Monitor Studio Display USB-C to display port

Hi markp_2000,

To clarify, what are you attempting to accomplish?

For example, are you trying to power and run the monitor through the dock rather than plugging right into the Mac? Or do you have another peripheral your'e attempting to access?

If you're just trying to run your Studio Display, plug the included Thunderbolt cable into any Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C port on your Mac. It will vary by the dock if you can plug it into the dock and still get full functionality out of the display.

If there's a different issue or if we've misunderstood the issue, let us know.

Take care.

You MUST connect the Studio Display with a genuine ThunderBolt cable from a ThunderBolt3 port on your computer.

Consider setting aside you old dock completely, because:

The Studio display has one Thunderbolt port which delivers up to 96W of charge to your Mac notebook or iPad and three USB-C ports for connecting other devices and accessories.

Thank you for providing the community with clarification.

In terms of having all of your peripherals connected to a dock and having that particular dock connected to your MacBook Pro is something, you can do.

However, please keep in mind that to get the full functionality out of your peripherals, you’ll need to ensure that the dock you purchased is compatible with your MacBook Pro and the peripherals you’re connecting.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

Cheers!
