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 adds multiple connection options to your device.

Typical Applications

  • Send video to HDMI monitors.
  • Send video to a VGA monitor.
  • Add a USB-A peripheral.
  • Power and charge your laptop.
  • Convert your MacBook or Chromebook into a powerful and portable workstation.

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

One USB-C connection provides multiple ports, so you don’t need multiple adapters. This docking station is also bus-powered, so you don’t have to travel with 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.

  • With a footprint similar in size to popular smartphones, 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 HD Video on an HDMI or VGA Monitor

This docking station supports USB DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) for transmitting video to a monitor, television or projector. The HDMI and VGA ports support video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, including 1080p, at 60 Hz. All three ports can be used at the same time with the same image shown on all three displays (mirroring the source display or extending it).

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

Connect a USB Peripheral

The USB-A port allows you to connect a USB device, like a flash drive, camera, keyboard, mouse or external hard drive. You can also connect a printer with a USB cable when a wireless connection isn’t feasible. The port supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and is 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).
