Features
Thunderbolt 3 Dock Turns Your MacBook Pro into a 10-Port 8K WorkstationThis Thunderbolt 3
docking station dramatically expands the potential of your MacBook Pro or Windows laptop by adding 10
ports to its Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C MFDP port. Not only does the MTB3-DOCK-03 allow you to transmit
8K video to one display or 4K video to two displays, you can also add USB peripherals, record a podcast,
connect to a Gigabit Ethernet network, charge your laptop and more, all at the same time.
Supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode for Transmitting Audio/Video SignalsBy connecting the
included Thunderbolt 3 cable to a source device that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, you can output 4K
video and digital audio to a compatible monitor, television or projector without installing special software
drivers.
Thunderbolt 3 Supports Blisteringly Fast 40 Gbps Data Transfer SpeedsThe included Thunderbolt 3
cable supports bidirectional speeds up to 40 Gbps, which is eight times faster than USB 3.0, four times
faster than Thunderbolt 1 and twice as fast as Thunderbolt 2. With dual 20 Gbps channels moving data
both directions at the same time, the MTB3-DOCK-03 is perfectly suited for 4K video streaming and
editing on two monitors, as well as transferring large RAW video or CAD files. When connected to a host
computer’s USB-C MFDP port, the cable supports 26.2 Gbps speeds (USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps +
DisplayPort 1.4 8.1G x2 Lane)
DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST) Allows Connection of Multiple DisplaysBy connecting the
included Thunderbolt 3 cable to a Thunderbolt source that supports DisplayPort MST Mode, you may
connect two displays simultaneously (DP & USB-C) at resolutions of 8K (30 Hz) plus 4K (30 Hz) or both
displays at 4K (60 Hz). This allows you to display the same image on both monitors, extend your host

desktop across both with different windows open on each, or combine both into one large display as a
video wall. Up to three total displays can be utilized if the dock is connected to a compatible laptop (DP +
USB-C + Laptop screen).
Transmits Crystal-Clear 8K and 4K Video for Professional Editing and Digital SignageBoth the
DisplayPort and Thunderbolt 3 video ports can achieve individual resolutions up to 8K (7680 x 4320) at 30
Hz, when used with a Thunderbolt 3-enabled source computer and Thunderbolt 3 cable. When used with
an MFDP-enabled source computer, the DisplayPort connector’s maximum resolution is 4K (3840 x 2160)
at 60 Hz, and the Thunderbolt port is reduced to USB 2.0 data transfer functionality only. The Thunderbolt
3 port also allows daisy-chaining up to six devices, including RAID memory and other storage devices.
USB Ports Connects Keyboards, Thumb Drives and Other USB PeripheralsTwo USB-A hub ports
and one USB-C port accept USB peripherals, such as flash drives, mice, keyboards, external hard drives
and printers. All three support lightning-fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps and are
backward compatible with previous USB generations. The USB-C port supports USB charging up to 5V
1.5A. One USB-A port supports charging speeds up to 5V 1.5A. The other supports charging up to 5V
900mA.
Accesses a Wired Gigabit Ethernet NetworkThe RJ45 port offers access to a Gigabit Ethernet network
when no Wi-Fi is available or when a wired connection offers faster speeds. Connect using a UTP cable
(sold separately), and enjoy true 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds for fast data transfers.
Connects Stereo Audio Equipment for Recording and PlaybackThis Thunderbolt 3 docking station
contains one 3.5 mm mini stereo jack, convenient for connecting speakers, headphones or a microphone
to your workstation. You can listen to music or record the latest episode of your podcast.
Allows External Memory AccessThe SD 4.0 memory card slots support Micro SD and SD cards for
transferring data to and from your connected computer or laptop. Both slots may be used at the same
time.
Included Thunderbolt 3 Cable Attaches in Either DirectionUnlike traditional USB cables that connect
in only one direction, the reversible Thunderbolt 3 male connector plugs into its port in either direction for
an instant connection every time.
Ready to Use Right from the Package, So You Can Plug and Play ImmediatelyThe plug-and-play
Thunderbolt 3 dock is specifically designed for use with the MacBook Pro or Windows laptop equipped
with a Thunderbolt 3 port. Drivers are automatically downloaded and installed during the initial dock
connection with the host computer (Note: the host must have administrative access for the drivers to
install automatically. If this is not possible the drivers can be downloaded manually via the product's web
page at tripplite.eaton.com). Simply plug the included power adapter into a standard AC outlet, and
connect the included Thunderbolt 3 cable to your computer’s Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C MFDP port.
