Plugable USB-C 4K Triple Display Docking Station with Charging Support for Specific Windows USB Type-C/Thunderbolt 3 Systems (1x HDMI & 2X DisplayPort++ Outputs, 60W USB PD).

The Plugable UD-ULTCDL USB-C Docking Station provides up to three additional display outputs via a combination of USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode (“Alt Mode”) and DisplayLink USB graphics. Up to 60W via USB-C Power Delivery (“PD”) to charge your host computer, Gigabit Ethernet, audio, and expanded USB device connectivity. Right through a single USB-C cable.

See important notes regarding Alt Mode and PD compatibility below.

Graphics Performance

Main HDMI port utilizes USB-C Alt Mode – an instantaneous “pipeline” to the host graphics processor (GPU). Connected monitor will perform as if natively attached. The 2nd-3rd outputs are powered by DisplayLink DL-6950 which leverages the host GPU+CPU; these outputs aren’t advisable for gaming.

Alt Mode and PD Compatibility

The included power supply can charge compatible host systems with up to 60 watts of PD power. Charging speed is host dependent but behaves as if laptop/tablet were connected to it’s stock charger.

DisplayLink Graphics Compatibility

Windows drivers will also be installed by Windows Update (with existing Internet connection) or downloaded manually from plugable.com.

DisplayLink graphics require Intel / AMD / NVIDIA GPU and driver. USB graphics require dual-core 2GHz+ CPU.

Cannot be mixed with non-DisplayLink USB graphics adapters and drivers (e.g. MCT, j5, or SMSC). HDCP/Blu-ray playback not supported.

Incompatible Systems

Most current phones & tablets with USB-C ports do not toughen Alt Mode video output. ASMedia USB 3.1 controllers do not toughen Alt Mode right now.
