Product Manuals

Q: Will I be able to use this to connect 2 monitors to the new 16" macbook pro, and can the display be extended across all 3 monitors?

A: Yes, Mac display and 2 other monitors.

Q: What does it do to your computer? What purpose does it serve?

A: This unit adapts a USB-C / Thunderbolt port to Dual HDMI, USB 3 & 2 ports and a network connection. My MacBook Pro only has two Thunderbolt ports and this unit lets me connect external monitors, USB devices and a wired RJ45 network connection. Hope that helps.

Q: Does this come with its own power supply?

A: No, it does not; it is powered by whatever it is plugged into. If you are plugged into a laptop (as an example), the laptop would have its own power supply and would also power the dock.

Q: how do i connect this docking station to an older macbook pro (2011) which has a thunderbolt 1 connector.

A: Hi. The Belkin F4U098 is only compatible with OS X® and Windows devices that are equipped with Thunderbolt 3 technology.

Q: The description specifically states it supports 60 Hz monitors. Will it also support 75 Hz monitors?

A: Hi. The Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Mini HD (F4U098) only supports the following information for both Single and Dual Monitors: 1280 x 720 at 60 Hz 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz

Q: Does this work with the new M1 MacBook Pro?

A: Hello, Luka. The Belkin - Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station will work but limited. The Apple M1 MacBook models do not support dual monitors when using a Thunderbolt 3 dock. You can use a dock with a DisplayLink technology such as Belkin's USB-C docks. You can check this link for more info: (https://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=317395).

Q: Will this docking station work with a Lenovo ThinkPad T480S> is there anything needed to do other than plug it to power and plug the thunderbolt line into the ThinkPad? thanks!

A: Hi. 1) Yes, the Belkin F4U098 is compatible with OS X® and Windows devices that are equipped with Thunderbolt 3 technology. 2) No, you wouldn’t need to do anything other than plugging it to a power outlet and connecting the ThinkPad to the dock as it is a plug and play device.

Q: Is this compatible with an HP Pavillion 15 CSIXXX. I have been trying to find a docking station so I can run 2 external monitors from my laptop but have been having hard time finding one that is compatible with the lap top I have for some reason.

A: Hi, Cassandra. The Belkin F4U098 supports Mac or Windows laptop, Windows® 8 or higher, macOS® Sierra or higher, and is compatible with OS X® and Windows devices that are equipped with Thunderbolt 3 technology.

Solid performing portable dock
The Belkin Thunderbolt 3 mini dock is a good dock for travel and serves it's purpose pretty well. Because it's Thunderbolt 3, it supports higher data transfer speeds than USB C, and I have experienced pretty consistent transfers with USB 3 devices connected. Unfortunately, because this is the mini-dock without external power, it doesn't supply power over USB C. Belkin also opted for one USB 3 and one USB 2 where it would have been preferable to have two USB 3 ports on the front. The gigabit ethernet port performs well and consistent, making full use of the gigabit speeds on my internal network, and as close as possible for my gigabit fiber connection. My monitors are not 4k, but I do run 4 of them off my laptop when at my desk, so reliability is key. I haven't had any issue with the display ports, and I haven't noticed any lag, which can sometimes be present in USB video adapters. Size wise, this dock is pretty small, sizing up pretty close to a smartphone, only a bit fatter. It's a good size for traveling. The catch with a dock like this is that it's nice to plug all your devices in and only have to deal with one cable to connect everything back to your machine when you come back to it. But being a mini-dock made for traveling, you have to unplug everything anyways if you travel with it. Ultimately, I found myself appreciating the stationary dock approach with everything staying plugged into the dock, and leaving it behind when I traveled. I then found myself missing the ability to charge over USB C. The biggest drawbacks I have with this device are the glossy black front and the USB 2 port. I travel with several USB 3 devices, and my laptop only has 2 ports, so I play musical USB ports when I need to use multiple USB 3 devices at a time. The glossy black front seems trivial, but it collects dust and dirt easily. A matte finish might have made that a bit better, as I constantly find myself wanting to wipe it off even just sitting on the desk. Overall it's a fine dock, and it performs as well as I have needed it to. I have even used it on another laptop that doesn't support Thunderbolt 3 over USB, and while it didn't support the video output, the ethernet and USB connectivity performed as expected for non-Thunderbolt USB C. My biggest regret, though, given how often I leave it on my desk now, is that I didn't get the one with power over USB C.

Simple to use, good build quality
The Belkin ThunderBolt 3 Mini Dock came into my life at just the right time. My old laptop was recently stolen and I tried to live without one for a while. I finally gave in and ordered a workhorse that I hope I don’t carry too often. With this new laptop, I still aspired to simplify my connections and lighten my load. The Belkin does the job. ThunderBolt 3 simplicity and speeds connect me with up to two 4K (or below) monitors, as well as my network (gigabit Ethernet) and two more devices (USB-A 3.0 and 2.0, respectively). The ports are labeled and the connections are solid. I like the matte aluminum and piano black enclosure. Nice feel and durability. Bonus? Belkin provides a $2,500 warranty if your equipment is damaged while connected to the dock!
