The Eaton Tripp Lite Series Thunderbolt 3 Dual Monitor Docking Station is engineered to transform a single laptop into a versatile, high-performance workstation. Built for professionals who demand crystal-clear visuals, fast data transfer, stable network connectivity, and reliable charging, this dock unlocks the full potential of your MacBook Pro or Windows laptop with a robust seven-port expansion. With dual video outputs—8K at 30Hz via DisplayPort and 4K at 60Hz via HDMI—plus USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transfer, Gigabit Ethernet, and 60W Power Delivery charging, you can run a multi-monitor setup, attach multiple peripherals, and stay productive all day long. The compact, all-black chassis is designed to fit neatly on any desk, offering tidy cable management and an unobtrusive presence in home offices, workstations, or conference rooms.

• Dual-display power for stunning visuals: Create a true dual-monitor workstation with one DisplayPort output capable of up to 8K resolution at 30Hz and a second display through HDMI at up to 4K resolution at 60Hz. This combination delivers crisp text, vibrant color reproduction, and smooth motion for creative work, data analytics, programming, and multitasking across multiple applications without the need to swap cables or upgrade your laptop’s native graphics capabilities.
• Seven-port expansion from a single TB3 dock: Transform a single Thunderbolt 3 port into a seven-port hub that includes high-speed USB connections, a wired Ethernet link, and video output. This expansive connectivity helps you attach a full suite of peripherals—external storage, keyboards, mice, audio devices, and more—while keeping your workspace clean and organized. No more juggling adapters; everything you need can live on one compact dock.
• Lightning-fast data transfer with USB 3.2 Gen 2: Rely on USB 3.2 Gen 2 for rapid data transfers to external drives, high-speed hubs, or PCIe-like add-ons. This fast USB generation minimizes waiting times during large file transfers, backups, and media workflows, enabling you to move big projects quickly and keep your workflow uninterrupted as you scale up your productive environment.
• Reliable networking and power delivery: A Gigabit Ethernet port provides a steady, wired network connection ideal for video conferences, cloud collaboration, and streaming content without the variability of Wi‑Fi. The built-in 60W Power Delivery (PD) charging ensures your laptop remains powered while docked, eliminating the need to carry a separate charger and enabling long, uninterrupted work sessions.
• Sleek, durable design for professional spaces: The dock arrives in a discreet black finish with a compact footprint that fits on crowded desks, in shared workspaces, or at front-desk workstations. Thoughtful cable management and heat dissipation keep the setup tidy and cool, while the robust construction stands up to daily use in busy environments, blending seamlessly with modern office aesthetics.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series Thunderbolt 3 Dual Monitor Docking Station

• Place the dock on your desk and position cables for a clean, organized setup. Ensure you have the included Thunderbolt 3/USB-C docking cable handy if your laptop requires it.
• Connect the dock to your laptop using the Thunderbolt 3/USB-C port. This establishes the primary bridge for video, data, and power delivery.
• Attach your displays: connect one monitor to the DisplayPort and the second monitor to the HDMI port on the dock. Verify that the monitors are powered on and configured to the correct input sources.
• Connect USB peripherals and storage devices to the dock’s USB ports. This lets you run external drives, keyboards, mice, printers, and hubs with high-speed data transfer.
• Connect the Ethernet cable to the dock’s GbE port for a reliable wired network connection. If you rely on Wi‑Fi, you can keep it active for redundancy, but wired connections typically offer lower latency and more stable throughput.
