Plugable Thunderbolt 4 Hub | 60W Laptop Charging | 3X Thunderbolt 4 Ports | Dual 4K/Single 8K Displays | USB4 Compatibility - TBT4-HUB3C

I needed it to connect three monitors since my thunderbolt port is in bad condition and it works perfectly.

Works great and a great price.

As with all things USB-C and Thunderbolt related the varying capabilities between your computer(s), dock, and devices will mean that almost nothing can be a silver bullet. That said, this little device is very close in a sleek package with the added touch of a USB-C to HDMI adapter.The Good- Includes a USB-C to HDMI adapter which is compatible with the dock ports (see below). But this does not make up for the $40 price difference.- If you have Thunderbolt 3 or USB/Thunderbolt 4 this will mostly likely connect as many devices as your computer can support*. Unique to this type of hub/dock is the support for multiple extended displays for Mac computers.- Connected displays do not need to be Thunderbolt which means passive adapters (such as a Type-C to HDMI or DisplayPort dongles) are supported - even for multiple extended displays on Mac computers.- Metal body gives the dock a premium feel.- Website gives detailed specs and compatibility details.Be Aware (if this is the right device for you these won't be a big deal)- This is only a USB Hub with Charging, you get no other dock features such as a network or audio connections.- 60W charging for the upstream computer is fairly standard for this type of device, but could be higher.- Downstream devices support 15W (the minimum for USB-C & Thunderbolt) as is common with such hubs.- There are no mounting options for the dock (as is common).- This uses an external 20V power adapter with a barrel plug. This adapter is bigger than the dock itself.- The dock cannot be powered by the upstream computer or any devices, it must have power from the 20V barrel plug.The Bad- Price is hovering around $40 more than similar docks.- This device does not provide a multi-stream connection for legacy USB-C devices (i.e. non-Thunderbolt USB 3). This means that when using DP-ALT mode only one monitor can be connected regardless of the resolution or your devices support*. Note that this is common for all devices of this type (since they are likely using the same chips internally), but since it is a common functionality in other USB-C docks I consider this a negative.- Of the docks of a similar size this is slightly thicker and has an odd curve to its top and bottom side.- Lacks any USB-A port as is common in all other docks of a similar type and size.

The product did what I needed it to do. I wanted to hook up my AR glasses to my Pixel 9 Phone and still be able to charge it. The Hub was powered by the wall mount and I connected the AR glasses and phone through its ample USB C 4.0 connections.

Excellent headlines. I love devices that make me more efficient.

Produvt works well. However. it is poorly designed. Heavy and bulky PSU with heavy cable and front location for power connector. I regret that I did not read reviews before ordering and receiving the product. Certainly not suitable for portability. This could have been a 5 star product iif it was implemented with a USB-C and smaller (lightre) PSU. Very disappointing.

Solved a problem for a Blackmagic adapter that wouldn’t work on USB 3.1 and required Thunderbolt.

Item was well packaged, communication was great, item met expectations.
