Now this is odd...

I've tested another cable - a very short one used with a Gen3 nvme
enclosure that I'm sure it's working - and I got Gen2 20 Gbps. I also
have tested this on Windows 11 and I still just got a Gen2 connection.

I was almost sure it was caused by a bad USB4 implementation by the PC
manufacturer, then I tried to connect a Thunderbolt 3 disk enclosure
via daisy chain to the Caldigit dock and I got the full Gen3 40 Gbps
connection! See the attached picture.

I'll try to connect the dock to a laptop via Thunderbolt 3 as a last
test and I'll report back.
