Needs power supply
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needs to have its own power supply but has a lot of openings.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .The USB-C Triple Display Docking Station works while the Dock is connected to a computer. The USB-C power-in port on the Dock allows additional power to the USB ports if using a high-powered USB device. It will also allow pass-through charge if a computer supports USB Power Delivery 2.0 or 3.0 features. The JCD543P includes the Power Adapter or you can use your own USB-C power adapter.
Excellent addition for MacBooks

Bad docking station
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This docking station is not good. It's finicky, meaning sometimes my 2nd monitor shows up right away but often I have to go into settings and set it up again. It did not come with a power cable. That's ridiculous. I would not recommend this docking station to anyone.

Posted .The JCD543P comes with a Power Adapter, JCD543 does not. You can use your personal USB-C power adapter. We recommend 75W or higher.
To better assist you, please contact our Technical Support Team and provide more details about when the second monitor fails to show up? Any specific conditions or scenarios you've noticed might help us identify the root cause.

Ports Galore, just not for USBC Monitors
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it to connect an USBC monitor, but unfortunately it does not support it. Other than that it's great for Laptops that lack the proper ports.

It is working great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to do a couple restarts after downloading drivers to get them all working correctly but been working fine since with 3 external monitors. I purchased the charger as well and it charges my zbook and spectre laptops.

Posted .Supports Mirror and Extended modes on both Mac & Windows. The easiest way to add a second or third display. Charge your notebook or desktop through the JCD543 power-in port.
MacBook Pro M1 Chip NO 3 monitor extend
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I specifically bought this to EXTEND up to THREE monitors, as the packaging states. As a docking station it's decent as there are many ports BUT I have a new Macbook pro with M1 Chip and MacOS Big Sur 11.2.2. Apparently the M1 Chip doesn't allow more than 1 screen to be extended so now I'm back to searching for alternate options. There are plenty of hacks to get all three monitors to extend but you need to buy an hdmi adaptor with displaylink built into it. If you have a Mac, pre M1 this will probably do the monitor extending just fine. Be aware that it WILL NOT EXTEND THREE MONITORS on M1 based Macs.

Posted .Hello Shug, we have Beta drivers for M1 to support multiple displays. However, though it is a Beta, we are still continuing to update those drivers. If interested and would like to try, please visit our website and select "Support" > "Downloads/Drivers". Cordially, j5.

Get a different dock. Don't waste your time.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this dock for my work computer. I want to like it, but it works for about a week or two and then all the sudden it just stops. Will not power devices and refuses to connect to the computer that is plugged in. I do not know what is wrong with these docks but they are faulty.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the new Mac and needed more ports for uploading film and to add another screen. This thing has EVERYTHING that I need. I can hook up 3 cameras using the USB, insert the MicroSD from the drone, and still have a port to charge my phone and my Mac!

Posted .Hi Charles,
It is great to hear that the JCD543 is giving you all of the connectivity that you need. We hear from a lot of customers that their new computers do not have the ports that they need and that our docking stations give them the ability to do their work.
Have a great day,

AWESOME PRODUCT
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do wanted to keep it! Started with a MacBook Pro but ended up with a Mac mini so I returned it but I’ll tell you what the black part is sort of tacky and you can still put it on the monitor stand as angle! Everything worked perfectly.
