Hello, Thank you for your question. If you need a longer "USB-C to USB-A" cable, any cable should work correctly. "USB-C to USB-C" is a different story. There are too many things that may not work properly because the cable needs to support data transfer and power (charging via USB-C). In both cases, I strongly recommend looking for cables that are not cheap, but this is especially true for "USB-C to USB-C" cables.

Hello netsprite, I don't use the night mode but I tested it for you (out of interest). Night mode works for me. There is the possibility to activate the night mode directly --> Settings > System > Display > Settings for the night mode - button "Activate now". If it is greyed out and cannot be operated, try updating the display driver or reinstalling it. Also check, as already mentioned, if your external monitor supports this. I wish you much success in trying it out.

Mine also makes a very high-pitched noise when it is switched on. This is most likely a coil whine problem: some components charge and discharge at an audible frequency and this charging/discharging introduces a slight physical movement. If the noise bothers you too much, you should probably switch to another product.

I have 2 monitors on my computer (1x FullHD, 1x 4K) which works without any problems. The whole thing with an HP Elitebook with Thunderbolt. I don't see any problems there. But the Macbook only has USB C. That means the data rate is 10Gbit/s if I'm not mistaken. FullHD at 60Hz needs approx. 8.5GB/s, so two of these should work. If you have higher resolution monitors it will be difficult. 2x 4K60Hz with the hp should work according to the specification.

Hello, Yes, you are using this docking station with a closed laptop. Please note that you need to install a DisplayLink driver for the docking station to work properly. Without this driver, the docking station will not work. Please note that you are not installing the DisplayLink app as the app does not currently support clamshell mode. If you have any further questions, please contact our technical support directly: support@itecproduct.com Kind regards i-tec team -------------- Hello, Yes, you use this docking station with a closed laptop.

Hello, No, the charging process on the side of the docking station cannot be interrupted. The docking station complies with all official PowerDelivery standards. According to these standards, the laptop is the main device that requires / orders how much power it needs from the docking station. However, modern batteries and laptop electronics may choose not to charge the battery. Many laptop manufacturers have set a limit (around 90%) when the laptop will not charge the battery if the capacity exceeds this limit. Kind regards i-tec team ---------------------------------- Hello, No, it is not possible to stop charging the battery on the side of the docking station.

This is a very specific question to a combination of devices which very rarely can be answered. I use this docking station since over a year on a daily basis in mi home office with my private as well as with my business laptop (Windows PCs) over Thunderbolt with two different monitors (HDMI and DisplayPort). So far the only downside with this product is that from time to time the resolution on one screen changes to worse. ... In this case I just turn the affected monitor off and on again and everything is back to normal. Probably it's not even the fault of this docking station.

A reaction from Digitec via "Question about the product" is unlikely to come. Better to call support directly (+41445759500) or write https://helpcenter.digitec.ch/hc/de/requests/new?ticket_form_id=39231

Hello, This docking station does not support 144 Hz. A maximum of 60 Hz can be handled by the DisplayLink chipset (used inside). However, we have other Thunderbolt3 docking stations that support 144 Hz. A USB-C docking station can process a maximum of 120 Hz at FullHD. Can you please contact our technical support directly? Please let us know which laptop you have. Our email address is support@itecproduct.com Kind regards i-tec team ------------------ Hello, This docking station does not support 144Hz. 60Hz is maximum that DisplayLink chipset (that is used inside) can handle.

Hello, This docking station uses DisplayLink. In order for any DisplayLink docking station to work on Ubuntu (or any Linux distribution), you have to install DisplayLink drivers - they are not part of Live CD - external monitors will not work there. Regarding the performance and quality, it really depends on the CPU of your laptop, resolution of external monitor(s) and work that you do on your laptop. DisplayLink software is only able to use CPU and because of that performance may vary. I use Dell XPS 9380 on Ubuntu 20.04 with 2 external fullHD monitors and everything works correctly, but I do use it only for regular office work. Can you please send an e-mail to our Technical support? Our e-mail address is support@itecproduct.com Please let us know what your current setup is, what kind of work do you do. And what exactly do you mean with bad image quality and bad performance? Best regards i-tec Team
