Product Description

Plugable’s Thunderbolt 3 Single Display Docking Station (TBT3-UDV) offers high-performance expansion of your Thunderbolt 3-enabled Mac or compatible Windows Thunderbolt 3 system while also providing up to 60W of power to charge the host. Connect a single display up to 4K 60Hz (4096x2160 @ 60Hz) via the integrated DisplayPort output, or an HDMI display using the included Active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. Thunderbolt 3’s massive 40Gbps bandwidth enables you to run your high resolution display connected through the dock at the full native performance of your system’s graphics processor while also enabling access to your wired network and existing USB peripherals.

Supports connection to wired Gigabit Ethernet networks using the integrated Intel i210 network adapter and 10Gbps peer-to-peer networking when directly connected to a second Thunderbolt 3-enabled system. Provides a combined analog audio input and output jack for connecting stereo headphones or a combination headset with microphone. Provides five extra USB 3.0 (5Gbps) ports for device connectivity (one in front, four in back). Is positioned vertically to save space, and has a removable stand that also allows the unit to be placed horizontally.

Thunderbolt 3 compatibility is complex, and some features like PCI-E bandwidth, support for 2 displays over Thunderbolt 3, and the necessary firmware updates for docking compatibility (BIOS and NVM) are system-specific. Apple and Dell Thunderbolt 3 systems are currently the best-performing, best-supported systems with this docking station. Please see the “Specification Sheet.pdf” document under the “Technical Specification” section below for a more detailed compatibility list.

For details on supported monitor configurations and what components are needed to add a second display, and non-Apple and Dell compatibility, please see additional details below. The dock can provide up to 60W of power to charge the host system, assuming the system supports being charged via its Thunderbolt 3 port. Windows systems require updated NVM firmware, system BIOS, and Thunderbolt/GPU drivers from the system manufacturer (Apple systems provide this automatically). The ability to add a second display depends on design decisions made by your system manufacturer and requires additional hardware, sold separately. Some Thunderbolt 3 systems support a maximum of 20Gbps Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth. The docking station will not function if attached to a non-Thunderbolt 3 capable USB-C port.

System Requirements

Compatible with Apple and Dell systems which have Thunderbolt 3 support. Other brand Thunderbolt 3 systems may work but not support all of the functionality of the dock. Please see important details regarding system compatibility, frequently asked questions and more below.

Compatibility Information

Thunderbolt 3 is powerful technology, and system manufacturers have discretion how they implement various elements and features. As a result, compatibility information is complex and some available Thunderbolt 3 systems do not support all the features offered by this docking station.

Some systems support a second display using a USB-C video adapter or cable, sold separately. To support a second display via the dock, the system manufacturer must have routed two DisplayPort lines to the Thunderbolt 3 port. Currently all Thunderbolt 3 systems from Apple using Intel processors and Dell meet this requirement, and implementation from other manufacturers varies. ** Apple systems with an Apple M1 processor support only one display **

Requires updated system BIOS, Thunderbolt 3 driver, Thunderbolt 3 NVM firmware and graphics (GPU) driver from system manufacturer.

If you have a Thunderbolt 3 host system which supports two video outputs, a separate purchase of one of the following Plugable adapter models is required: USBC-DP, USBC-HDMI, USBC-DVI, USBC-VGA Please see the FAQ section below for more information.

Compatible Systems:

  • Apple MacBook Pro 2016/2017/2018/2019/2020 with Intel processors (systems with Apple M1 processors support only one display)
  • Apple MacBook Air 2018/2019/2020 with Intel processors (systems with Apple M1 processors support only one display)
  • Apple Mac mini 2018 with Intel processors. (systems with Apple M1 processors support only one display)
  • Apple iMac 2017/2019 with Intel processors (systems with Apple M1 processors support only one display)
  • Dell XPS 12 9250, Dell XPS 13 9350, 9360, 9365, 9370, 9380 Dell XPS 15 9550, 9560
  • Dell Latitude 7275, 7370
  • Dell Precision 15 3510, 3520, 5510, 5520, 7510, 7520, Dell Precision 17 7710, 7720 (Precision systems with certain CPU and GPU configurations have power requirements above 130W and do not support charging via Thunderbolt 3)

Important Note Regarding Dell Thunderbolt 3 systems—Some Dell XPS and Precision models include Thunderbolt 3 support by default, while with other models Thunderbolt 3 is optional. Please ensure your Dell system has Thunderbolt 3 support prior to purchasing the dock.

Unsupported Systems:

  • Asus G703VI, Lenovo Thinkpad P50 and P70, Dell Alienware 15 R2, Razer Blade Stealth, Porsche Design BOOK ONE

Other Thunderbolt 3 systems may be compatible, but have not been confirmed by Plugable. Please reach out to us directly for more information prior to purchase if your system is not listed above.

In the Box

Thunderbolt 3 TBT3-UDV docking station, 0.5 meter (20 inches) Thunderbolt 3 40Gbps cable, DisplayPort to HDMI active adapter, quick installation guide and a 20V/6.75A (135W) power adapter (US AC Wall Outlet Plug, 100-240V 50/60Hz)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does the TBT3-UDV charge/power my system?

A: Yes, the dock can provide up to 60W of power to charge the host system assuming the host can be charged via its Thunderbolt 3 port. In order to charge, the system must be connected to the Thunderbolt 3 port on the back of the dock labeled with the “Computer” icon.

Q: How much power is provided via the two Thunderbolt 3 ports on the back of the dock?

A: The Thunderbolt 3 port labeled with the “Computer” icon can provide up to 60W of power. The other Thunderbolt 3 port can provide up to 15W.

Q: I don’t like the vertical orientation of the dock, can I use it in a horizontal orientation?

A: Yes, the dock stand is removable without tools to allow the dock to be placed horizontally.

Q: My Mac system included a 87W power adapter, will the dock’s 60W output charge my system?

A: Yes, but at a slightly slower rate compared to the 87W power adapter

Q: Is the TBT3-UDV supported in Operating Systems running in a Boot Camp environment?

A: Not at this time.

Q: Is the Apple SuperDrive supported?

A: The Apple SuperDrive is not supported.

Q: Is Wake-on-LAN supported via the Ethernet adapter within the dock?

A: No, Wake-on-LAN is not supported.

Q: Do I need to install any drivers to use the dock?

A: With macOS and Windows 11, 10 and 8.1, the operating system will download and install the necessary drivers. When using Windows 7 64-bit, you will need to install a separate USB and network drivers.

Q: Can I add a second display through the second Thunderbolt 3 port on the docking station?

A: As noted above, some Thunderbolt 3 systems support two displays, while others only support one. This behavior is entirely based on engineering decisions from your system manufacturer.

Q: I’ve confirmed my system supports two displays via Thunderbolt 3. What type of monitors are supported?

A: The docking station includes a pure DisplayPort output, which means you can connect a DisplayPort monitor via a DisplayPort cable. If you wish to connect an HDMI monitor, please use the included Active DisplayPort to HDMI converter which supports monitors up to 4K 60Hz refresh. If using a DVI or VGA monitor, separate Active DisplayPort to DVI or Active DisplayPort to VGA adapters can be used. ** Active adapters are required, passive adapters will not work **

Q: Does the docking station work on Linux?

A: The docking station does not currently support Linux.

Q: Which Plugable USB-C Alt Mode Adapters or DisplayPort adapters are compatible with the dock?

A: Please use the included Active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (maximum resolution of 4K 60Hz refresh) to convert from DP to HDMI. To convert the DisplayPort output to DVI or VGA, please purchase separately an Active DisplayPort to DVI or VGA adapter. Adapter MUST be of the Active type, Passive adapters do not work. For systems which support a second display output through the docking station via USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 Alt Mode, please search for Plugable’s USB-C to video adapters and/or cables on Amazon.

Q: Does the docking station support Dual-Link DVI output?

A: No.

Q: Is there a recommended DisplayPort cable for use with this dock?

A: We suggest using DisplayPort cables which are certified for DP 1.2 operation, and shorter cables will generally produce the best results.

Does what it is says it will do. One cable to hook up a laptop to everything
Day 1 review: Edited after week 1. EDITED after 1 year - Upped from four to 5 star as we have never had an issue with it once Dell (or MSFT) update their thunderbolt drivers.We're pleased with product so far as it did what they said it would do and did so without any quirks or common tech setup glitches. It makes it super quick and easy to use the laptop with a host of other peripherals. The horizontal and vertical options allow it to fit where I needed it and it takes up only a minor amount of space in the vertical orientation (the included base is very heavy and helps to ensure cables aren't going to tip it over). It is visually appealing as well (as much as a dock can be).I'm using it to power a Dell XPS 13 9350 (windows 10 home current version) and connect a Dell 2560 x 1440 monitor via the (full size) DisplayPort connection, 1gbit ethernet, mini-jack headset, and as needed memory stick and USB Blu-ray drive.Setup is essentially 'power up and plug in' simple with the one step of authorizing the thunderbolt device in Windows, which is noted in the instructions (a dialog window opens automatically). Of note is that video to the external monitor worked automatically, prior to the Windows authorization as the authorization seemed to apply to the audio device and/or some other component. Ethernet showed up and tested at full gbit speed, audio was automatically set to use the dock by default, and the display worked and looked the same as when it was plugged in directly (via CableMatters USB C-to-DisplayPort adapter). I validated that the laptop did charge while it was asleep and powered down as it would via the power brick.Addition notes:-There are two lights on the front, but their function isn’t specified in the included documentation for the initial batch. The green indicates the dock is plugged in to power and blue indicates it is connected to a host device.-EDIT: Removed flashing screen comment as we never had a flashing screen after Dell driver updates. Wasn't Plugable's issue.Possible Issues for your use scenario:1. (Edit: From the feedback, this issue seems to apply to all docks (not Plugable docks specifically) vs. using built in audio on the laptop. However it can be worked around by using a app like the “SoundSwitch” application recommended in the comments on this post. It enables a keyboard shortcut to swap audio instantly. Plugable should look to develop/include something similar.). If you unplug your headphones, audio will not switch back to laptop speakers. This was the -1 star issue for us as I wasn’t aware of it from the FAQ’s but it might not be for you if, for example, you use the headset jack for desktop speakers, not a headset. You will get no audio until you either plug back in your headset, unplug the entire dock, or go into speaker settings and change your default speaker. That is a pain in the butt if you want to share audio for a moment to show a video or just have any pattern of switching back and forth occasionally. With the laptop itself, plugging and unplugging a minijack headset will automatically switch back and forth (as does a usb headset).2. Edit after 1 year: The wake from sleep error never happened after Dell thunderbolt drivers were updated. not pluggable's issue.Old Comment: On the first day of testing we saw two "Thunderbolt 3 functionality might be limited" errors after waking from sleep where the dock didn't function. Unplugging and replugging in the dock allowed it to resume normal function. I updated the BOIS on the Dell laptop and it hasn’t happened in the week since which could point to intermittent issue or something the BIOS update fixed though there were no notes about Thunderbolt fixes in the release. Given comments on Dell forums about other docks I suspect the error is/was due to Dell drivers and/or Windows bugs.
