J5Create Usb 3.0 Mini Dock

The j5create USB 3.0 DUAL HDMI DISPLAY ADAPTER 4K+1080P adapter/dongle allowed me to set up a quadruple screen workstation with my laptop computer! Since my laptop has one 4K HDMI port - that is 2 screens. The j5create has 1 HDMI port and 1 4K HDMI port giving me screens 3 and 4. You only get to use 1 4K screen with it. The reason may be energy usage - the unit runs warm (a nice hand warmer for winter computing). Beautifully it just worked when I plugged it into my laptop USB 3.0 port. There's a saying, Once you go dual you never go back. Now I can expand my screen work area as needed with most any computer. I am very happy.

The j5create JUE301 Wireless 11n USB Mini Adapter is great. It picks up a moderate signal and is easy to install. Once I installed the driver on all of my computers (mostly legacy) I am able to hot swap the adapter when needed. Highly recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The USB 3.0 universal dock makes it convenient to have all your usb plugs in one area. Having all the connectivity ports together, makes it easier to do more work in less time. Compatible with MAC and chrome.

USB 3.0 is very fast and the connector is better designed than USB 2.0. The mini USB will become lose after sometime.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded my USB dock from the USB 3.0 dock to this Hybrid USB-C dock. Connected to my T480s. Having the USB-C (the one cable that does it ALL!) is a nice upgrade and makes my connection/disconnection that much simpler. Plus the connection is more stable than the USB 3.0 docking and the drivers seem to work seamlessly with the laptop. USB 3.0 dock was very nice but had some connectivity issues. I have experienced none of those with the Hybrid USB-C dock. And as a "lay flat" versus sitting upright, with the various cables attached it is more stable and not prone to tipping over if something tugs at one of the cables. Very much worth the upgrade for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this USB-C dock to replace older USB 3.0 dock with two monitors. Easily connects in just a few minutes. Works great for a home office that supports two Thinkpad X1's and a Dell Latitude for work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Plugable USB 3.0, USB-C Universal Dock is a really great product to have. It has helped to make my life a lot easier. No more worrying about where to plug things and how to hook them up. Everything fits and works! The universal dock makes hooking up multiple monitors a breeze. I have three monitors hooked up to it as well as my mouse and keyboard. Setup took maybe 5 minutes for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a MacBook Air a couple of years ago and have been struggling with a way to connect my various peripherals. I have purchased multiple connectors but always have a hard time locating them when needed. This docking station is a great way to add much needed ports to my MacBook all in one convenient location. The sleek look and finish paired well with my MacBook Air and fit neatly in my laptop bag. There is a non-slip grip on the top of the dock which allowed the laptop to stay in place providing an optimal position and angle for typing. On the bottom of the dock there were adhesive strips that could be used to adhere the dock to the laptop if so desired. The dock get hot when fully loaded and offers all of the basic ports one might need (3.5 mm audio headphones/microphone/audio recording, VGA, MicroSD 3.0, SD Card 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45), USB 3.0 (BC1.2)/USB 3.0/USB 2.0, 4K DisplayPort/4K HDMI, 100W PD 3.0 (no data). The wired internet port is a must for a fast and stable internet connection. It doesn’t charge your laptop but it charges your connected devices such as a cellphone or tablet. The one thing I would change would be the length of the connector cord for the USB C. The short cord makes it hard to connect and keep the laptop positioned on the dock. Once in place, the laptop will stay in place. I recommend this product as it provides ample peripheral connections, is durable and provides the quality that is expected from the Belkin name.

For thunderbolt 4, it works extremely well. It surprisingly did not work as well over USB-C 3.2 on my Linux machine running PopOS as well as the stardock USB-C dock did which was surprising to me (but maybe it shouldn't have been?) For best performance, you do want to go to their support website and install the kernel extensions and the docking manager. You may need to reboot the Mac if it's your first time connecting it. Other than that, it works exactly like you would expect it to. I used the built in display port and then an HDMI to usb-c cable that feeds into one of the thunderbolt 4 ports. On my M1 16 inch MacBook Pro, it handles both displays (and it's own built in screen if opened) exactly like you would expect it to. However, my M1 Mac mini would only ever output my first display via DP and ignored the hdmi to usb-c input. For that, I had to use the dedicated HDMI port on the mini and then it worked. Take that for what you will but it seems to have nothing to do with Caldigit (and no the DisplayLink Manager didn't fix anything either for the Mac mini despite the aforementioned stardock usb-c only dock being able to do 2 with the software running, I think it's a thunderbolt 4/M1 thing though). The construction is rock solid, the metal feels nice and it's actually pretty small for as many ports are packed into this thing. I've been trying to get it since March and it was well worth the wait

USB 3.0 the next generation.
