Systems/ Devices Compatibility
- Windows 11 or higher
- Mac OS 14.6 or later (M chip)
- Compatible with Thunderbolt 5/4, USB4, and USB 3.0 computers featuring a USB-C port.
How to Check Your Laptop's Port:
For Best Performance (Thunderbolt 5/4): Look for the lightning bolt () symbol next to the USB-C port on your laptop. A Thunderbolt 5 port is required to unlock all features, such as triple display on Windows.
For Mac Users: All modern Macs with USB-C ports feature Thunderbolt 3 or higher, ensuring great compatibility. Display capabilities depend on your Mac's chip model (M1/M2/M3/M4 Base/Pro/Max).
For USB4 & USB-C (DP Alt Mode) Ports: The dock is compatible, but performance in display, data, and charging will be limited by your host device's capabilities.
To ensure the best experience, please check your laptop's official specifications.

Warm Tips:
1. For the best experience, a laptop with a Thunderbolt 5 or Thunderbolt 4 port is recommended. Performance will be limited on standard USB-C and USB4 ports.
2.Triple External Displays: Support for three external displays is potentially available only when connected to a laptop featuring a Thunderbolt 5 port and running Windows 11 or later. Actual support depends on the specific laptop's specifications.
3.macOS System Limitation: macOS systems do not support triple external displays through this dock. The number and resolution/refresh rate of supported external displays depend on the specific Mac chip model (M1/M2/M3/M4 Base/Pro/Max). Please refer to the compatibility list for details.
4.High Resolution/High Refresh Rates: Achieving 6K/8K resolutions and refresh rates above 60Hz typically requires both your laptop (GPU) and external monitor(s) to support DSC (Display Stream Compression).
5.Accessories: USB-C to HDMI/DP cables and the security lock are not included and must be purchased separately.
Instructions about the monitor(s): 1.Dual 5K monitors must be Thunderbolt 4 or Apple Studio Displays. Dual LG UltraFine 5K monitors are not supported. 6K monitors can be a Thunderbolt 4 monitor or an Apple Pro Display XDR. DSC (Display Stream Compression) support is required for 6K and 8K resolutions.
2.Higher refresh-rates (above 60Hz) may require DSC (Display Stream Compression) support on the monitors and host GPU. The bit/color depth may vary in order to support higher refresh-rates.
3.Some M3 MacBooks such as the MacBook Air can support dual external monitors up to 5K and 6K when the laptop lid is closed (clamshell mode).
4. Currently M1/2/3/4 Macs can only support up to HDMI 2.0b over its Thunderbolt ports. As such, resolutions will be limited to 4K 60Hz when using an HDMI adapter. If a higher refresh-rate is required, please use a USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to DisplayPort or DisplayPort to DisplayPort connection. For more information about a Macs external display support please Apple's or CalDigit's support webpages.
5. Results may vary due to OS updates. For external display compatibility over a single Thunderbolt connection on different Windows computers, please refer to the manufacturers website.
