USB-C Triple Monitor Dock for MacBook M1-M4 & Windows, 4K HDMI DP, 100W Charging - TAA

This USB-C docking station is designed to expand the connectivity of laptops with a single USB-C port, particularly those like MacBook models with M1 to M4 chips and Windows or Chrome OS devices. It allows users to connect up to three external displays, including two DisplayPort and one HDMI output, making it ideal for professionals who need a multi-monitor setup for tasks like video editing or graphic design. The dock also includes 100W Power Delivery for charging laptops, which is especially useful for power-hungry devices like the MacBook Pro. Additional ports include four USB-A and one USB-C 5Gbps hub, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and separate audio ports for microphone and speakers.

The docking station supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Ubuntu, and ChromeOS, ensuring compatibility across different platforms. It is compliant with USB-IF, VESA, and DisplayLink standards, which helps ensure stable performance and universal use. However, users should note that not all USB-C ports support the full functionality of the standard. For optimal performance, the host laptop’s USB-C port must support USB Power Delivery 2.0 and DisplayPort Alt Mode. This makes the dock suitable for most modern laptops but may not work with older models that lack these features.

The dock includes a K-Slot for secure mounting and comes with a 1-meter USB-C cable. It also provides IT professionals with tools like Network MAC Address Pass-Through for security and USB Event Monitoring for better system management. The DisplayLink Update Utility is included to ensure drivers are up to date for macOS and Windows systems. Users should be aware that while the dock supports three displays on MacBooks, driver installation is required on both macOS and Windows. Additionally, when using a USB-A laptop, a separate adapter is needed, though Power Delivery charging won’t be available in that case.

The dock can support resolutions up to 4K on each display or connect two DisplayPort outputs to a single 5K display at 60Hz. This makes it suitable for high-resolution tasks such as photo or video editing. The included 150W power adapter ensures that both the dock and connected peripherals receive sufficient power. The design is compact and includes multiple ports for peripherals like keyboards, mice, and external storage devices.
