From Elgato comes a small dock with multiple outputs for the USB-C port of the MacBook that offers Thunderbolt 3 support.
We have already told you something about the technical background and explained that USB-C refers to the mechanical connection and Thunderbolt 3 to the transfer protocol. So you know how USB-C and Thunderbolt are connected.
The advantage of such a fast connection is that both graphic outputs – DisplayPort and HDMI – both offer 4K support. In addition to the two different graphics ports, there is Gigabit Ethernet port and USB 3.0 with 5 GBit/s speed. In addition, we find the design very nice. Also very handy is the integration of the cable, which can be hidden in the underside for transport.
A small disadvantage is the missing possibility to connect a power supply unit at the same time, so it is rather meant to establish corresponding data connections on the way. If you find the 150 dollars they are asking for too expensive, you can take a look at Caldigit’s alternative.
