Eliminate the confusion surrounding the Type-C connector with a dock that
adapts to the interface it is connected to.
Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C share the same connector, and up until now
Thunderbolt 3 devices have only worked on Thunderbolt 3 host laptops,
creating confusion for many users.
The USB-C HDMI Dock breaks this mould by utilizing the latest Thunderbolt
technology to adapt itself to your laptop. It is essentially a full Thunderbolt 3
(40Gb/s) device that has the latest Thunderbolt advancements in order to be
compatible with non-Thunderbolt 3 laptops that feature USB-C. In addition,
the USB-C HDMI Dock is also compatible with Thunderbolt 4 computers.
Now everyone can benet from a feature rich dock without compromising
on connectivity and compatibility.
