Performance Notes
- The 87W PD pass-through supports demanding laptops such as the MacBook Pro 16-inch and Dell XPS 15; actual charging speed depends on the connected charger and host device.
- SD and TF card slots can operate simultaneously, allowing transfers between different card formats at the same time.
- HDMI output at 4K @ 30Hz requires host device support for DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C.
- The Gigabit Ethernet port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation for backward compatibility with older network infrastructure.
- All three USB 3.0 ports function concurrently, though total bandwidth is shared across the upstream USB-C connection.
Use Cases & Applications
Photography & Videography
Import RAW files from camera SD cards and drone footage from TF cards simultaneously while previewing edits on a 4K external monitor via HDMI. The three USB 3.0 ports support backup drives for on-location archiving. Meanwhile, the Gigabit Ethernet connection enables fast uploads to cloud storage or client delivery platforms. This USB-C docking station consolidates the entire capture-to-delivery workflow into one hub.
Business & Enterprise Workstations
Transform a single-port ultrabook into a complete desktop setup. Connect an external display via HDMI, plug into the corporate network through Gigabit Ethernet, and attach a keyboard, mouse, and external storage through USB 3.0. The 87W PD pass-through keeps even high-performance laptops charged throughout the workday without a separate power cable.
IT & Network Administration
Network professionals benefit from reliable wired Ethernet for diagnostics, switch configuration, and firmware updates. The HDMI output supports a dedicated monitoring display, while USB 3.0 ports handle bootable drives, hardware security keys, and configuration tools. Additionally, the SD/TF readers are useful for updating firmware on embedded devices and IoT hardware.
Remote & Hybrid Work
Unreliable home Wi-Fi disrupts video calls and VPN connections. The Gigabit Ethernet port delivers consistent bandwidth, while the HDMI output enables a productive dual-monitor setup. The 87W charging pass-through means your laptop stays powered through long remote work sessions without disconnecting peripherals.
Content Creation & Streaming
YouTubers, podcasters, and live streamers can connect a capture card or webcam through USB 3.0, preview output on an HDMI monitor, import media from SD/TF cards, and maintain a wired internet connection for stable streaming. For instance, the 87W PD ensures that power-hungry creative software does not drain your battery mid-session.
Travel & Field Work
The lightweight metal build and short 0.15-meter cable make this USB-C docking station easy to pack. Frequent travelers gain eight ports without carrying separate Ethernet adapters, card readers, and USB hubs—a practical all-in-one solution for client offices, hotel conference rooms, and on-location shoots.
Compatibility
The Vention USB-C docking station works with most devices that support DisplayPort Alt Mode, USB-C data, and 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. The Gigabit Ethernet port and SD/TF card readers are natively supported on Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and most Linux distributions. However, some budget USB-C laptops may not support video output or full 87W PD pass-through. Always verify that your device supports DP Alt Mode and sufficient PD input before purchasing for display and high-wattage charging use.
