems without Thunderbolt 3 will be limited to 5Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) performance and:Ģx Extended Displays up to 4K 60Hz (DP 1.4 host with Display Stream Compression (DSC)Ģx Extended Displays up to 4K 60Hz + 4K 30Hz (DP 1.4 host, no DSC)Ģx Extended Displays up to 1080P 60Hz (DP 1.2)ĭan – and to others searching for the same kind of solution – the Plugable TBT3-UDC1 DOES NOT support USB-C AltMode with 4k 60Hz.
DOCK MACBOOK USB C PRO
I’d get the new Dock 2, but I have a Macbook Pro I want to use with the same dock:
Here is from the Plugable details page – even without DSC, it should be able to do gigabit ethernet(which is the Intel adapter, not Realtek) and 5GBps while driving 4k60 – that would be excellent. I have a Plugable cable that I had on the G2 dock to lengthen it and will switch them. 8m cables meet the spec – I may try changing the cable to that and see if that helps. For the G5 dock, I connected with it’s cable – which is interesting, because it has a 1m cable, but Plugable says that only. The monitor is the Dell U3219Q and for USB – C direct connect to it, I am using the cable that came with the monitor. I have the Surface Laptop 3, Core i7, 16GB RAM. Happy to share – might help others in the future.
List of TB3 / USB-C cross-compatible docks:ĭocks below are based on the Intel Titan Ridge JHL7440 chipset (or equivalent) and are cross compatible between TB3 and USB-C laptops.

The proprietary Microsoft dock works great on Surface, but won’t work on anything else. A regular USB-C dock will work for most newer PC’s but you don’t get the best performance (transfer speeds and high resolution multi-monitor support) on more capable systems like MacBook Pros. What docking station should you get?Ī ThunderBolt 3 (TB3) dock will work best on a modern MacBook, but most of the features won’t work on PCs that only have USB-C. Or suppose you have a Surface and your partner/spouse has a MacBook Pro and you share a desk/workstation. Many of your users use multiple high-resolution monitors. Some users prefer MacBooks, some prefer Dell/HP/Lenovo, and others prefer Surface. Suppose you are an IT admin responsible for building out a fleet of laptops for your company in 2020.
