Additionally, the power output of the rear USB-C port raises the bar to 3.0A (15W) of power, even surpassing the iPad Pro's supplied 12W charger. iPad Pro users can now seamlessly charge 25% faster through the USB-C dock compared to the factory charger, making it easier to top off the battery even while iPad Pro is running full throttle!

Compatible with Thunderbolt 3
USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 both use the Type-C connector. This means that the USB-C Dock can be used on a Thunderbolt 3 computer for added flexibility. This will allow everyone to use the USB-C Dock on a variety of computers.

Aluminum Construction
CalDigit carries a philosophy of utilizing the best materials and components to ensure years of reliable operation and customer satisfaction. Instead of using plastic to reduce overall cost, the design team reverted to choosing aluminum as their top pick for its outstanding heat dissipating properties, superior structural integrity, weight, fit and finish, aesthetics and 100% recyclability. CalDigit stands behind every product and aims to deliver the highest quality to everyone, even if it means cutting profits to furnish the best.

Premium Certified USB-C Cable
The vast majority of the USB-C cables on the market are inexpensive clones from USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 cables. These dangerous cables are potential fire hazards and can damage your devices. Certified USB-C cables feature calculated EMI shielding and a built-in electronic marker (e-marker), which enables connected devices to identify the capabilities of the cable, host and device, ensuring optimum performance and safety. CalDigit only includes certified USB-C cables for full compatibility between all devices.

Apple SuperDrive
CalDigit is known for it's Mac centric design and is passionate about designing products that compliment Apple devices aesthetically and functionally. While none of the other USB-C docks on the market are able to support Apple's SuperDrive, CalDigit's USB-C Dock is the first to deliver such compatibility.

Shared Wi-Fi
Mac laptops without an Ethernet port could be detrimental for those who require a reliable internet connection. The USB-C Dock brings back this missing connection and while doing so, conveniently enables the ability to share your internet over Wi-Fi.
