Dual 4K Display Support for Maximum Productivity
The UD-6950H drives two 4K monitors at 60Hz refresh when connected via DisplayPort, giving you crisp, high-resolution workspace for multitasking, coding, or design work. HDMI connections also support 4K but are limited to 30Hz. Both monitors must support the target resolution, and certified cables are required for stable 4K@60Hz performance.
Expand Your Connectivity with One Cable
With six USB 3.0 ports, gigabit Ethernet, and dual audio jacks, this dock centralises all your peripherals. The USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface delivers up to 5Gbps data transfer, enough for external SSDs, webcams, and input devices. The front-facing ports make it easy to plug in headphones or charge a phone without reaching around the dock.
Smart Horizontal Design Saves Desk Space
The low-profile, horizontal form factor lets you slide the UD-6950H under a monitor stand, freeing up valuable desk real estate. The integrated power switch controls dock power without affecting your laptop, and LED indicators show connection status at a glance.
Performance Limitations to Note
This dock uses DisplayLink technology, which shares USB 3.0 bandwidth between video and data. It is not suited for full-screen video playback, 3D gaming, or video editing due to reduced graphics acceleration. The dock does not charge your laptop—use your existing charger for power.
