Features
USB-C Docking Station Turns Your Device’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 Port into 10 New Ports
This universal USB-C dock with PD Charging expands the potential of your Windows laptop, Chromebook, MacBook Pro, smartphone or PC’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. Connect the dock using the included USB-C cable, and add 10 ports to your device:
- 4K HDMI
- (2x) 4K DisplayPort
- RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
- USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C
- (3x) USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
- USB-C PD charging
- 3.5 mm mini stereo
Supports USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode for Transmitting Audio/Video Signals
By connecting the detachable USB-C cable to a source device that supports USB DisplayPort Alt Mode, you can output 4K video and digital audio to a compatible monitor, television or projector without installing special software drivers.
Transmits Crystal-Clear 4K or 5K Video and Digital Audio with 4:4:4 Color
The DisplayPort and HDMI outputs support single-monitor 4K resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz with 2.1-channel surround sound. Both DisplayPort outputs can be connected to a single display in order to transmit 5K video. HDCP 2.2 compliance allows you to stream 4K Amazon and Netflix content with no complications. This dock also supports 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for top-level PC gaming or using your HDTV as a PC monitor.
Various DisplayPort Versions Allow Connection of Multiple Displays
By connecting the included USB-C cable to a source that supports DisplayPort 1.2 HBR2, DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 or DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 with DSC support, you may connect up to three displays simultaneously. This allows you to display the same image on all monitors, extend your host desktop across all with different windows open on each, or combine all into one large display as a video wall. Note: See Cable Matrix in the included Owner’s Manual (also downloadable in PDF format from this page) for more information.
USB 3.2 Gen 2 Ports Connect Keyboards, Thumb Drives and Other Peripherals
Three USB-A ports and one USB-C port accept USB peripherals, such as flash drives, RAID storage, mice and keyboards. All four ports support USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps and are backward compatible with previous USB generations. One USB-A port also supports 5V 1.5A (7.5W) of power dedicated to fast-charging your mobile device. Note: Host device must support USB OTG (On-the-Go).
PD Charging Port Charges the Connected Notebook, Tablet or Other Device
A second USB-C port supports Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 charging of connected PD Charging-compliant devices, such as laptops, Kindles, iPads and Android smartphones. Connect the source device to the USB-C PD port, which supports power input up to 20V 4.25A (85W). Note: USB-C PD does not support Quick Charge (QC).
Accesses a Wired Gigabit Ethernet Network
The RJ45 port offers access to a Gigabit Ethernet network when Wi-Fi is unavailable or when a wired connection offers faster speeds. Connect using a UTP cable (sold separately), and enjoy true 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds for fast data transfers.
Connects Speakers, Microphone and Other Audio Equipment
The USB-C docking station’s 3.5 mm mini stereo jack is convenient for connecting speakers, headphones or a microphone to your workstation. You can listen to music or record the latest episode of your podcast.
Anti-Theft Lock Protects the USB-C Docking Station When You Aren’t Around
Connect a user-supplied computer/laptop security cable lock (not included) to this port to protect the dock against theft.
Ready to Use Right Out of the Package
The plug-and-play USB-C dock is specifically designed for use with Windows laptops and other notebooks, smartphones, tablets and devices equipped with a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. It requires no extra software to be downloaded or installed. Its compact footprint fits easily into your desk space without taking up much valuable room.
