hi, just wondering if I could extend the right angle cable coming from the dock- that way the ugly dock + cables could vanish in the drawer while my deck is ventilated and easily accessible on top of the lowboard.

I haven't tried it, but it should work as long as it's wired for USB 3.0.

EDIT: I'm not sure what's the version of the USB port, so maybe get something rated for 10 Gbps, I guess.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I guessed, but I wasn't sure. Maybe I'll just try it.

Let me know how it goes.

Make sure you're using a type-C cable that actually has the high speed pins wired up.

A lot of cheap type-C cables are only USB 2.0, which works fine for charging phones and the like but can't do video out.
