Installation
Notes:
• Docking station must be connected to a dedicated Thunderbolt 3 port
to function. It will not function with a standard USB-C port.
• Supports the connection of two monitors at the same time: one via
DisplayPort and a second via HDMI. See Multi-Monitor Requirements
section for details.
• See Optional Accessories section for suggested cables.
• When the dock is in self-powered mode, both USB-A ports support
full USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds up to 10 Gbps. When using bus-powered
mode, one port supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) and the other will
support USB 2.0 speeds on a first-come, first-serve basis.
• When the docking station is connected to the USB-C port on the
host computer and to a network using UTP patch cabling, a network
connection will be established automatically. If no connection is made,
one can be established manually by going to the host computer’s
network settings. For example, on a Mac, navigate to the Network
section in System Preferences, click the “Assist Me” button to get to
the Network Setup Assistant, and then follow the prompts to establish
a connection.
1. Connect the docking station’s built-in Thunderbolt 3 plug to
the Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer or laptop.
2. Connect the DisplayPort output to a DisplayPort monitor with
a user-supplied DisplayPort cable.
AND/OR
3. Connect the HDMI output to an HDMI monitor with a user-
supplied HDMI cable.
Note: The DisplayPort and HDMI outputs can be used to transmit
video simultaneously. See Multi-Monitor Requirements section for
details.

Installation
4. Connect an external speaker, microphone, headset or other
audio device to the 3.5 mm audio jack.
5. Connect up to two USB peripherals to the USB-A ports.
6. Connect the RJ45 jack to a wired Gigabit Ethernet network
with a user-supplied UTP patch cable.

Multi-Monitor Requirements
The MTB3-DOCK-04 supports the connection of a DisplayPort
monitor and an HDMI monitor simultaneously for dual 8K + 4K
video via Thunderbolt 3 technology. The following limitations must
be taken into account when connecting multiple monitors at the
same time:
Does the Source Computer Support DisplayPort 1.4
Alternate Mode?
When connecting to a Thunderbolt 3 source that supports
DisplayPort Alt Mode, the EDID information of both connected
monitors will be read by the computer and appear as separate
displays that can be shown in mirror mode or extended mode.
The DisplayPort output can achieve video resolutions up to
8K (7680 x 4320) @ 30 Hz when used with a Thunderbolt
3-enabled source computer and 8K DisplayPort cable. The HDMI
output supports UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) @ 60 Hz when used
with a 4K HDMI cable. Both ports can be used simultaneously for
dual 8K + 4K resolutions.
Does the Source Computer Support a Thunderbolt
3 Connection?
The MTB3-DOCK-04 can be used to transmit video from source
computers that have a Thunderbolt 3 port. The docking station
will not work with a standard USB-C port. Be sure your computer
or laptop includes a dedicated Thunderbolt 3 port prior to use.

USB-A ports support USB 3.2 Gen 2
speeds up to 10 Gbps.
USB-A 3.2 Gen 2
(Bus-Powered Mode)
Bus-Powered Mode means the docking
station is only being powered by the
host computer. Only one USB-A port will
support USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds up to
10 Gbps. The other will support USB 2.0
on a first-come, first-serve basis.
