A: The j5 Docking Station DOES require a power source. But you can get it to work. J5 sells 2 versions with almost identical model number. The one with P at the end includes a power cord. This is not the model sold by Best Buy. Was very frustrating for me as well. I couldn't figure out problem with documentation included. Finally realized the problem when a fully charged MacBook Pro 2 plugged into docking station started running out of juice. Once I took the USB-C power cord for MBP2 and plugged it into back of j5 docking station it worked perfectly. Plug the power cord for laptop into j5 docking station (far left USB-C port on the back) and then use the j5 USB-C connector cable (the one under flap on front side) to connect docking to laptop. Besides working as docking station will also allow power to pass through and charge laptop. Hope this helps. Wish j5 made this a little more clear with the product because it works very well at what it does, once it has power. Go figure.
