*macOS does not support MST (Multi-Stream Transport), a requirement in order to offer dual extended monitors via USB-C.
*Dual Mirrored Monitors are available on macOS & Windows. Dual Extended Monitors on Windows only, and Dual 4K 30Hz Extended Monitors require that your Type-C port & GPU support DP 1.4.
HDMI 2.0b & DISPLAYPORT 1.4
By including both HDMI and DisplayPort connectors, users have the flexibility to connect to the type of monitor that’s best suited for them.
For any users that need to connect two HDMI or two DisplayPort monitors they can use an *adapter to convert to another video connector.
JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PORTS
Unlike other Gen.1 USB-C hubs on the market that tend to overpromise on connectivity, the CalDigit USB-C SOHO Dock has been designed to have just the right amount of ports in order to not exceed the power output that your laptop’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port can provide.
It is of paramount importance to CalDigit, that when all of the ports are used at once, there are no power issues.
PASS-THROUGH LAPTOP CHARGING
The beauty of USB-C is that it incorporates up to 100W power delivery into it’s design. This means that when you connect your laptop’s USB-C charger to the SOHO Dock it will be powering the SOHO Dock and its attached USB devices, in addition to charging your laptop.
The actual power that will be supplied to your laptop will vary based on the wattage of your USB-C charger, and how many USB devices are attached to the SOHO Dock.
This pass-through charging functionality is not only limited to laptops since the SOHO Dock will also charge the iPad Pro, Windows Tablets, and USB-C Smart Phones.
PLUG & PLAY
The SOHO Dock is a complete plug & play solution.
Unlike many USB-C devices on the market that require drivers to connect dual displays, the SOHO Dock works right out of the box on macOS and Windows, without the stress of installing drivers.
FULL SPEED 10Gb/s DATA PORT
Anyone that has used a traditional Gen.1 USB-C hub will know that the USB ports offer limited performance capabilities. The USB-C SOHO Dock’s front-facing USB-C and USB-A data ports offer full 10Gb/s performance, double that of traditional hubs.
This means that for any users looking to connect high-performance SSD storage devices, the USB-C SOHO Dock will offer much faster speeds.
*USB bandwidth is shared by all USB ports.
