As computers and smartphones continue to move to the wide ranging and powerful USB-C interface, adapters such as this will prove increasingly useful. As they gain in popularity the quality of these devices improves as the prices fall and on Amazon for £66.69 before discounts this new model from Mosirui is currently a pack leader.

Packaged in an attractive mid market box were the adapter and a comprehensive and informative User Guide which I reproduce in my unboxing video.

The Docking Station works well with any Thunderbolt 3/4 or USB C port devices, such as MacBook Pro/ Air, iPad Pro 2018 and later. Make sure your device has a USB Type-C port supporting DP Alt Mode, power delivery, or a Thunderbolt 3/4 port.

Weighing in at 68g the 13.97 x 5.59 x 1.78 cm device is made of matt brushed metal with a hard wired USB-C cable and 3.5mm audio in/out port on one end and Gigabit Ethernet and Displayport ports on the other. Along one side are a USB-C 3.0 power out port and two HDMI 2.0 ports. On the other side are SD and TF slots, two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports

Here are the capabilities of the various interfaces:
USB-C Integrated 100w PD Power Input
1 PD: Up to 85W Power Output
1 DP port: Resolution 4K @144Hz
2 HDMI ports: Max resolution up to 4K@60Hz
2 USB 2.0 ports: Data transfer speed up to 480Mbps
2 USB 3.0 ports: Data transfer speed up to 5Gbps
1 SD card slot: Speed up to 104MB/s
1 TF card slot: Speed up to 104MB/s
1 Mic & Audio 2 in 1 Jack: 3.5mm Jack
1 RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet: 10M/100M/1000Mbps

The USB and SD cards function in the usual way. The HDMI and Display ports allow you to play video directly from your current generation MacBook or MacBook Pro as well as many high-end smartphones and other devices. Depending on the capabilities of your device you can support up to three monitors at once. The USB-C power port can be used to charge smartphones and other selected devices at up to 85w. Many of the functions can also work with selected USB-C smartphones but this varies from model to model.

I was perfectly happy with the operation of this little device, I tried it with a Windows 11 Dell laptop, Mac Mini4, MacBook Pro and with my Android phone and all worked well although not all features are supported on my phone, a limitation of the phone rather than this device.

Although not inexpensive, this is nevertheless a worthwhile addition to the kitbag of any Mac or USB-C device owner.

The Good
Great price
Works well
USB-C Power out port
No drivers needed

The Bad
Poorly Printed User Guide
