Does anyone know of a USB C hub which can drive 4K UHD at 60 Hz and pass power to a MBP?
As far as I can tell the only options are for 30hz. Which means the only way to have a one cable external montor, power and hub (ie the usb c dream) is with a usb c monitor.
Am I missing something?
There are adapters out there that say they do it, but I don’t have any personal experience with them. None of them that I see have any other USB ports on them though, just the power passthrough port.
Apple’s multi port adaptor (HDMI version) does it. If you can use Thunderbolt 3 then there are a fair number of docks that manage it quite well.
Could you include a link? The one I found (https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MJ1K2ZM/A/usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter) only does 30hz
I (unintentionally) lied to you! It really does only do 4K@30Hz! When I traced the cable back from my TB dock, I must have made a mistake and followed the wrong one. The funny thing is that I could have sworn that when I was setting things up that I had to use the Apple connector to convert from USB-C to HDMI for the 4K monitor because it worked at 60Hz (and because I’d ordered the wrong cables).
My whole (desktop computing) life has been a lie for the past year!
(Sorry if I got your hopes up)
These might do what you’re looking for though:
No worries, I just wanted to check I wasn’t missing something.
I’m going to order this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B075V5JK36/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A3HSZYDQ78K984&psc=1
I was just hoping only to have one cable going into my laptop. #firstworldproblems
I understand that desire. I opted to buy TB3 docks for my home and work office which give me that one-cable solution (for two monitors even), but they’re not exactly portable.
