This is a conditional review. When the G4 arrived, it did not work properly out of the box. Several days of frustration attempting to understand what was wrong connecting this to my HP Fury G8 17” and two standalone monitors was very frustrating as the monitors would not display, my G8 continued to go into sleep mode despite my settings and the connected SSD’s would not show up as connected.
A 1-2 hour session was required with HP Business Support, downloading several SP files and installing same to get this G4 to work properly - kudos to HP Business Support, however this G$ should have come with an installation cd that would have prompted all of this when I first connected it to the laptop. That would have saved me at least 2-3 days of frustration and loss of working hours.

Major issues with the docking station.
I am having a lot of trouble with the docking station. Something is not working right with the communication with the docking station and the computer. All of the external items are dropping out. At this point the docking station is only good for power.

Paul's HP Thunderbolt Dock 280W G4 w/Combo Cable Review
Every time I plug the Ethernet cable into it I lose internet connection, but as soon as I connect direct to the laptop, I'm back online. I didn't spend all this money to have to connect to the laptop. That's why I bought the docking station. So just the laptop to the docking station and done. Nothing else has been an issue. Just have been too busy to contact HP.

Excellent Investment
The newer block dock requires less space than the original docks. I have had no problems with connections, with device communication, or device recognition. My complaint or suggestion is to remove the DP ports and add more USB-A and USB-C ports. I had to add a USB hub for the rest of my connections.

Needs firmware update
When I first connected it to my laptop and connected my hubs to the dock, the laptop only saw one device from each hub. I checked HP's web site and found out that the dock had been delivered with out-of-date firmware. I downloaded and installed the latest dock firmware, after which everything was hunky-dory.
It's HP's job to make sure their devices are delivered with up-to-date firmware. HP failed to do that. The customer should not have to fix HP's failures.
Bottom line: device fine, HP failed.

cable has 2 connectors. I need to extend them. Is one a usb c? And the other is what?
The combo is Thunderbolt and an AC barrel connection that is for the power supply of the unit. You would not want to try to extend those as that could cause potential issues. The better option would be to extend the outputs which may cause minor delay or some visual quality loss.
