This is a clever and forward-thinking company that solves techie problems that many of us endure. StarTech accessories are reliably in use in Nemo’s teaching studio, and have been for years. It’s easy to combine forces using clever combinations of the first two items inserted into the latter. You can attach demand-heavy external gear to the 10Gbps and 5Gbps ports, and you can power multiple add-ons using the three USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports. When I need extra range and muscle, this little giant works flawlessly.īoth of the above are bus-powered only using the magic built into Apple’s new laptop Macs with two or four USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports.įor professional use, the AC powered workspace workhorse Thunderbolt 3 USB 3.1 Multi-Channel Hub Controller – TB33A1C – $270 U.S. can connect to two HDMI displays plus attach a pair of legacy USB devices. StarTech’s impressive Dual 4K Monitor Mini Thunderbolt 3 Dock with HDMI – TB3DKM2HD – $183 U.S. I use this e very day and I can’t conduct my workshops without it. It’s a tremendously useful single-trick cable. It connects a Thunderbolt 3/USB-C Mac to an HDMI display or projector. The easiest to describe is the USB-C to HDMI Adapter Cable – 1m – CDP2HDMM1MB – $43 U.S. No drivers or downloads are required: they just work. I’ve been testing and using them in my weekly MacNemo workshops with success, from a new 15 inch MacBook Pro. You can eliminate annoying adapters and goofball port plug arrangements. You can charge your gear and daisy-chain multiple devices. You can provide power and video/audio signals to additional USB-C and HDMI 4K displays and projectors. You can add ports for high and normal bandwidth USB external devices.
