Some key things you should know...
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For starters... it has 3 display output PORTS, but you can only use a max of two of them at once. And MacOS does not support DisplayPort daisy-chaining, so the max number of displays you can drive on a Mac with this dock is 2. Second, this requires a driver to be installed. The displayport worked and it's paired HDMI port seemed to work without the driver on a Mac, but the other HDMI port did not. The driver also requires some strange permissions on Mac, which makes it feel like a fragile implementation which can break whenever Apple decides to fundamentally change things (which is very likely). Finally, even with the driver installed, macOS did not recognize the audio out, even with something plugged into it. This is a bummer. With those things in mind, everything else seems to work well, and this dock demonstrates what the power and versatility of USB-C can be, and is almost perfect. We just need to get back to the idea of plug-and-play, and cooperating with well-established standards.

Posted .Hello,
Thank you for choosing the j5create triple display docking station. I would like to clear up some misconceptions that you may have. The docking station will support three external displays. You will need to use the VGA port, the lone HDMI port, and then either the display port or the other HDMI port that are marked ‘Or’. Your issue with the audio Jack may be related to the driver installation you may want to contact the j5create customer support team for assistance. Our contact information can be found on our website under the support dropdown. I hope you give us the opportunity to get your docking station up and running.
Thank you,
The j5create team

Great for hooking up two additional monitors
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little Gem has all the ports you need for less than 1/3 the price of the VisionTek I have had for two years before it stopped working on me. Great buy!

item works great - hdmi is great too
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.because apple refuses to put ports on their macbooks, this docking station is definitely needed. i used to use the ones where you plug into the side but it looked awkward hanging off. having this dock station lets me rest the laptop on top and nobody seems to notice. all the ports work and the hdmi out to my tv works great

Posted .Providing more monitors to one's Mac is what the JCD543 does best, providing the user with additional ports for peripherals, SD card readers, Ethernet and more is a feature of this device on top of resting your laptop on top of it. We're excited to hear it is meeting your needs!
Appreciatively,

Docking Station
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very functional docking station. I can plug in most of my devices and because of its smart size, it is not really visible on my desk. All the slots are working and I am glad I choose it to make my ebook versatile but either connecting it to my monitor setup displays or using it alone.

great dock for every possible monitor setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a super-handy dock that allows all of our USB-c machines to connect to every monitor you could possibly have at home. And the stand like configuration really helps keep enough air running under the laptop to deal with heat issues. Nice product at a good price.

It works, but overpriced
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has a decent number of ports, but two major drawbacks. 1. They don’t include the power cable. That will cost a lot more unless you have a compatible ac cord. 2. Very similar expensive as far as docking stations go.

Posted .The JCD543 does not include a power adapter. If your computer came with it's own USB-C power adapter, you may use it on the Dock if it meets the required wattage (up to 100W). The JCD543P USB-C Triple Display Docking Station with 100W PD Adapter has the included power adapter.

Easy setup
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to use and setup, we have two setup as one is for the office and one for home. We are able to use them on our Mac pros and dell laptops as they both have thunderbolt adapters. Makes it nice and easy as one cable to the laptop gives us all Of the accessories including power.

USB Type-C j5create Docking Station
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for a remote office to connect 2 monitors and wireless keyboard & mouse. Really communicates well with each piece however the pass through power from the docking station to the laptop does not match what the specs say and what the laptop requires, even after requiring the laptop power supply being required to power the docking station.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .DisplayPort Alt mode for HDMI or DisplayPort resolution of 4K @ 30 Hz. The dock can connect to a USB-C port that doesn’t support Power Delivery but it will not pass power through the connected device

Great Home Office Addition
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed this to connect my HP Firefly Zbook 14 up to 2 monitors in my home office. Super portable, has a bunch of inputs and connections, and has been working great for me so far. Only complaint is that the connector cable is a little stiff but other than that this, this thing is perfect. I have also used it with my IPad Pro with no issues.
