Renamed CalDigit Thunderbolt 3 Mini Dock?

The MAC address provider prefix on them is CalDigit. From what I can tell, it definitely looks like a rebranded "CalDigit Thunderbolt 3 Mini Dock" and costs $40 less (at the time of purchase). So far I see no difference. Either way, it will still be a great value.

Pros
  • Docking stations
Cons
  • This worries me

Unnecessarily disappointing device

I love every other product I have ever bought from Cable Matters but not the Thunderbolt 3 Multiport Adapter Cable this week. Because I thought the cable might be causing the problem. While the USB port works well, the HDMI port causes the external display to flicker on complex images, and the Ethernet port only works 50% of the time. All in all a great idea, but unreliable. I was surprised to find out that Cable Matters let QC slip through like that. After starting the Revain return process…

Supports dual monitors on MacBook Air with Intel chip, not M1 chip

This works with our Early 2020 MacBook Air with Intel chip to support dual monitors. It will not work on a new MacBook Air with an M1 chip that only supports one monitor (unless a DisplayPort adapter is used). Visit YouTube to learn more if you have the new M1 chip.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Protection

Needlessly Disappointing Device

I love every other product I've ever bought from Cable Matters but not the Thunderbolt 3 Multiport Adapter about a week ago, and I even threw away some good cables this week, thinking the problem might be with the cable. While the USB port works well, the HDMI port causes the external display to flicker on complex images, and the Ethernet port only works 50% of the time. All in all a great idea, but unreliable. I was surprised to find out that Cable Matters let QC slip through like that. After…

Pros
  • Thunderbolt 3 Adapter Adds Ethernet, 1x USB 3.0, 1x USB 2.0, and Dual Monitors with HDMI Over a Single Thunderbolt 3 Connection; Connect to a computer with a Thunderbolt 3 port with this Thunderbolt 3 to Dual HDMI adapter; The Bus Powered Thunderbolt Dock doesn't need to be plugged into a wall charger to work
Cons
  • I don't remember
