## Description

The USB-C SOHO Dock’s dual video connectors and pass-through charging capability make it an ideal desktop docking solution for creative professionals looking to expand their laptop’s connectivity in an elegant, all-in-one solution.

Review: The greatest selling point of this hub is that the primary connector isn't soldered to the hub, which means if the time comes the connecting cable breaks, you can always swap it out. Not having an ethernet port is a bit of a loss, though I find an ethernet to usb/c dongle works similarly with competitive gaming-level results. Also works great with a steam deck. I did notice that sometimes, the hdmi port wants to be plugged after the steam deck and the external power has been plugged into the hub before it starts working. Not a dealbreaker since it doesn't affect transfer speeds. The displayport never had this issue for me though. Item feels solid, the all-metal housing feels great to hold and very clearly dissipates heat well during usage. Despite getting warm, it never got painfully hot, even after 12 straight hours of use. I'd recommend it for people who want a hub with two good ports for display outputs, and the assurance of a long-term replaceable main cable for their USB hub. As someone who uses their steam Deck daily, this has been an absolute godsend. Can definitely recommend it. If I had to be nitpicky about it, I'd say the lack of an RJ45 port feels weird, but again, it's not a big deal.
Review: Mine is MacBook Pro 2020 with 4 thunderbolts model, and no matter what I do there it only supports 30hz and can't get up to 60hz as promised. I have tried both HDMI and Displayport cables. Unfortunately, it doesn't work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it support 3440x1440@120Hz?**
A: The answer is no. I tested on a 3440 x 1440 monitor with max 100hz refresh. No matter which device and port I tried, including HDMI/DP for monitor, TB3, TB4, USB Type C with DP on Dell XPS and Macbook air with M1 for input, the maximum refreshing rate is 60HZ. So unless the latest firmware is above 1.2.7, it should be impossible to support 3440x1440@120Hz.

**Q: Can this be used with a steam deck to serve as power supply and hdmi connector?**
A: It supports HDMI 2.0b.

For power question you should go to the Caldigit web site and link to this device and under specs it should state if ny of the ports support power supply.

**Q: is output not at 4k 60hz? or doesn't even work if used with 13" macbook air 2019 (intel)?**
A: Yes Full 4K 60Hz Monitor Support. I have not tried with intel Mac but works on my M1 Mac air and an intel windows laptop no problems.

**Q: Can i plug a usb mic to this ?**
A: I don’t see why not. Unless it requires to be connected directly to the computer and not through a hub.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***N on 11 August 2021*

I was frustrated to read reviews for this high quality and well engineered CalDigit. At least I assumed it was as high quality as the larger brother CalDigit I already owned. Happily, as it turned out, my assumptions were correct. This smaller CalDigit hub is clearly a labour of love from CalDigit, not some lowest common denominator product from a no-name company. It works flawlessly with my MacBook Air and an external 27" monitor running at 2560 x 1440 pixels. There was, however, one setting on my Mac that I needed to adjust. MacOS assumes it can run the monitor at refresh rate of 144Hz -- this is a setting easily found in Preferences > Displays > Refresh rate. While the monitor can cope, the CalDigit was not entirely happy and the screen would chop and change. It was clearly an issue such as refresh rate. I was able to see enough to try an adjustment or two and as soon as I tried just one setting down, from 144Hz to 120Hz, the problem went away. Permanently. Since setting MacOS, in Preferences > Displays, to 120Hx refresh rate, this CalDigit has been perfect. This is not surprising given CalDigit clearly state: "All of CalDigit’s docks are fully compatible with the new M1-based Macs including the ability to charge a laptop and more". Compared to the larger hubs made by CalDigit, this one, for the money, is excellent value, lacking in one area only that I miss; audio out. But a quick check and I found that by connecting a display over HDMI rather than DisplayPort, means audio is sent to the monitor, and from there I can get an audio out and elegantly keep my one cable solution for plugging in my MacBook Air. I have no affiliation with CalDigit, I have just worked with I.T since before the PC was sold (CP/M days) and I know a good piece of engineering when I meet it. I would re-buy this unit immediately if I needed another. Thanks CalDigit.
