FAQ
What devices are compatible with this Adesso docking station?
The Adesso AUH-4010 docking station is compatible with a broad range of devices. It supports notebooks including MacBook Pro, MacBook, iMac, Surface Book 2, Google Pixel, HP Envy 13, Samsung Galaxy Book, and Chromebooks. It also works with monitors, projectors, smartphones, tablets, and TVs that accept HDMI input. The host connection is a USB Type-C port, so your laptop or device needs a USB-C port that supports video and data.
What video resolution and refresh rate does the HDMI port support?
The HDMI port on this docking station supports a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160, which is 4K Ultra HD. The supported screen mode is 4K at a 30Hz refresh rate. This is suitable for presentations, general computing, and video playback on 4K displays, though it may not be ideal for high-frame-rate gaming or professional video editing that requires 60Hz or higher refresh rates.
How many USB ports does the docking station have and what types are they?
The docking station has a total of two USB ports. One is a USB 3.0 Type-A port, which provides high-speed data transfer for peripherals like external storage, mice, or keyboards. The other is a USB Type-C port, which can be used for charging compatible devices like smartphones or tablets, or for connecting another USB-C peripheral. The host connection to your computer is also a USB Type-C port, but that is separate from these two expansion ports.
What does TAA compliant mean and why is it important?
TAA compliant means the product complies with the Trade Agreements Act, which governs U.S. federal government procurement. Products that are TAA compliant are manufactured or substantially transformed in designated countries, making them eligible for purchase by U.S. government agencies, contractors, and often educational institutions that follow similar guidelines. This compliance expands the product's suitability for public-sector and institutional deployments.
Which operating systems are supported by this docking station?
The docking station supports Windows operating systems from Windows 2000 through Windows 10, including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. This wide range ensures compatibility with both legacy and modern Windows-based computers. For Mac or Chrome OS devices, compatibility depends on the specific device's USB-C implementation and driver support, though many modern Apple and Google devices are listed as compatible.
What is included in the package with the docking station?
The package includes the Adesso 3-IN-1 USB-C Multi-Port Docking Station (TAA Compliant) itself and a quick start guide. The quick start guide provides basic instructions for connecting and using the docking station with your devices. No additional cables, such as a USB-C cable for host connection or an HDMI cable, are included, so you will need to provide those separately based on your setup requirements.
