Tripp-Lite U442-DOCK4-S USB C Docking Station

This USB-C dock with PD Charging expands the potential of your Windows laptop, Chromebook, smartphone or PC’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. It’s ideal for transmitting digital audio and video to a large display, adding a thumb drive or other USB peripheral, powering and charging a PD Charging-compliant mobile device, connecting to a Gigabit Ethernet network and a lot more—all at the same time.

 

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.

 

The HDMI and DisplayPort (DP) outputs support Ultra HD video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (4K x 2K) at 30 Hz. The VGA port supports HD resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, including 1080p, at 60 Hz. A Mini DisplayPort or DVI display may also be connected using a DP to mDP or HDMI to DVI adapter (sold separately).

 

By connecting the detachable USB-C cable to a source that supports DisplayPort MST Mode, you may connect two displays simultaneously. This allows you to display the same image on both monitors, extend your host desktop across both with different windows open on each, or combine both into one large display as a video wall. Connect dual monitors in Extended (4K @ 30 Hz DP with 1080p HDMI or 720p VGA) and Mirror (1080p DP with 1080p HDMI or 1080p VGA) modes. HDMI and VGA video ports will not work simultaneously.

 

One USB-C and four USB-A hub ports accept USB peripherals, such as flash drives, mice, keyboards and printers. They support fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps (10 times faster than USB 2.0) and are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. Two ports also support BC 1.2 charging with 5V 1.5A (7.5W) of power dedicated to fast-charging your mobile device. Note: Host must support USB OTG (On-the-Go).

 

The USB-C port supports Power Delivery (PD) 2.0 charging of connected PD Charging-compliant devices, such as laptops, Kindles, iPads and Android smartphones. Connect the device’s AC wall charger to the USB-C PD port, which supports power input up to 20V 5A (100W). This port, as mentioned above, can also be used for transferring data up to 5 Gbps. Note: USB-C PD port does not support Quick Charge (QC).

 

The RJ45 port offers access to a Gigabit Ethernet network when no Wi-Fi is available 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.

 

The USB-C hub’s 3.5 mm mini stereo jacks are convenient for connecting speakers, headphones or a microphone to your workstation. You can listen to music or record the latest episode of your podcast.

 

Unlike traditional USB cables that connect in only one direction, the reversible USB-C male connector plugs into a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port in either direction for an instant connection every time.

 

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. It’s slightly larger than an average smartphone, but compact enough to fit easily into your desk space without taking up much valuable room.
