Works on Cal-Digit Docking Stations to convert DisplayPort to HDMI

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The docking stations have made it as easy as could be to make our laptops go onto our monitors.

This is another great docking station from Startech.com. Solid build and great ports, including an SD card reader that I really love. This dock worked perfectly for my Windows-based notebook, after installing all the necessary drivers. The issues came up while testing with a Macbook Pro, but I don’t entirely hold the Dock to blame. The issue came from the MacOS version; I upgraded to the very latest version and the chipset isn’t fully supported. Look at the website (support tab) and heed readme files and driver information bulletins, if you are the sort to not jump at the latest updates, you might not have any issues. I fully believe this is a temporary situation and will be solved in short order. This is a solid docking station with a 60 watt power supply, something I think is essential in a one-cable docking solution. Video output is excellent on both HDMI and DP. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review

I think I bought 5 different docking stations before I found one that I could connect multiple USB3 external drives and actually use them. There are a few potential improvements, but they're minor; I'd rather not need an active HDMI adapter, my phone won't sync when connected to the front 20W USBC port, and it's a little too tall to fit in my under desk cable organizer

This Apple Thunderbolt 3 Male to Thunderbolt 2 Female Adapter is needed to connect your older Thunderbolt 2 Mac computer with limited stations to a Thunderbolt docking station.The docking station providing youThunderbolt 3 connections allows you to run your external hard drives or solid state drive at higher write and read speeds of 20 GB ps. Card reeders connected would download high numbers of larger raw photographic files and diminish the time to download or upload your photo or movies In short this adapter can speed up your workflow on the older Thunderbolt 2 Macs without enough stations to connect all of the devices. Great product. Thanks to B&H for keeping the older Macs working at up to 20 Gb ps speeds.

Two prior docking stations failed. So far so good with this one. I love how it connects to my MacAir. It hugs the laptop. The typical docking station would have yet another cord to plug in that would leave the docking station dangling on my desk taking up space. The HDMI works well with both an extra monitor or plugging my TV into it to watch TV thus alleviating the need for another set top box.

We have several monitors that do not have display port capabilities (VGA and DVI-D only) and are currently upgrading laptops/docking stations for our internal staff. The new docks only have two display ports and one VGA port. So to save on both buying new monitors and all the work of running cables, these converters are life savers. Good build and design.

Outstanding solid and thoughtful design, CalDigit thought of everything. This is one of only about 2 Mac docking stations in the world, that provides a REAR Host Thunderbolt/C port-- most all the others build that port into the front of the unit (which is an odd design choice, given that literally all other periph connections will be plugged into the back.) True plug and play- no software necessary. Zero funkiness, zero connection issues. Doesn't run hot either.

B&H had the docking stations in stock. Everywhere else I looked they were on backorder. B&H had a great price and I am pleased with how fast I received them. Thanks!
