About this deal

Another slightly odd choice is that the top is slightly recessed, creating a tray of sorts for small change, or whatever. Dual video is only supported on Windows 10 and 8.1 devices (Mac and Chrome USB-C devices do not support dual video over MST). A: The reversible USB-C connector makes it easy to plug the cable for an accessory in either direction At a rough estimate, the ports on this device would require more than 76Gb/s of connection to the host computer to have all the necessary bandwidth, and it only has 10Gb/s. The obvious conclusion is that this isn’t practical, or at least some significant compromises are required in what you can realistically connect and how it might work.

Please note that the driver will need to be manually installed until it is available via Windows Updates later this month. Support: Our experience of DisplayLink hasn’t been great, we’ll admit. Because it requires some significant processing on the PC, how much bandwidth it uses can vary wildly depending on the amount of change occurring, and most laptops don’t have the spare performance to drive it properly. On the rear is a PSU power input, USB-C downlink from the computer, three each of DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0, a Gigabit LAN port and four USB-A 3.1 Gen2 ports.

They also made some curious choices about the texturing of this case, where the top, bottom rear and sides have a matt appearance, but the front is high gloss.

Your laptop or device must have a USB-C port. (Using an adapter on a USB 3.0 Type-A port will not work.) Uses the power supply from SD4700P, SD4750P, SD4780P or SD4900P to provide power to USB-A enabled laptops that support 20V/85W. *The power splitter is optimized to provide rapid charging at 60W and is not intended for use with laptops under 20V/60W.* In whatever ways 10Gb/s is divided, it won’t adequately supply three 4K displays, six USB ports each requiring up to 10Gb/s, a Gigabit Ethernet port and the other less bandwidth-hungry items on here.The alternative display connecting method is DisplayLink, another technology designed to achieve multiple displays over limited bandwidth. After working closely with DisplayLink (Synaptics) on the updated driver, and conducting extensive testing to ensure support on the above-mentioned Kensington products, we are happy to share that an updated driver (v10.1 M1) is now available. Please navigate to synaptics.com where you will find the latest driver from DisplayLink. Overall, the compromises made to achieve triple displays are too great, and most users would be better with a dual-screen option and plugging the third display directly into the laptop to reduce the bandwidth overhead. Laptop Cable provides ideal length for various connection needs and accommodates multiple power tips to be tethered to the cable at one time via four power adapter retention rings –providing a convenient solution for mixed deployments or shared workspaces

And the other caveat to this hardware is the charging. The 60 watts provided isn’t enough power for charging the more powerful Ultrabook’s, like the 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro. If you don’t have USB-C and are using the provided USB-A to USB-C cable that Kensington kindly includes, then a maximum of two 4K displays is possible. As we might have predicted before opening the box, the glossy surfaces attract dust and fingerprints compared with the textured ones, that don’t. Our immediate reaction to that information was to wonder why mounting six complicated cabling ports on this device was a better option than providing three DisplayPort and some inexpensive cable adapters for HDMI?Q: How does my USB-C cable know what device I have and what functions the USB-C port on my device can perform?
