Description
High-Performance Plugable Thunderbolt 3 Dock Experience high-performance expansion of your Thunderbolt 3-enabled Mac or compatible Windows Thunderbolt 3 system and gain 9 ports of connectivity with the Plugable Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station (TBT3-UD1-85W). Display - Connect a single display up to 4K 60Hz (4096x2160 @ 60Hz) via the integrated DisplayPort++ port. Thunderbolt 3's massive 40Gbps bandwidth enables you to run your high resolution display connected through the dock at the full native performance of your system's graphics processor while also enabling access to your wired network and existing USB peripherals. Ethernet - Supports connection to wired Gigabit Ethernet networks using the integrated Intel i210 Gigabit network adapter. Audio ports - Provides 3.5mm analog audio input and output jacks for connecting stereo headphones and a microphone. USB ports - Provides two extra USB 3.0 (5Gbps) ports and one USB-C (5Gbps) port for device connectivity (Front USB-C port does not support Thunderbolt devices or VESA DisplayPort Alternate Mode video output). Compatible with Apple Thunderbolt 3 systems and certain Windows systems which have Thunderbolt 3. Some Windows Thunderbolt 3 systems may work, but not support all of the functionality offered by this dock. Please see important details regarding system compatibility below. The ability to add a second display depends on design decisions made by your system manufacturer and requires additional hardware, sold separately. Docking station will not function if attached to a non- Thunderbolt 3 capable USB-C port. High Speed 85W Charging When connected to a compatible host system, the dock can provide up to 85W of charging power. Please note that not all Thunderbolt 3 systems can be charged via their Thunderbolt 3 ports. For example, high-end workstation class laptops may not be able to charge via Thunderbolt 3 High-speed connectivity to other Thunderbolt 3 Devices, or add a second display Gain an extra Thunderbolt 3 port to connect your high-performance peripherals that need 40Gbps of speed or add an extra display with purchase of a Plugable USB-C adapter. If you have a Thunderbolt 3 host system which supports two video outputs, a separate purchase of one of the following Plugable adapter cables or dongles is required in order to connect a second display: USBC-DP, USBC-HDMI-CABLE, USBC- VGA-CABLE, USBC-HDMI, USBC-DVI, USBC-VGA Flexible Connectivity The TBT3-UD1-85W dock has a built-in DisplayPort++ output to be used with DisplayPort monitors. Also included is a passive DisplayPort to HDMI adapter so that you can connect a HDMI monitor. The included 0.8 meter long (2.6 ft) 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 cable is 0.3 meters longer (1 foot) than the 0.5 meter cables included with other Thunderbolt 3 docks. Read more Compatibility Thunderbolt 3 is a powerful technology, and system manufacturers have substantial discretion in how they implement its various technical elements and features. As a result, compatibility information is complex, and some currently available Thunderbolt 3 systems do not support all the features offered by this Thunderbolt 3 docking station. System manufacturer must have physically routed two DisplayPort lines to the Thunderbolt 3 port. Currently all Thunderbolt 3 systems from Dell and Apple systems using an Intel processor meet this requirement. Apple systems with an Apple M1 processor support a single display onlyNot all Thunderbolt 3 systems can be charged via their Thunderbolt 3 port. Please check with your system manufacturer to determine your system’s charging capabilities.

A: Yes, the dock will provide up to 85W of power to charge a compatible Thunderbolt 3 host system when the Thunderbolt 3 cable is connected to the dock's charging Thunderbolt 3 port (indicated with the laptop icon above it). Please note that not all Thunderbolt 3 laptops can be charged via Thunderbolt 3. Q: What does the white LED light on the front of the dock indicate? A: The presence of the white LED light on the front of the dock indicates a Thunderbolt 3 connection to the host system has been established. The white light will only be present when the dock is connected to a Thunderbolt 3 host. It is normal and expected that this light will not be present when the dock is not connected to a host laptop. Q: Can I use the USB-C charging cable that came with my laptop instead of the Thunderbolt 3 cable included with the dock? A: No, USB-C only cables are not compatible with Thunderbolt 3 functionality. A Thunderbolt 3 cable must be used in order for the device to function when attached to a Thunderbolt 3 port. Q: Are there any compatibility issues between specific 4K monitors and the TBT3-UD1-85W dock? A: Certain monitors may be incompatible or limited to 4K at a 30Hz refresh rate when connected through the dock's native DisplayPort output (this is an interoperability issue between the monitor display hardware and a chip in the dock; this issue is not limited to Plugable Thunderbolt 3 docking stations). Asus PB287Q, PQ321QDell P2715Q, P2415Q, UP3216QLG 31MU97C-B, LG 24UD58-B, LG 27UD58-B, LG 27UD68-PPhilips 288P6LJEBSharp PN-K321Viewsonic VX2475Smhl-4K, VX4380-4KSamsung U28E590D This can be worked around in some cases by changing the monitor's internal settings to use "DP 1.1", which will limit the display to 4K 30Hz. The included passive DisplayPort to HDMI adapter can also be used, which will also limit resolution to 4K 30Hz. Alternatively, the display can be connected using a Plugable USB-C to DP or USB-C to HDMI adapter to connect the display to the dock’s downstream Thunderbolt 3 port (as opposed to the DisplayPort output within the dock) which may allow 4K 60Hz functionality on affected displays. Q: Is there a recommended DisplayPort cable for use with this dock? A: We suggest using DisplayPort cables which meet the DP 1.2 specification, and cables of the shortest length possible will generally produce the best results. Plugable does not recommend cables over six feet in length.
