Belkin on Monday introduced a new dual-powered Thunderbolt 3 dock that allows users to connect multiple peripherals and storage devices to a mobile workstation like MacBook.

Touted as the "world's first" Thunderbolt-certified dual-powered dock, Belkin's Thunderbolt 3 Dock Core features 40 Gbps transfer rates, 60W upstream charging — good enough for a MacBook Pro — and support for two 4K 60Hz monitors or one 8K monitor.

A tethered Thunderbolt 3 cable connects directly to a host Mac or Windows laptop.

Dual-power is a major selling point for the Thunderbolt 3 Dock Core.

The Thunderbolt 3 Dock Core will sell for $169.99 when it launches in July.
