The docking station supports up to 60W pass-through charging. This means it can deliver up to 45W of power to your connected laptop (60W input minus 15W for the dock's operation). This is sufficient to charge a 13-inch MacBook Pro at full speed while using other dock functions.

Nyefee data

Utilize the USB-C data port and three USB-A data ports for connecting various peripherals and transferring files at speeds up to 5 Gbps. The SD and microSD card slots provide seamless access to photos and other media files from your memory cards.

Dual Media Display

Connect up to two external monitors simultaneously using the HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. Both ports support stunning 4K resolution at 30Hz. Ensure your host device supports DisplayPort 1.4 for optimal dual display performance.

Note on Operating Systems:

• Windows: Supports both Single-Stream Transport (SST) and Multi-Stream Transport (MST) modes, allowing for mirrored or extended desktop displays across multiple monitors.
• macOS and iPadOS: Only support Single-Stream Transport (SST) mode. This means that while you can connect two external monitors, they will display the same content (mirror mode) or extend the desktop as a single, larger display, not as two independent extended displays.

Gigabit Ethernet

For a reliable and fast internet connection, plug an Ethernet cable into the Gigabit Ethernet port. This provides a stable wired connection up to 1 Gbps, ideal for streaming, gaming, and large file na-enyefe.
