Review on πŸ’» Thunderbolt Dock Plus Cable F4U109TT by Belkin - 4K Compatible by Darron Lopez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Same displayport issue as others, second hub after replacement

First of all, Belkin was kind enough to just accept my original and send me a replacement of the same model within a very reasonable time, which is very good for them. However, the real problem lies with the display port. Same port others have been talking about (front right, back left). Not only does the port not work at all, it also causes my mouse pointer to stop when something is plugged into it. This is on a 2019 MacBook Pro 15 inch. These aren't ports on my Mac, they work fine when I have an HDMI to USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 adapter on both sides (HDMI bus and display channel emulation issues), no problem at all. Weirdly, the Thunderbolt port I could plug into my basic HDMI to Thunderbolt 3 adapter doesn't work when plugged in, even though the HDMI bus isn't in use yet. I am using two HDMI cables to show connection cables. Here's what I did to test: connected both monitors with the same display comms cables, one works, the other doesn't, the one connected to the problem port, swapped the inputs, same problem, swapped the entire cable, same problem, one disconnected and tried a monitor with both cables on a working port, everything works fine. I unplugged this monitor and cable from the working port and plugged it into the non-working one. The problem is back. I've looked through all the possible combinations of cables and monitors and also 15 inch ports, of which there are 4 and I've encountered a problem. This is a lot of cases. So this connection display issue hasn't been fixed and is a complete deal breaker if one One of the main advantages of this hub is its dual 4k support and just general dual display support. Even with a single monitor, the problem occurs. Belkin, so many people are talking about this issue, why isn't it getting resolved? There are enough 5 star reviews and I believed in the product how often 1 star reviews can be poorly worded and not detailed enough that it ends up sounding like dissatisfied customers. I can say that I completely agree with them. Again this product MUST be corrected before I will review again but I doubt it will be true as I really don't have time to wait. Don't buy. Belkin, thanks for your support, one ako for me it broke the rules.
