We know how important it is to have a reliable and versatile docking station for your USB-C system. The Plugable USB-C Docking Station with Power Delivery (UD-CA1A) is designed to enhance your productivity by expanding your connectivity options. Whether you’re using a Dell XPS 13, XPS 15, or other compatible systems, this docking station is here to make your life easier.
Imagine being able to connect an external HDMI display while simultaneously charging your laptop. With the Plugable USB-C Docking Station, you can do just that. It delivers up to 60W of power, so you can keep your system charged and ready to go. Plus, with five USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and audio input/output, you can connect all your peripherals with ease. All of this is possible through a single USB-C cable.
The Plugable USB-C Docking Station leverages the latest USB 3.1 technology, including support for “Alternate Modes” and Power Delivery. Alternate Modes allow non-USB data, like native video, to be transmitted over a USB-C cable. Power Delivery enables you to charge your system without needing the laptop’s proprietary charger. However, please note that your system must support these features for the docking station to function correctly.
Not all USB-C ports are the same. USB-C is a versatile standard, but compatibility can be complex. Some systems support Alt Mode video output, while others do not. Similarly, some can be powered and charged via USB-C Power Delivery, while others cannot. We recommend checking your user manual or contacting your system manufacturer to confirm that your USB-C port supports video data and charging.
The Plugable USB-C Docking Station offers both horizontal and vertical orientation options, giving you the flexibility to set up your workspace however you prefer. Whether you need to add an extra monitor, connect multiple USB devices, or ensure a stable internet connection with Gigabit Ethernet, this docking station has you covered.
