This compact Thunderbolt 3 dock turns a laptop into a graphics workstation through a single 40Gbps cable. Its rear panel carries two USB-C receptacles: one Thunderbolt 3 link to the host and one 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 port for fast external drives. A 330W external power brick feeds graphics cards up to 300W, and a Y-adapter can pair two bricks for more headroom. Note that it does not charge the connected laptop over Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt 3 eGPU dock with a TB3 host port plus a 10Gbps USB-C data port, powered by a 330W external brick.

Notes & Compatibility
Two rear USB-C receptacles: a Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) host link and a separate USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) Type-C downstream data port. Uses a 330W external power adapter (300W to the card); a Y-adapter allows two adapters in parallel. Does not provide meaningful host charging over Thunderbolt. Internal PCIe 3.0 x16 slot is not modeled as a cable port.
