Each display or Thunderbolt peripheral consumes its chosen output. A data-only USB-C socket cannot drive a monitor. Shared bandwidth and actual charging depend on the host and connected devices.
Start with what’s included.
- TS3 Plus dock
- 180W supply
- AC cord
- Certified 40Gbps Thunderbolt host cable; exact researched Amazon variant states 0.8 m
- Rubber feet strips
Display cables and video adapters are separate. The checker counts them as owned only when you confirm the required quantity and rating; otherwise their cost remains unknown.
180W is the power-supply rating; host delivery is at most 87W. These are different numbers.
EXACT HOSTS, QUALIFIED ANSWERS
Your computer sets the screen limit.
| Our checked host | Native display budget | Remaining conditions |
|---|---|---|
| MacBook Air M1 (2020) | One external native display total | macOS 10.12 or later; cable, power and exact timing checks still apply |
| MacBook Air 13-inch M4 (2025) | Two external native displays total | macOS 15 or later; the finder covers up to two 4K60 routes |
| Dell XPS 13 9315 laptop | Up to two checked native display routes | Windows 11 with suitable Thunderbolt/graphics drivers, and the required display cables |
Displays connected elsewhere use the same native display budget. No DisplayLink workaround is assumed. Other computer models and higher-resolution/high-refresh modes need separate evidence.
Know these limits.
- Firmware 44.1 enabled 87W; manufacturer says this update is not required for units bought after November 2020. Old/used unknown-revision stock may be 85W. Factory charger requirements above 87W are not fulfilled by the dock alone.
- Two HDMI monitors need one active DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter and one USB-C-to-HDMI adapter. Ordinary USB-C host connections are unsupported.
Protected streaming needs a verified monitor/cable/adapter/service chain. A native dock alone does not guarantee HDCP playback.
