TS3 Plus

what i have already connect to ts3 plus from my other devices. they are a lan cable between ethernet switch,netgear s8000 model gs808e to the port of gigabit ethernet on the dock.this switch have a lan cable with the router netgear x6s r800p. and this router have a lan cable to the modem. they are a thunderbolt 3 cable between the dock and my laptop asus zenbook pro 15 model ux580 ge. at this point make sure your laptop or computer are compatible with thunderbolt 3 technology. the laptop must have one or two ports usb 3.1 gen 2 type c. if you buy this dock, do not buy the thunderbolt 3 cable because it is include with the dock. other ports i use on the dock is a digital optical cable between a soundbar samsung hw-h750. the subwoofer of the soundbar can work wi fi. choose a high quality optical cable with the end in metal. i use a dp cable between my monitor samsung u28d590d and the dock. also i use a usb cable between the printer hp envy 4500 and the dock. buy a cable with a square port for the printer. with a lot of ports usb 3.1 gen 1 type a you can connect your smart phone like s10 plus or your tablet like tab s4 or a portable external drive like my passport ultra from wd. your headphone are plug in the front of the dock.i have not use yet the sd card reader. on the back of the dock they are a second port of thunderbolt 3,probably use if you want to connect a second laptop.many other use of this dock. i still have another hdmi cable between my laptot and the av receiver because with a arc hdmi port,the t.v., the blu ray player and the av receiver work together.i can send any content from the laptop to the t.v. with 5.1 surround sound. i can garanty this dock work very well with window 10. as you can see i don t have any apple product.i prefer cable to wi fi for obvious reason.i recommand without hesitation the caldigit ts3 plus.welcome to the 21 st century.ENJOY!

For my "work" MacBook Pro, I had an OWC TB3 docking station for a long time. It was... okay. It worked but was a bit finicky, better than almost anything else available when I got it in 2020, but also more expensive than almost anything else back then. But it eventually died due to poor design - the power supply connection was not solid enough and started shorting out inside the unit. My needs are: External monitor (while internal is also on), USB support/power for keyboard, speakers and HD for TimeMachine, and 1Gb or better ethernet. I figured I should be able to get a cheap hub or dock to replace the OWC. But every passive unit (those without their own power supply) and even the powered odd-brand docking systems (Hyrta and Hagibis) were flaky when driving an external monitor and network during zoom calls. By then, I already had on my "personal" 2023 MacBook Pro a CalDigit TS4 (ThunderBolt 4), which is the successor to this model. That is a very very expensive, but super good, docking station. Most of the name-brand docking systems are basically clones of one reference design, including the OWC ThunderBolt 3 unit, but this CalDigit TS3 is, like the TS4, different. And since the "work" Mac doesn't have ThunderBolt 4, I got this. Like the TS4, this excludes build quality. And it works. No drama. Which is all I wanted. It is a LOT more expensive than the passive units (non-powered) I tried, but it hasn't glitched out at all in the two months I've been using it heavily.

I would recommend this to anyone that has a standing desk and wants to mange their cables

Probablemente de los mejores accesorios que he comprado, lo utilizo con una Mac mini y me ha solucionado todo el problema de los cables y conexiones, es un producto ya consolidado en el mercado que a pesar de que ya tiene sus años, sigue siendo 100% recomendado. La calidad es muy buena y justifica su precio.

Es una buena herramienta para utilizar múltiples monitores y dispositivos al mismo tiempo y con excelentes velocidades. Funciona en Mac y Windows sin problema, recomiendo descargar las actualizaciones de la página de CalDigit para su funcionamiento óptimo.
