One dock, twelve ports

The Adafruit 12 in 1 USB-C Docking Station adds 12 connections to a single Type-C notebook port. It supplies two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port, one VGA output, one RJ45 jack, one 3.5 mm audio socket, one small memory card slot, one full-size memory card slot and a Power Delivery input. The hub is built for users who need legacy video, wired networking and multiple peripherals at once.

Plug in and connect

Installation is a single cable from the dock to the notebook's Type-C port; no driver disc is mentioned. The VGA output works with older monitors but does not carry audio, so the 3.5 mm jack must be used separately. PD charging passes up to 87 W through the dock, yet the notebook must support Power Delivery on that port or the laptop will not charge.

Check your notebook first

Verify the laptop's Type-C port supports video alt mode and Power Delivery, otherwise VGA and charging will not function. The dock draws power from the host for its own operation, so very low-power ports may limit the number of bus-powered drives you can attach. Buyers who need HDMI, DisplayPort or multiple high-speed USB 3.0 links should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 12-in-1 dock is working correctly after plugging it into my USB-C laptop?

Connect a monitor to the VGA port, attach a wired network cable to the RJ45 jack, plug a USB 3.0 drive into a USB 3.0 port, insert a memory card into a card slot, and confirm the laptop charges via the PD port up to 87 W.

What does the package include and which cables or adapters must I purchase separately?

The dock itself provides two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port, VGA output, RJ45 Ethernet, 3.5 mm audio, two card slots, a USB-C upstream port and PD charging; any video cables, network cables, USB peripherals or power adapters are not included.

Which version should I choose if I need the highest power delivery for my notebook?

This single model supports PD fast charging up to 87 W, so it is the version to select when maximum charging power from the USB-C connection is required.
