Specification Overview

Dual 4K Display Flexibility

This dock supports sharp 4K video across two monitors. It offers one HDMI 2.0 port and two DisplayPort 1.2 ports. You can connect two displays simultaneously for a productive multi-screen workflow. However, the HDMI port quantity is one; confirm your monitor inputs match these outputs.

High-Speed Peripheral Connectivity

You get four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports for legacy accessories. The single USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port supports faster data transfer. This mix lets you connect mice, keyboards, and external drives without extra hubs. Also, verify if an Ethernet port is required, as it is not listed in the core specs.

Universal OS and Laptop Support

The dock is compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, and Android. This broad support suits mixed-IT environments and BYOD policies. It works with various USB-C laptops, but confirm your laptop’s USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and power delivery. In practice, this ensures full video and charging functionality.

Compact Design with VESA Mount Option

The unit measures 179 mm wide, 83 mm deep, and 32 mm high. It weighs only 350 g, saving desk space. A VESA bracket provision allows mounting behind a monitor using the optional Targus VESA Mount Bracket (ACX003GLZ). This is ideal for clean, minimalist UK workstations.

Power Delivery and Legacy Host Support

The dock provides USB Power Delivery 3.0 at 100W for compatible USB-C laptops. For older devices, an optional legacy power accessory kit is available. This kit (ACC1134GLX) supports select Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo, and Toshiba laptops up to 90W. Confirm your laptop’s power requirements before purchasing the accessory.
