When the host device’s USB-C capabilities are fully compatible with our docking station features, and all software on your host device has been updated, the performance should be nearly flawless. Fortunately, if you know you want a dock with Thunderbolt 3 capabilities, Kensington has you covered with the SD5200T, a Thunderbolt 3 Universal Docking Station.On the left side of the dock is a Kensington lock slot to keep your hardware secure in an office setting, and on the back is where things get interesting. Actual Ethernet speeds may vary depending on, but not limited to, Internet bandwidth, Ethernet cables, network switches and the hardware and firmware performance of the host computer. DisplayLink must be installed on the host system that can compress the data of a video display for sending to the port on the dock, reducing the bandwidth requirements. If you have a laptop that needs considerably more power — something perhaps with a dedicated GPU— you'll no doubt see different performance, though most standard Ultrabooks should fare well.
