Review on Belkin F4U110Bt Thunderbolt Upstream Transfer and Charging for 3840X2160 by Marshall Thibeaux

I bought this docking station for the Macbook Pro 15 2017. It generally worked, but here's what I noticed: Pros: - reasonable range of ports - support for 2 4k@60Hz via DP and HDMI (one each), which is reasonable these days - gigabit ethernet - no unreasonable number of outdated USB - A connectors - current throughput Disadvantages: - hard-wired cable to the computer is too short and a bit "hard" - "star" design. Several cables come out on each side. Because of this, it's difficult to hide behind a screen or next to a wall. - Power Through somehow registers as only 45W (compared to the advertised 60W) on my 61W Apple Box. This may be a design limitation and probably my oversight. - unnecessary audio connector. This is surprisingly annoying on a Mac because you can't just turn it off and it quite often interferes with the selected audio output. use case
