Macbook Not Charging Usb C Dock

I'm using this dock with a MacBook Pro 15" Retina with TouchBar, a MacBook Pro 13" Retina with TouchBar, and a MacBook Air M1 with Apple Silicon. They all work correctly. The Ethernet is detected as 1Gb (measured as 743Mbps down, 810Mbps up), the HDMI is running 4K @ 30Hz, the USB3 ports work correctly, and my MacBooks charge if I have an Apply power brick plugged into the dock's USB-C port. The only beef I have with this dock is that the USB-C cable that goes to the laptop is a bit short. Note: it all still works if there ISN'T a power brick connected to the dock.

Supplies power to my new MacBook along with connectivity for a 2nd screen, several disks and two USB (A) hubs supporting other external drives and devices. My only wish was that there was a utility to eject the dock to quickly carry away the MacBook. I have disconnected/reconnected the dock without any issues, but never feel comfortable.

I have the new 2016 MacBook Pro. I bought a OWC dock to deal with the USB-C only connection capabilities. Using the dock I could not get the computer to recognize my ilok licenses. I could have save a lot of money if I had purchased the adapter first because it works perfectly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an expansion dock for my MacBook that allows a 4K monitor and multiple USB devices to share one USB-C port on the MacBook, as well as provide AC power over the same single port. Despite the claims of the expansion dock manufacturer (Note: not a Belkin device), the USB-C cable they provided to connect the dock to the MacBook created persistent video sync problems with the 4K monitor. After months of frustration, I purchased this Belkin cable which immediately resolved all video sync problems. I recommend it highly to anyone using a similar configuration or needing a high quality, high performance USB-C cable.

I purchased the Xcellon Portside Dock to expand the functionality of my 2020 MacBook Air. Disappointingly, the MacBook Air only provides two Thunderbolt 3 ports for peripherals, one of which I usually have connected to the power supply. In addition, the Thunderbolt 3 ports are not compatible with the older USB connectors that I used with my older MacBook Pro, making it impossible for me to connect my MackBook Air to the peripherals I regularly use with USB connectors. The Xcellon Portside Dock allowes me to connect to my MacBook Air using those older USB connectors. In addition to that, the Xcellon Portside Dock has an SD card slot, which I use to download photos to my MacBook Air. In short, I find that the Xcellon Portside Dock makes my MacBook Air a more versatile and functional machine.

This is a superb TB4 dock at a reasonable price. I needed it for WFH setup to drive 2 external displays for a Macbook Pro 16 (M1 Pro) and wanted the convenience of a single cable connector and a lot of expansion slots. I use 2 USB-C to Displayport cables to drive 2 Dell QHD displays. I'm very satisfied with the performance of this dock, but will upgrade to 4K at some point which this will also support. I still have a spare TB4 port on the dock to which I will connect a TB3 or 4 SSD in the future. The dock also charges the MBP 16 efficiently with its 96W and the included TB4 cable. The other USB ports come in handy for some older devices and low voltage charging. I haven't tried the SD slot or headphone ports so far. The ethernet port functions well - no issues. If there's one fault I had to point to, it's the lack of a power button. Would be nice to have when undocking, but this is a minor issue. Also wish the host port would have been located on the rear or a side. Overall, this is an excellent performing dock. It looks great and feels fairly robust. Lastly, the shipping to Canada was fast and included options to have taxes/duties paid up front - very convenient! I recommend this dock to any Macbook user looking to expand video and other connectivity via Thunderbolt.

This dock adds all the connections I need on my little MacBook Air. Two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, HDMI, and SD Card and microSD Card slots is what that computer was missing, and this provides them all in a simple and easy to use solution. The two USB-C ports are far enough apart that I can provide power through one, and use the other for my 256GB Kingston DataTraveler Max that is too wide to use in the computer when powered. The dock fits snugly in the computer and doesn't stick out too much, and is easy to remove when I don't need it. My only wish was that it had been available in gold to match my computer.

I'm using this dock with a M1 Macbook Air . The machine only have two TB/USB ports, so for using the machine is esencial to be able to connect the things that you ususally need. This dock just work, with the ports that I need. What else can you ask for?

I had been using an Anker USB-C 5-in-1 hub with my 2019 MacBook Pro, but the HDMI output was so-so, and I really wanted to do away with the extra ethernet dongle I had for hardwiring, and the stupid short cable on it was always a pain because it was RIGHT THERE beside the laptop. The CalDigit dock fit the bill as a replacement after comparing a variety of other models, and the fact it has Power Delivery (a must!), dual HDMI outputs of 4K @ 60Hz, as well as enough USB C and A ports to suit my needs. I like the fact it has Thunderbolt *to* the computer to handle the bandwidth of all these ports, and the lower cost of not having TB ports on the dock itself, as I still have 3 on the computer if I really need them.

I wanted to use my older Thunderbolt 2 dock from OWC with my new MacBook Pro that has the USB-C connector. This adapter works perfectly for that and allowed me to connect ethernet, monitor, keyboard, drives, and so on with just 1 connector.
