Daisy Chain, Power Delivery & Power

Pass-Through

Use the peripheral Thunderbolt 3 port on LaCie 1big Dock SSD Pro for:

Direct connection to a device or display that is compatible with Thunderbolt 3 technology.
Daisy chaining devices and displays that are compatible with Thunderbolt 3 technology.
Connecting a laptop's USB-C power adapter in order to pass-through power to a laptop connected to
1big Dock's host Thunderbolt 3 port.

How to daisy chain

The peripheral Thunderbolt 3 port on 1big Dock SSD Pro can be used to daisy chain compatible Thunderbolt
3 peripherals, such as hard drives and monitors. If you have another Thunderbolt 3 storage device, make
certain to connect it to the daisy chain before adding compatible displays or USB 3.1 (USB-C) devices. See
below for an example of the order of devices in a Thunderbolt 3 daisy chain.

1.  Computer with a Thunderbolt 3 port.
2.  LaCie 1big Dock SSD Pro (connected to computer via host Thunderbolt 3 port).
3.  LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 3 (connected to 1big Dock's peripheral Thunderbolt 3 port).

4.  Second LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 3 (connected to first d2 via Thunderbolt 3 port).
5.  LaCie Rugged SSD (connected to second d2 via Thunderbolt 3 port).

USB 3.1 (USB-C) devices can terminate a Thunderbolt 3 daisy chain and should always be the last device. It
must be connected to the secondary Thunderbolt 3 port on the preceding device. (The USB 3.1 device will
not be recognized if connected to the preceding device’s USB-C port.)

Power delivery and power pass-through

1big Dock SSD Pro delivers power to your connected laptop and compatible peripheral devices.

No device connected to peripheral port

Host port

Peripheral port

Important cable info: When connecting 1big Dock's peripheral Thunderbolt 3 port to a
compatible device, use cables specifically constructed to support Thunderbolt 3.
