Newer tablets, laptops, Chromebook and MacBook notebooks, desktop computers and even smartphones often have USB Type-C ports, but come equipped with few others. This Tripp Lite docking station expands the functionality of the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your device and makes it compatible with your existing equipment.
Typical Applications
Because just one USB-C connection provides three 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. If you keep the docking station on your desk, you will have only one cable to unplug when you take your laptop on the road.
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.
A USB-A port provides a place to connect a USB peripheral, like a flash drive or a USB mouse. Or, you can connect a printer with a USB cable when a wireless connection isn’t feasible. The docking station supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps. It is backward compatible with previous USB generations.
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). The port also supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps.
