User Manual
FAQ
What display configurations does this docking station support?
The DK30C2DAGPD supports dual 4K displays at 30Hz refresh rate simultaneously, or a single 4K display at 60Hz. For users prioritizing data transfer speeds over maximum resolution, the mode switch allows operation at dual 1080p resolution with full USB 3.0 transfer rates.
How does the Power Delivery passthrough charging work?
The docking station features 100W Power Delivery 3.0 passthrough capability. When connected to an external USB-C power adapter, the dock reserves 15W for its own operation and passes the remaining power to charge your connected laptop. This allows simultaneous docking functionality and battery charging through a single connection.
Which operating systems are compatible with this USB-C dock?
This docking station is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11, and ChromeOS. Automatic driver setup simplifies installation on Windows systems, while ChromeOS devices typically recognize the dock without additional software.
Can I use this dock with Apple MacBook computers?
MacBook compatibility is limited to single monitor output due to macOS display protocol differences. While the dock will function with MacBooks for USB connectivity, Ethernet, and power delivery, only one DisplayPort output will be active. For dual monitor support with Mac systems, consider DisplayLink-enabled docking solutions.
What is the purpose of the physical mode switch on the dock?
The mode switch lets you choose between two operation profiles: Position 1 prioritizes display resolution, enabling dual 4K output at 30Hz with USB 2.0 transfer speeds. Position 2 prioritizes data transfer, providing dual 1080p output with full USB 3.0 speeds for faster file transfers and peripheral performance.
What comes included in the package with this docking station?
The package includes the Dual-Monitor USB-C Multiport Adapter (model DK30C2DAGPD), one 1-meter (3.3-foot) USB Type-C host cable for connecting to your laptop, and a quick-start guide. No external power adapter is included, as the dock can operate in bus-powered mode or work with your existing USB-C power adapter.
