Review on UPTab USB C DisplayPort Adapter Silver by Tutan Beatz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

SOMEWAY works. depending on your situation.

Read it, it may save you a headache. My setup was as follows: a Thunderbolt 3 (USB C) laptop connected to a CalDigit TS3+ docking station. From the dock I am connected to a 27" monitor via a DP-DP cable (no problem). I also have a second 27" monitor that was connected to the dock's TB3 port via this dongle (I'm looking at) "TB3 to miniDP port". This was my problem area as the monitor that was plugged into this dongle (regardless of whether I switched monitors or not) was showing a black screen for about 3-5 seconds every minute or so. VERY BAD! I removed the dongle from the TS3+ dock and plugged it into another TB3 port on my laptop and this problem seemed to go away, but now it forced me to plug and unplug TWO! cable every day. This basically defeats the purpose of a docking station. I figured I'd buy a new USB-C to DP cable and try to fix the problem. I removed the dongle and plugged the USB-C to DP cable into the TS3+ dock and there was no signal for a week! LOVE IT! As the title says: "THE EVIDENCE works. depending on your situation."
