FAQ
Can I use Thunderbolt 3 or 5 cables with this switch?
No. For optimal performance, only the included USB4 20 Gbps cables should be used. Substituting with Thunderbolt 3/4/5 cables may reduce bandwidth and cause instability.
Will this switch work with macOS?
Yes, it works with macOS when paired with a Thunderbolt 4 dock that supports MST. However, macOS does not support 8K@30Hz; you will get up to 4K@60Hz.
How many monitors can I connect?
The switch shares a single monitor or docking station between two computers. For dual‑monitor setups, each computer must have its own dedicated dock that supports MST.
Is the RF remote battery‑operated?
The remote uses a replaceable CR2032 coin cell, providing up to six months of use under normal conditions.
What is the warranty period?
Cable Matters offers a 2‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and hardware failures.
