Transform Your Laptop’s USB-C Port into a Multiport Workstation Wherever You Go

Newer tablets, laptops, Chromebook™ and MacBook® notebooks, desktop computers and even smartphones often have USB Type-C™ ports, but come equipped with few others.

Using a single USB-C™ or Thunderbolt™ 3 port, this Tripp Lite docking station expands the functionality of your computer and makes it compatible with your existing equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Send video to a VGA monitor.
  • Add a USB-A peripheral to your device.
  • Power and charge your laptop.
  • Connect to a Gigabit Ethernet network when Wi-Fi isn’t available.
  • Convert your MacBook or Chromebook into a powerful and portable workstation.

Simplify Travel with a Bus-Powered, All-In-One USB-C Docking Station

Because just one USB-C connection provides four different ports, you don’t need multiple adapters while on the go. This docking station is also bus-powered, so you don’t have to travel with the weight of a separate external power supply.

  • With a footprint similar in size to a credit card, this portable docking station fits almost anywhere.
  • Lightweight, streamlined design doesn’t add weight to your load.
  • Built-in cable eliminates the chance of losing or forgetting the USB-C cord.
  • Plug-and-play operation means you don’t need software or drivers.

Display High-Definition Video on a VGA Monitor

This docking station supports USB DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) for carrying high-definition video to a VGA monitor or projector. It supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz, including 1080p.

  • Show the same video on your laptop and a second monitor.
  • Use a second monitor as your primary screen.
  • Extend video to a second monitor.
  • Share video in a conference room, classroom or auditorium setting.

Connect a USB Peripheral

The USB-A port provides a place to connect a USB device, like a flash drive, camera, keyboard, mouse or an external hard drive. Or, you can connect a printer with a USB cable when a wireless connection isn’t feasible. The USB-A port supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and provides up to 1.5A for device charging. It’s also backward compatible with previous USB generations.

Keep Ports Available While Your Laptop Charges

Limited USB-C ports can force you to choose between connecting a peripheral and charging your laptop’s battery. The USB-C Power Delivery (PD) port powers and charges your laptop without affecting the other connections. Your laptop’s wall charger connects to the USB-C PD port, which supports power input up to 20V, 3A (60W).
