Transform Your USB-C Port into a Full Workstation
We’ve designed the Tripp Lite USB C Dock to turn your USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port into a powerful workstation. Whether you’re using a Windows laptop, MacBook, Chromebook, or tablet, this dock expands your device’s capabilities. You can transmit 4K video, connect USB peripherals, charge your devices, and even add extra storage with a 2.5-inch SATA drive—all at the same time.
Crystal-Clear 4K Video and Audio
With USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode, this dock lets you output 4K video and digital audio to an HDMI monitor, TV, or projector. No special drivers are needed! It supports Ultra HD resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz, with 36-bit Deep Color and 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, or using your HDTV as a PC monitor, the visuals will be stunning.
Fast and Versatile USB Connectivity
Our dock features two USB-A ports and one USB-C port, all supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbps. You can connect flash drives, mice, keyboards, printers, and more. The USB-A ports also provide 5V 1.5A (7.5W) power for charging your smartphone or other devices. Plus, the USB-C PD port delivers up to 100W of power to charge your host device, like a MacBook or Windows laptop.
Expand Your Storage with SATA III Support
Need more storage? This dock lets you connect a 2.5-inch SATA III SSD or HDD for extra space. Just remove the dock’s cover, insert the drive, and you’re ready to go—no tools required. With UASP support, data transfer speeds can reach up to 6 Gbps, making it 70% faster than traditional USB connections. For maximum compatibility, we recommend formatting your drive in “exFAT.”
Easy to Use and Compact Design
The built-in USB-C cable is reversible, so you can plug it in either direction for a quick and hassle-free connection. When not in use, the 2-foot cable wraps neatly around the dock. Its compact design fits perfectly on your desk, and the included support bracket keeps your phone or tablet stable while charging.
Ready to Use Right Out of the Box
Our plug-and-play USB-C dock is designed for simplicity. Just connect it to your device, and you’re ready to go. It’s compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops with USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports. Plus, it comes with a 3-year limited warranty for peace of mind.
