With its diminutive size and support for 85W of laptop charging (Power Delivery), the Plugable USB-C Mini Docking Station (UD-CAM) remains one of Plugable’s smallest yet powerful USB-C docks available.
Plugable is an industry leader in Docking Station products, and this smaller form-factor dock should not be underestimated. Utilizing innovations introduced with USB 3.1, this dock is one of the first to use “Alternate Mode” from the USB-C specifications for one of the display outputs.
This dock supports USB Power Delivery, enabling the dock to charge a laptop, 2-in-1, or Windows tablet connected to it (up to 85W).
Note: Please read the information below for details regarding display output types and system requirements for the best compatibility, even with newer systems. USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 system with support for USB Alt Mode video output and/or PD charging is required for this docking station; not all systems or USB-C ports support these features. The dock will not work properly if adapted to USB 3.0 to connect to the computer or tablet.When attached to a fully compatible USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 system, the UD-CAM supports Windows 11, 10, 8.x, and 7, macOS, and Chrome OS.

Hardware Compatibility Notes
USB-C is a new standard with much versatility. As a result, compatibility information is complex. Some USB-C systems support Alt Mode video output, while others do not. Some can be powered and charged through USB PD, while others do not. It is very important to check the compatibility of your device before purchase.
Please see the Compatibility tab that contains detailed compatibility notes for a variety of laptops and tablets that are updated regularly.
