Description
The LMP USB-C mini Dock can be seen as the digital version of a "Swiss Army Knife" when it comes to versatility and ease of use. There are 8 ports with which you can share or transfer data, reach to the internet or a network at high speed, make use of an external monitor with up to 4K resolution or charge a smartphone or tablet while you power up the laptop at the same time. All these ports have been combined in a sleak dock made out of aluminum.
The HDMI port allows the use of an external monitor or TV with a maximum resolution of 4K@60 Hz. The USB 3.0 ports transfer data from and to the laptop and are ideal for attaching multiple USB devices such as an external USB HDD/SSD enclosure, a USB mouse or a USB printer. The marked USB port (1.5 A/BC1.2) can charge a smartphone or tablet with up to 1.5 A. Over the Gigabit Ethernet port, a speedy connection to the internet or network can be established (no driver needed). The card reader supports SD (including SDHC/XC formats) as well as microSD memory cards and transfers photos and videos quickly to the computer. The USB-C port can be used to charge the laptop through a USB-C power adapter (Power Delivery) or as a data port. With the extra-long USB-C connection cable of 22 cm, the mini Dock is also ideal to be used with the latest iMac 24".
Easy to use, easy to carry, not wanting to miss it!
Note: Not compatible with Apple USB SuperDrive. May evolve heat when in use. For highest possible resolution of 4K @ 60 Hz over HDMI, attached display or TV must support the resolution and refresh rate.

FAQ
FAQ Categories: Charging
The new MacBook Air comes with an unfortunately weak USB-C power adapter with 30 W power. When this power supply is plugged into the mini Dock, the mini Dock draws its power from the external power supply (around 15 W). This leaves only 15 W for the MacBook Air, which is usually not enough to charge the MB Air. If a stronger power adapter is used, this should be possible again. It is therefore recommended to connect the power adapter directly to the USB-C port of the MB Air M1; the mini Dock then draws power from the MB Air and can be operated normally.

Basically, you can use only the iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010) with a Mini-DisplayPort connection with the current Mac with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports. You need a USB-C to Mini-DisplayPort adapter (e.g. 16134/16138, LMP USB-C to Mini-DisplayPort adapter) or a USB-C dock with Mini-DisplayPort port (e.g. 18641/18645/19009, LMP USB-C Travel Dock 4K 9 Port or 17113/17278/18954, LMP USB-C Compact Dock 4K 8 Port or 17116, LMP USB-C Display Dock 4K 10 Port). Then a Mini-DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable (8305, LMP Mini-DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable) must be attached to the dock and the iMac.
With iMac (Mid 2011 to Mid 2014), it is possible to use the iMac as monitor with a Thunderbolt connection only. With a newer iMac, a Target Mode with an iMac is not possible anymore.

FAQ Categories: Hardware
It is normal that any USB-C hub or dock becomes hot when attached to the laptop. The aluminum housing is meant to dissipate the heat from the inside to the environment. There is a number of chipsets working on the inside which are producing some heat since they are constantly in a stand-by position to react quickly should any port be used. The surface temperature is well within the allowed limits and reaches about 40°C in stand-by mode, 43°C under normal use and a max. of 48°C when all ports are in full use, CPU load at 100% and PD attached. The heat does neither pose a danger to the laptop or any attached device, nor does it influence the USB-C hub's/dock's performance or even shorten the life-span.
Furthermore, the surface appears to be hotter than it actually is since it is touched with the very senstive fingertips. We suggest to remove the USB-C hub/dock when not needed in order not to emitt unnecessary heat to the environment and not to use any energy.
