Compact 8-in-1 USB4 Dock
This 8-in-1 USB4 docking station adds dual DisplayPort video, USB-A, USB-C, and Gigabit Ethernet through a single USB-C cable. It targets mobile professionals who need a lightweight, bus-powered hub to expand a laptop into a dual-monitor workstation while traveling or hot-desking.
Single-cable host connection
The dock draws power from the host USB-C port and passes through up to 100W USB-C Power Delivery to charge the laptop. Two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs support MST for two 4K@60Hz extended displays on Windows; macOS allows only one extended display or two mirrored. Thunderbolt 3 or standard USB-C hosts are limited to one 4K@30Hz or two 1080p@60Hz screens.
Sustained 40Gbps throughput
Rated 40Gbps USB4 bandwidth maintains dual 4K@60Hz video and 1000Mbps Ethernet simultaneously without throttling. An attached 100W PD charger keeps the laptop and high-draw peripherals powered during long sessions. The aluminium chassis dissipates heat quietly in a 3.9 x 2.7 x 0.6 in footprint.

Questions about this item
How many 4K 60Hz displays can a Windows laptop drive through the two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs?
Windows supports up to two extended 4K 60Hz displays via DisplayPort MST, provided the host uses USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 and certified cables are used.
What is the thermal and acoustic behaviour when the dock runs continuously at 40Gbps with dual video and 100W pass-through?
The aluminium enclosure dissipates heat passively with no fan, so it runs silently; surface temperature rises under full load but stays within USB-IF limits for bus-powered devices.
Which host port and cable standard are required to reach the advertised 40Gbps bandwidth and dual 4K 60Hz video?
A USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 host port and a certified 40Gbps USB4 cable are needed; Thunderbolt 3 or plain USB-C hosts are limited to 10Gbps and lower video modes.
