FAQs

What are the main video output capabilities of the Tripp Lite MTB3-DOCK-04?
The MTB3-DOCK-04 offers impressive video output capabilities, supporting up to 8K (7680 x 4320) at 30Hz through DisplayPort and 4K (3840 x 2160) at 60Hz through HDMI 2.0. When using both ports simultaneously, it can support dual 4K displays at 60Hz. Users can display the same content on both monitors, extend their desktop across screens, or create a video wall setup. Note that 8K resolution requires the host device to support DisplayPort 1.3.
What is the power delivery capacity of this docking station?
The docking station features a USB-C Power Delivery port that provides up to 60W of power (20V 3A), sufficient for charging and powering connected devices like MacBooks or Chromebooks. The dock operates at optimal specifications when using the PD charging port, and can simultaneously power both the host device and the dock itself when connected to the device's AC wall charger.
What are the data transfer speeds supported by the Thunderbolt 3 connection?
The Thunderbolt 3 connection supports blazing-fast bidirectional speeds up to 40 Gbps, which is 8x faster than USB 3.0, 4x faster than Thunderbolt 1, and 2x faster than Thunderbolt 2. It features dual 20 Gbps channels moving data in both directions simultaneously, making it ideal for video streaming, editing across dual monitors, and transferring large files like RAW video or CAD files.
What USB ports are available and what speeds do they support?
The dock features two USB-A hub ports that support USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps when the dock is powered via the USB-C PD port. In bus-powered mode, one port supports 10 Gbps while the other operates at USB 2.0 speeds on a first-come, first-serve basis. All ports are backward compatible with previous USB generations and can connect peripherals like flash drives, mice, keyboards, and external hard drives.
What networking capabilities does the MTB3-DOCK-04 offer?
The docking station includes an RJ45 port that provides access to Gigabit Ethernet networks, supporting true 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds for fast data transfers. This wired connection option is ideal when Wi-Fi isn't available or when users need more reliable and faster network speeds for their work.
