Whether you use Windows or macOS, this displaylink docking station solution enables a seamless dual monitor setup, making it a great choice for MacBook Air, Mac Mini, and iMac users who need a dependable dual-monitor docking station. DisplayLink driver installation is required for full functionality. On Windows systems, the driver installs automatically through Windows Update if driver updates are enabled. If your computer is managed by your organization, check with your system administrator, as corporate policies may restrict automatic installation or require administrator approval.

The dock does not include its own power supply but is designed to work with your existing USB-C laptop charger. It accepts up to 100W of input power, providing up to 82W to the connected laptop while reserving 18W for dock operation.

The USBC-6950PDZ is compatible with Windows 10 and later, macOS 11 and later, and laptops equipped with USB-C, USB4, or Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports. It fully supports Apple Silicon MacBooks once the DisplayLink driver is installed. This dock does not support playback of HDCP-protected content, so streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ may be blocked or fail to display on external monitors. Compact yet durable, the USBC-6950PDZ is built for hybrid work, travel, and mobile productivity.
