8-in-1 USB-C Docking Station Gray
The Anker A83800A1 adds two HDMI ports, two USB-A ports, Gigabit Ethernet and a microSD card reader through a single USB-C connection. It supports pass-through charging up to 85 W so the laptop stays powered while peripherals are connected. The compact grey enclosure measures 118 mm by 51 mm by 17.5 mm and weighs 0.2 pounds.
Check host port and display needs
Verify the laptop USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery; the hub will not drive video or charge without them. macOS users should note both external monitors show an identical image because Multi-Stream Transport is not supported on Mac. Linux is not supported. A 100 W PD wall charger and USB-C to C cable are required for full 85 W pass-through charging.
Upgrade from single-port dongles
This hub replaces basic adapters that only offer one video output or lack wired networking and card readers. The jump is worth it when you need dual 4K displays at 30 Hz or a single 4K 60 Hz screen plus Ethernet and legacy USB-A devices simultaneously. It does not suit buyers who need MST extended desktop on macOS or Linux compatibility.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and do I need to buy a charger separately?
The box includes the PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB-C PD Media Hub and a welcome guide. A 100W PD wall charger and USB-C to C cable are required for pass-through charging and are not included.
How do I choose between single and dual monitor setups with the two HDMI ports?
One display runs at 4K@60Hz. Two displays run at 4K@30Hz each. On macOS both external monitors show the same image because Multi-Stream Transport is not supported.
What does the 85W Power Delivery figure mean for my laptop in daily use?
The hub passes through up to 85W from a connected 100W PD charger to your laptop. Actual charging speed depends on your laptop's own power requirements and the charger you supply.
