Don’t let the size fool you, while the Plugable USB-C Dual HDMI Docking Station (USBC-6950PDZ) may look like a compact USB-C travel hub, it delivers the full functionality of a desktop docking station. With dual HDMI ports, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-A and USB-C ports, SD card slot, and support for 82W pass-through charging, this small form factor dock is built to extend your laptop’s capabilities whether you're at home, at the office, or on the go. One of the standout features is its ability to support two 4K 60Hz extended HDMI displays, even on laptops that don’t support native dual video output. That’s thanks to DisplayLink technology, which offloads video processing to the dock itself. Whether you’re using a Windows machine or an Apple Silicon MacBook (M1, M2, M3), this docking station enables a seamless dual display setup. DisplayLink Driver Required: Windows users will receive the driver automatically via Windows Update. For macOS users, the DisplayLink Manager application must be downloaded and installed manually (admin rights required). Power Delivery Simplified: This 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 input, delivering up to 82W to your host system while reserving 18W for dock operation. Your laptop must support USB-C Power Delivery (PD) for charging to work properly. Charging performance may be slightly reduced when compared to direct power connection. Compatibility: The USBC-6950PDZ is compatible with Windows 10+, macOS 11+, and laptops equipped with USB-C, USB4, or Thunderbolt 3/4 ports. Full support is available for Apple Silicon MacBooks with DisplayLink driver installation. HDCP Content Limitation: This docking station does not support playback of HDCP-encrypted content. Streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and others may be blocked or fail to display through external monitors connected via the dock. Lightweight yet durable, the USBC-6950PDZ is ideal for hybrid work setups, mobile professionals, and anyone looking to expand screen space and peripheral access – all without sacrificing portability or power efficiency. Upgrade your workflow with a hub that truly docks – wherever work takes you.
