Build & Dimensions
- Material: Gray metal (aluminum alloy) shell
- Cable Length: 0.15 m (approximately 6 inches) – reduces desk clutter and minimizes signal loss
- Weight: Lightweight, portable design (typically under 90 g)
- Connector: USB-C male to multi-port female
Performance Notes
- All three USB 3.0 ports can operate simultaneously, though total bandwidth is shared across the hub’s upstream USB-C connection.
- For optimal 4K HDMI output, the host device must support DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C.
- PD charging wattage depends on the host device and the connected charger; the hub passes through power without conversion.
Use Cases & Applications
Business & Office
Connect a keyboard, mouse, and external storage through the three USB 3.0 ports while presenting on an HDMI display. The PD pass-through ensures your laptop stays charged throughout the workday. This USB-C docking station turns a single-port ultrabook into a capable desktop workstation.
Remote & Hybrid Work
Set up a productive home office with a secondary monitor via HDMI and multiple peripherals through USB 3.0. The compact 0.15-meter cable keeps your workspace organized and free from tangled adapters.
Education & Training
Teachers can connect to classroom displays while simultaneously using a USB flash drive for lesson materials and a wireless presenter dongle. The plug-and-play design eliminates the need for IT support during setup.
Creative & Media Production
Videographers and designers can preview edits on an external 4K monitor while transferring files across multiple USB 3.0 drives. The metal housing manages heat during sustained file transfers, maintaining reliable performance on location.
Travel & Mobile Productivity
The short cable and lightweight metal build fit easily into laptop bags and carry-on luggage. For instance, frequent travelers can present in client offices and hotel conference rooms without searching for venue-specific adapters.
Compatibility
The Vention USB-C docking station works with most devices that support DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery. Compatible devices include MacBook Pro and Air (2018 and later), Dell XPS series, HP Spectre and EliteBook lines, Lenovo ThinkPad models, Samsung Galaxy Tab S series, and iPad Pro with USB-C. However, some budget laptops with USB-C may only support data and charging—not video output. Always verify that your device supports DP Alt Mode before purchasing for HDMI display use.
