      You will need to tune your search alerts to minimise false positives.

      I recommend using this as a search term

    I doubt these things can do 100W of PD. I've tried on my 15.4 inch 2019 MacBook Pro and it makes a cracking sound if the power comes from the hub. Might be okay for the smaller 13 inch ones but don't get this solely for the PD.

    Plus there are cheaper hubs on Amazon like this https://www.amazon.com.au/Novoo-Adapter-Macbook-Matebook-Chr…

      Agree about the potential PD issue but the adaptor you linked is far inferior to this. This has more slots and 4k@60hz for example. Around $40 is the best price I've seen for one like this posted

    • XanderYuan on 12/09/2021 - 12:39

      FYI: the best in the market is DA310 that I know of for PD
      teardown: https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/350808731

      • netsurfer on 12/09/2021 - 16:47

        While DA310 looks really good on paper, make sure you have a laptop that can actually support it. Also, remember to read all the fineprint on the datasheet. i.e.:

        Available with select PC models (that support DisplayPort 1.4, HBR3) and when connected to displays that offer 4K resolution at 60Hz, with static HDR support. Dynamic HDR like HDR10/HDR10+/DolbyVision is excluded

        Also, as usual, the typical issues you could get with these dongles on Macbook Pros (including M1 based) still apply. If you think a dongle/hub like the Dell would solve limitation on Macbook Pro 2017-2019 13 inch models, then you will be quite disappointed (basically, if you have one of those laptops, don't bother getting the Dell or this particular dongle or plan to accept 4K/30Hz as possible max res).

    • netsurfer on 12/09/2021 - 16:14

      The issue with USB-C is that it is quite complicated. Just to get PD out of the way, for USB-C/PD, it essentially comes down to wire quality. Think about it, you still need a USB-PD charger that can feed in 100W. The one you bought is an el cheapo DP 1.2 model and only allocated 2 lanes to graphics.

      Now, the twist, assuming the specs are correct on this, this is USB-C dongle with alt-mode support for DP1.4. However, unless you have a Macbook Pro 2020 (13 inch) or Macbook Pro 2018 15 inch with AMD GPU, you cannot get DP 1.4 going in USB-C/alt-mode. Thus, you will be limited to DP 1.2. Question is, is this device smart enough to fallback to DP 1.2 4 lanes mode (to allow 4K/60Hz) or give you a choice to decide which mode to run (I highly doubt you can choose). Problem is, either way isn't ideal. If you want 4K/60Hz with DP 1.2, USB ports can at best be USB 2.0. If you want USB 3, then you are stuck with 4K/30Hz (if the laptop can only do DP 1.2 via USB-C/Alt-mode). It's a similar story on Windows side. If your laptop uses Intel GPU, and that laptop isn't the 2020 model, then there is a good chance it won't support DP 1.4. It's unlikely mobile phones listed there support DP 1.4.

      As for how likely this would be able to do PD/100, if they used the same type of wires which supports DP 1.4, then there is a reasonable chance. However, it is possible they cut corner on the PD wires.

      USB-C, while the original intention was good. It's a mess as new standards kept coming out. Therefore, early adopters suffer with older standards. It is really annoying as you ended up needing newer dongles, cables once you have newer devices. Good USB-C cables aren't cheap either. Market is also flooded with el cheapo junk dongles, cables. Another common problem for these dongles is they tend to produce heat when used with high speed devices.

    • EmployeeJeanieZ @ CableCreation on 13/09/2021 - 17:41

      Hi, the hub itself supports 100W of PD, but the original charger for your 15.4 inches 2019 MacBook Pro is 87w, it won't reach 100w.
      And the hub will take some power when it works, so in the end, what arrives at your MacBook Pro is less than 87w.
      Hope you can understand it fully.

    Need one of these for desktop, dont to buy a USB-C extension cable. Does anyone make one of these with a longer USB-C cable or no permanent cable attached.

    • netsurfer on 12/09/2021 - 16:28
      +1

      That's a bad idea. You need a lot of bandwidth for 4K/60Hz, USB-PD/100W, USB 3, Gigabit ethernet all at once. So, unless you can get top notch extension cable, you will be introducing problems. If you get the wrong cable (i.e. USB 3.1 gen 2 extension cable), you are basically making things worse. Dongles with longer cable require better quality cable (cost more) or they will simply drop the speed (i.e. DP 1.2 only).

      Once you are using USB 3.0 or higher, extension cables should be avoided, unless they are really top quality (or provided by the product itself - i.e. external storage devices) and you know exactly the right one to get. A lot of the cables targeting only one area (either high power or high data).

      Lastly, for "desktop", why do you want to gamble on this type of devices? USB-C/Alt-mode is a mess. If you are on a desktop, you will have less headache going HDMI direct (or even better, DisplayPort directly). Desktop with PD support - that's wishful thinking. So, if you really get this for desktop, you are simply buying a toy because you have too much money.

    • EmployeeJeanieZ @ CableCreation on 13/09/2021 - 17:10

      It's not a good idea. It will be unstable after with a USB-C extension cable, so it's better not to do that.
      As netsurfer said below, unless you can get top-notch extension cable, otherwise, you are basically making things worse.
      Hope it's helpful for you.

    What do you guys think of this for work from home setup?

    • netsurfer on 12/09/2021 - 19:48

      It depends. Basically, what I mentioned above still applies. Basically, it applies to USB-C based laptops / NUCs regardless.

      You need to know your laptop's USB-C/Alt-mode (GPU) capability. Whether it is DisplayPort 1.4 based on DisplayPort 1.2 based. The item you are interested mentioned:

      If the input source only supports DP1.2, HDMI resolution up to 4K@30Hz

      It is difficult to give advice, especially without know which laptop(s) you are referring to. Just like the CableCreation one, it is advertised the same way. Devices which actually only support DP 1.2 are also listed as compatible (they are), but you don't get 4K/60Hz. One thing people need to realise is that the bandwidth for a USB-C port is finite. You might get all excited with so many ports, but if those USB-A ports are sharing bandwidth, you are not really going to benefit that much.

      It's possible to get 4K/60Hz for laptops only support DP 1.2 in Alt-mode, but you need a different dongle (and most of those have no USB ports and even if they do, they would be limited to USB 2.0). So, to really give advice on USB-C devices, really need to have good understanding of the laptop and what you have (in terms of display) and what exactly you are after mostly in the dongle (i.e. must have USB 3.0 ports, or must have USB-PD).

      • froddoog on 12/09/2021 - 20:35

        Hi,

        Thank you for the reply. So the laptop I plan to connect that into is MacBook Pro 13" 2017. I think the Port for that is Thunderbolt 3.
        But I might be upgrading to the M1, probably next year or so.
        The monitor I plan to hook my laptop up to is, Asus PG348Q

        That is the crucial word for me, when you said about the USB-A ports sharing bandwidth. I think people should know about that.

        I mainly need USB-A for my portable storage and if I can get ethernet that would be good too.

        Thank you for your detailed explanation :)

          Macbook Pro 13" 2017 - that one is USB-C/Alt-mode DP 1.2 only. The confusing bit is that the laptop has Thunderbolt 3 ports and we all thought (at least I did) that means Thunderbolt 3 all the way. Unfortunately, it is more complicated.

          If you use a Thunderbolt 3 eGPU (with an expensive PCIe graphics card), then you could use the full Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth. However, if you simply use the inbuilt Intel GPU, then you are limited to USB-C/alt-mode setup. The 2017 MPB has another twist, the Intel chipset for Thunderbolt 3 used simply is limited to DP 1.2 in alt-mode no matter what (that's why you see the list starts with Macbook Pro 15 inch 2018, rather than 2017). While the chipset for MBP 2018 13 inch supports DP 1.4 in Alt-mode, the intel GPU simply isn't capable of doing so (so you end up with DP 1.2 in alt-mode anyway due the intel GPU).

          PG348Q is an Ultrawide and 100Hz, but only on DisplayPort. Only HDMI port, it is limited to 60Hz (and is HDMI 1.4). I don't have an ultra wide monitor. Basically, with MPB 2017 13 inch, you cannot benefit from DP 1.4 based dongles on the display side.

          As for the one you are looking at, while it appears to have a DisplayPort, on Macbook Pro's, getting DisplayPort working through these dongles is often problematic (and that includes M1), even Dell informed customers not to use any dongle with DisplayPort on M1 based devices and only go with USB-C to USB-C (go direct to an USB-C monitor if DisplayPort is a must), switching to HDMI is a possible workaround. For MPB 2017, there is no chance you can get it to work at 100Hz with just 2 lanes in alt-mode. There are USB-C to DisplayPort dongles which use all 4 lanes (and DP 1.2 based bandwidth), but getting USB-C to DisplayPort dongle to work completely without issue on a MBP is not an easy task (a lot of compatibility issues).

          Honestly, at that price point, I'd rather go with Dell DA310, but check with Dell so that if it doesn't work well with your laptop, you can get a full refund.

            Until now I didn't realise that it wasn't that simple at all, just to plug and play those dongles and trust the listing on all these websites.

            Going to check out the Dell you linked, thank you!

              @froddoog: If you intend to use only Asus PG348Q and you are okay with just use HDMI, then you may not have much issue. Sorry, but I have no experience with ultra wide displays.

              Recently got a Dell USB-C monitor and decided to do some research. I was surprised to find this whole mess. The new 4K USB-C monitor hasn't worked well with my Macbook Pro 2017 13 inch (though it could be due to I forced the laptop to run 4K/60Hz). No issue with Macbook Pro 2018 13 inch. However, both are USB-C/alt-mode DP 1.2 only so at 4K/60Hz, had to switch the monitor to prioritise resolution (basically use all lanes for Display, which reduces USB-A ports to USB 2.0 only). HDR "seems to be working" with USB-C/USB-C DP, but HDMI via dongle is limited to 4K/60Hz without HDR.

              I only have one DP/1.4 type dongle - the official Apple Digital AV dongle (latest version) and that one doesn't work well with my MPB 2017. I suspect / hope it is due to the tweak I did to enable 4K/60Hz. That why I suggest, if you want to get a more expensive dongle, consider getting one with a good return policy. Dell items could have a long delay to get despatched currently though.

              Try not to over-invest on dongles / docks for MPB 2017. I wouldn't try buy accessories to future proof for M1 you intend to buy later on as I certainly hope Apple will make next round of MPBs more flexible in I/O and graphics and the current mess with most DisplayPort dongles / docks (not working well with M1). There is a lot of expectation on M1X / M2 addressing some of the issues, especially on the display side.

                Yea I guess I will have to see what their next event is like regarding the new MacBook. But other than that, I think I'm just okay with working with HDMI, I'm only switching to mbp for work actually and sometimes my wifi is just not stable enough. That's the reason I'm looking for the hub :)

                We'll see what they bring this coming Thursday morning :)

                  @froddoog: Wifi issue… Is it with only the Macbook Pro? If yes, are you using any dongle with it (and does that dongle have a metallic plug)? I found that dongles (especially cheap ones) can interfere with Wifi 2.4 Ghz bands (partially due to the way the MBP is designed). There is a reason Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, and Google use plastic based outer plugs (and often with plastic casing).

                  If a dongle is being used, test your Wifi with the MBP without any dongle first. Then, compare it with the dongle. If the WiFi problem happens when the dongle is plugged in, then it could be the dongle. Same goes for USB-C charging cable. If it is not original Apple one, I would unplug it and test WiFi. Basically, try Wifi without any cable first.

    What this device brings is an affordable dongle which supports DP 1.4 level type of USB-C/Alt mode dongle (yes, I know the output display is HDMI, but the bandwidth calculation is still based on the DP version it supports). We are starting to see these appearing, whereas about a year or two ago, not many choices on these (one of them being Apple digital AV adapter - but it has to be the newer revision and you may run into issues for some PC laptops). CableCreation released a number of quite consumer pocket friendly products lately. Their packaging is quite simple, but prices are quite reasonable. However, I do not know the reliability yet (since they are fairly new).

    If your laptop was purchased before 2020, or a 2019 model purchased in 2020, you need to find out its USB-C/alt-mode capability. Otherwise, with these DP 1.4 chipset based dongles, you are not going to get 4K/60Hz. It's not the dongle's fault, it is technically Intel's fault (the lousy embedded GPU). If your laptop has an nVidia or AMD based GPU, then there is a chance even if it is a 2018 model (i.e. Intel Coffee Lake), there is still a chance it offers DP 1.4 bandwidth in Alt-mode.

    The listing does warn you, but it may not be obvious to people.

    60Hz only supports for the 10 devices:
    MacBook Air 13’’ 2020
    MacBook Pro 15’’ 2019 / 2018
    MacBook Pro 16’’ 2019
    iPad Pro 12.9’’ 2020 / 2018
    iPad Pro 11’’ 2020 / 2018
    iMac 21.5’’ 2019
    iMac 27’’ 2019

    The list is playing it safe. If you have Macbook Pro 13 inch, unfortunately, they expect you to do your own research. As for PC laptops, the situation is just as complicated, if not even more complicated. The list is incomplete for Macs and there is no list for PC laptops (so you need to do your own research). Unfortunately, this is one area where it is difficult to get the information you need since laptop makers don't provide this information normally (this includes Apple).

    This is a mess introduced by Apple and Intel (Apple for jumping into USB-C too early, Intel for lousy GPU over the years). A question is whether this mess will end soon or we will have another round of this mess with DP 2.0. If you don't have a 4K display (you just want 2K/60Hz), then it is possible this isn't a problem.

        One of your products is pretty special, there is hardly any alternative (in fact, the alternative products are inferior, spec wise. They are also more expensive). I am still in a process of testing it. It's a bi-directional cable and I only tested the one direction. It's a pity I don't have a new enough laptop which can benefit from DP 1.4 based dongles yet. Otherwise, I probably would buy one. This one is technically better than the DP 1.2 based dongle I have, but right now, getting it means I can only use it as a DP 1.2 based dongle.

    • netsurfer on 13/09/2021 - 00:05

      Tested a Samsung S21 (not on this particular dongle, but gathered enough tech info). USB-C/Alt-mode: DisplayPort 1.2 support only. If you want 4K/60Hz, you won't be able to get it with these DP 1.4 2 lane dongle or dock (because the phone can only do DP 1.2, so the max you can get with ANY 2 lane based dongle is 4K/30Hz).

      Samsung DeX, there is no issue whatsoever because it is 1080p only so 2 lanes (even at DP 1.2) is plenty. Well, I cannot find any place in Settings to change this. As soon as I turned on DeX, resolution immediately drops to 1080p. Turned DeX off, back to 4K/60Hz.

      Not ruling out S21 Ultra could support DP 1.4 though I seriously doubt that.

    Comes in a neat package with a nice fabric sleeve for storage (a very nice addition IMO so it doesn't scratch your other electronics if in the same bag aso.) Haven't tested other than USB C passthrough but planning to make an Android TV box out of my old Galaxy s9.

      not sure what an i doing wrong but only seems to work for charging with PD charger.

      other - QC or regular USB chargers won't pass through (connected phone shows charging but at an extremely low rate <0.2A)

      I'm using it with Galaxy phone for DeX.
      This is not an issue for people using it with computers, they wouldn't benefit from phone chargers anyway.
