Question 1

What is the bandwidth of the Display Port? Will it support 2560x1440p at 144hz?

Accepted Answer

I own this dock and I have run the following displays simultaneously: 3440x1440 @ 120Hz, 2560x1440 @ 144Hz. I use ASUS displays and needed to disable "deep sleep" on them for them to wake properly when my laptop wakes. It works great.

Question 2

2019 mbp not detecting 4k display. tried dp to hdmi and usbc to hdmi (all ports), neither are working.  what are my options?

Accepted Answer

I have two 4K LG monitors plugged into my CalDigit dock using the Display Port (DP) connection on both monitors. I switch between my 2018 MacBook Pro and a 2020 Mac Mini.

For one monitor I’m using the display port (DP) connection on the CalDigit dock. For the other monitor I’m using the Thunderbolt 3 (TB3) port on the CalDigit dock (which looks like USB-C, but has a lightning bolt - you have to use that port, not the one marked “USB 10Gbps”). For the DP to DP connection, I’m using a DP to DP cable that I think came with the monitor. For the TB3 to DP connection I’m using a 6 ft Cable Matters TB3 to DP cable (ASN B01J6DT070).

A common problem is that “Thunderbolt 3” and “USB-C” have the same port but aren’t the same thing. You must make sure that your port and cable are “Thunderbolt 3 compatible” for it to work with a monitor and/or computer that expects Thunderbolt 3 (like the MacBook Pro).

Question 3

Does this support charging my iphone independently if my macbook pro is not connected to this dock?

Accepted Answer

The dock can charge your iPhone independently but it will have to be connected to your computer first.  It needs the initial connection but can be disconnected afterwards and it will keep charging your iPhone.  We also suggest installing the charging driver from our support page which will improve power output for Mac devices.

Question 4

My monitors have only hdmi ports. is there a way to connect this dock to two 1080p monitors via hdmi?

Accepted Answer

Hi. You need to use a USB-C to HDMI adapter on the secondary thunderbolt port and an active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
