The U442-DOCK2-S expands the potential of your tablet, laptop, Chromebook, MacBook, smartphone or PC's USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. It's ideal for transmitting digital audio and video to a large display, adding a thumb drive or other USB peripheral, powering and charging a PD Charging-compliant mobile device, connecting to a Gigabit Ethernet network and a lot more - all at the same time.
With a source device that also supports USB DisplayPort Alt Mode, you can extend video from your primary display to another, duplicate the same video on both displays, or change the second display to your primary.
To send digital audio and Ultra High Definition video to a 4K-ready HDMI or Mini DisplayPort television, projector or monitor, connect the corresponding port to the display using an HDMI or mDP cable (sold separately). The Mini DisplayPort and HDMI ports support UHD video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (4K x 2K) @ 30 Hz. The VGA port supports high-definition resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, including 1080p, at 60 Hz. Only one display can be connected at a time. A DisplayPort or DVI display may also be connected using an mDP to DP or HDMI to DVI adapter (adapters sold separately).
The USB-A hub ports accept up to three USB peripherals, such as flash drives, mice, keyboards and printers. They support fast USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. A BC 1.2-compliant port provides up to 1.5A of fast-charging power to mobile devices.
The USB-C Power Delivery (PD) port provides power and charging to the PD Charging-compliant device (such as a MacBook, Chromebook or Android smartphone) the U442-DOCK2-S is connected to. Connect the device's AC wall charger to the USB-C PD port, which supports power input up to 60W - 45W for the USB-C device and 15W dedicated to the U442-DOCK2-S and its USB-A hub ports.
The RJ45 port offers access to a Gigabit Ethernet network when no Wi-Fi is available or when a wired connection offers faster speeds. Connect using a UTP cable (sold separately), and enjoy true 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds for fast data transfers.
The USB-C hub's 3.5 mm mini stereo jack is convenient for connecting speakers, headphones or a microphone to your workstation. You can listen to music or record the latest episode of your podcast.
The memory card slots support Micro SD and SD/MMC cards for transferring data to and from your connected computer, laptop or tablet.
Connect the reversible USB-C plug to your source device's USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. The fumble-free USB-C plug connects in either direction to ensure fast, easy connection every time.
The plug-and-play USB-C dock requires no software, drivers or external power. The compact unit fits easily into a pocket, briefcase or laptop bag for connecting on the go.
The U442-DOCK2-S comes with a 3-year warranty. It's manufactured in compliance with strict RoHS specifications, reflecting Tripp Lite's commitment to environmental responsibility.

Tripp Lite USB C Docking Station w/ USB Hub mDP HDMI VGA GbE PD Charging 4K is rated4.00 out of5 by2.
Rated 5 out of 5 byRichard from Initial unit failed, support was fantastic and sent new unitI received this as a gift. Followed instructions to the letter and connected all the cables (USB mouse, USB Printer, USB Hard drive, RJ45 Ethernet) before powering on. Connected the supplied 1' M/M Type C Cable to location 3 (USB-C Host Port) and then to my HP Envy laptop. Nothing happened. No tones were heard and device manager did not update showing new ports, etc. I only had the 1' M/M Type C Cable from the manufacturer. Called Tripp-Lite Support. They troubleshooted for about 20 minutes and said they would ship a new unit. While waiting for it to arrive, I purchased a 3' long M/M Type C cable from a 3rd party and tried again. Still did not work. After new unit arrived, followed the instructions again, and using my new 3' cable, connected it to my HP Envy laptop, immediately heard tones and device manager now shows all the ports. All my attached peripherals are so far working fine. Unfortunate the first unit was defective, but very pleased with the service and getting a new unit at no charge.
