||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found at the ports available on the Mac Mini were not enough to suit my needs and this solved the problem.

Great device for my remote work station.

Excellent for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the new MACs being designed as they are; without, peripheral attachments, you got to use multi tools, this multi-tool does the trick. Though it runs a little warm, it does the job well. Cost wise it is right within my wallets range, yours too for that matter.

Too Darn Hot!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not loving this adapter. It gets very HOT. As other people have stated. Though the company says that’s normal - sometimes I feel like I’m playing Hot Potato with it. It’s way too hot for my taste. I think I might actually return it due to the price, it’s not cheap. And it concerns me that this little mechanism can get that heated. I just don’t know what other adaptors are out there that will give you the flexibility of the plug in options and if they also get heated? I cringe every time I need to use it.

Posted .Hello,
All electronic components will generate some amount of heat. The JCD383 will seem warmer than other computer peripherals you may be used to due to its aluminum construction. The aluminum case will transmit more heat from the internal components than a traditional plastic case.
Thanks,

Very flexible
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little unit is a powerhouse. A lot of flexibility given the connections and built very sturdy. Only drawback is it seems to run a little hot when multiple items are plugged in, otherwise a very smart unit

Posted .Hello, since the hub is built with compactness and portability in mind, it is expected to observe that the aluminum shell hub gets warmer, especially if the USB-C pass-through charging and/or all ports on the hub are utilized. Please note that hotter operating temperatures can be expected but should never become to hot to handle.

Great product for the computer desk

I would recommend it for anyone needing one

Little warm
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product, one downside is that it tends to get very warm to the touch. The aluminum case seems to hold the heat for a while. Other than this minor problem it has worked very well for for me.

Nice Dock!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought two of them, both work as advertised. This DOES work for Samsung Dex, but it needs power on the other USB-C port. Haven't messed with it too much on a Laptop or Desktop yet, but the one time I used it with my Dell E7480 it seemed to work fine.

Posted .DannaNicki, It is expected that the JCD383 USB Type-C Mini Dock will get very warm-to-moderately hot, but is certainly no need for alarm. We have stressed tested the JCD383 USB Type-C Mini Dock and have been able to determine that the average maximum operational temperature for the adapter is ~106 °F / 41 °C, while the adapter is under full-load or being used continuously for periods >~ 1hr. Please also take into consideration, the ambient temperatures will also affect the temperature that the adapter, as well as the computer, will operate at. If you are noticing that the JCD383 is exceeding the average temperature of 135 °F/57 °C, for periods > 30 minutes, your product may be faulty and may be needing to be replaced. In our testing, we have not found the JCD383 to run anything higher than 112°F/44 °C, for periods <10 minutes. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns regarding to this matter and an agent will be happy to further explain everything.
Thank you,

Flexible and compliments any device.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has everything one would need if a person's device is limited to only Thunderbolt/USB-C input-output. If your device has everything this product offers, purchase it anyway, because why not? It's your life and one must stay flexing.

USB-C Multi Adapter
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was not familiar with USB C. My new computer did not have an Ethernet port. At my desk, Ethernet is faster than wireless. This also has an HDMI plug in so you can unplug 1 connection and your computer is ready to travel. I don't use the HDMI feature because the adapter gets very hot. All in all I like it.

A useful adapter/hub
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As others have mentioned, it does get quite hot when charging my Mac, but that's not a problem for me. I would have liked a longer USB C cord, and I've ordered an extension so I'll have more flexibility in placement.

Posted .Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the JCD383. When it comes to the hot feel, please rest assured this is normal as electricity is running through it. If the hub ever becomes hot to the point where it is smoking or harming you, please don't hesitate to reach out to the support team and seek an exchange under the manufacturer's two year warranty.
Respectfully,
