The TBT3-UD1-85W connects to a compatible Thunderbolt 3 Apple or Windows system using the included 0.8 meter / 2.6 ft long 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 cable. The included cable is longer than what most other manufacturers included with their docking stations, so it provides greater flexibility when arranging things on your desk.
The TBT3-UD1-85W has a built-in DisplayPort video output for connecting a single DisplayPort display. Plugable includes a passive DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to allow for the connection of a HDMI display if necessary (up to 4K 30Hz), an additional accessory that other manufacturers require you to purchase separately.
The TBT3-UD1-85W dock provides a second ‘downstream’ Thunderbolt 3 port that can be used to connect additional Thunderbolt 3 devices or connect a second external display (when used with a compatible system) in conjunction with a separate purchase of a USB-C video cable or adapter like our USB-C to HDMI or our USB-C to HDMI cable.
The TBT3-UD1-85W’s three additional 5Gbps USB 3.0 ports allow for the connection of external USB peripherals, such as a keyboard or mouse, or external storage drives and mobile devices. The dock provides one USB-A port and one USB-C port on the front of the unit and one USB-A port on the back in order to provide physical flexibility when connecting external USB devices.
The TBT3-UD1-85W’s Intel-based Ethernet port provides high-performance wired network capability, while the two analog audio input and output jacks on the back allow you to connect stereo headphones or a microphone, ideal for video conferencing setups.
The dock’s space-saving horizontal orientation and audio port’s location on the back of the unit puts the focus on having most of the cables routed behind the device, which provides for a ‘clean’ desktop setup.
