Introduction
The ALOGIC Super Dock is a revolutionary product which addresses the differing capabilities
of Windows, Mac and Chromebook computers to provide a portable docking solution that can
connect multiple peripherals and drive up to two external monitors independently from any
computer.
The key to the product's ability to do this is the integrated twin cable assembly which connects to
the host computer.
The two cables are as follows:
Primary Connection – Connect to Every Computer
The primary cable is marked with a dot symbol on the connector (•). This cable connects all the
ports on the dock to the computer and should be connected to the computer in every instance.
In addition to connecting the ports on the dock to the computer, this cable also carries video.
Depending on the capabilities of the connected computer, video can be sent to two monitors over
this connection at up to 4K UHD resolution at 60Hz.
Secondary Connection – Connect to Apple MacBook Computers
Some computers, such as Apple MacBooks, are unable to drive
two monitors independently over USB-C using the Multi Stream
Transport (MST) standard. Limitations also exist on the maximum
video resolution that can be shared with data over a single USB-C
cable that are dependent on the DisplayPort version supported by
the computer.
For computers with either of these limitations, both the primary
and secondary cables should be connected at the same time.
The secondary cable addresses the limitations to allow a second
external monitor to be used with the device on virtually any
modern computer, at the highest resolutions possible.
Apple computers are the most common type of computers which require the second cable to be
connected. The connectors on the cable have been designed to magnetically attach to each other
and connect directly to the twin ports on the side of Apple MacBook computers.
Users of Windows and Chromebook PCs generally do not need to connect the secondary cable
but doing so can provide access to higher output resolutions for users who wish to connect to
dual 4K displays (for example). If the cable is not in use, it can be looped back and clipped to itself
using the integrated tether to keep it out of the way when using the device as shown below.
