Feature Packed
Charge
- Up to 60W of USB Power Delivery
If your device supports USB Power Delivery (USB PD), this docking station supports up to 60 watts (60W) of charging to your host device.
This means you won’t need to use the charger that came with your laptop when you’re at your desk, on supported hosts. The one USB-C cable from the dock is all you’ll need to stay charged and connect all your devices.
Some laptops may require more power than this dock provides (60W). The Dell XPS 15 9550/9560 and Precision 5510/7510, for example, will display a warning during boot if connected to a 60W power adapter, rather than a Dell 130W power adapter. These systems may still charge, but at a slower rate, and may use battery power when under heavy load.
Display
-
- 1x HDMI (Alt Mode)
- 2x HDMI (DisplayLink)
With one USB-C (USB Type-C) cable connected to the dock, overcome the limited number of display outputs and ports on your device. This dock connects up to three HDMI displays on supported devices.
HDMI 1 supports resolutions up to 4K 30Hz. HDMI 2 and HDMI 3 support resolutions up to 1920×1200 @ 60Hz each For USB-C ports that do not support Alternate Mode video output will be limited to displaying through the two DisplayLink HDMI ports.
Note: HDMI can be adapted to DVI or VGA with separate adapters or cables, but is incompatible with DisplayPort inputs on displays.
