QuestionCan I get an extension cable for the J5create USB-C connection? I need to get the dock station further away from my computer.
Asked 3 years ago by Champ.
- Answer We do not recommend using an extension cable with the USB-C Dual HDMI Mini Dock. We cannot guarantee proper functionality. This Mini Dock requires an installation of a driver and works best when it's connected directly to a computer.

QuestionI see there's a way to charge this while utilizing this. Can anyone tell me how to charge my laptop while using the 2 Screens?
Asked 5 years ago by Charging.
- Answer The JCD381 does not require a separate power source to use as it is bus-powered (powered when connected to the computer). The 'Power In' port you see on it is to charge your computer through there; this is only possible IF the computer supports charging via USB-C.

QuestionDoes this docking station need power to work? It didn't come with a power cable.
Asked 5 years ago by Ryan.
- Answer Yes and NO. The J5Create provides a port to connect your computer power source chord allowing the docking station the ability to continually power your lap top. Plug in power source I use is from the Lenovo lap top which then connects to the J5Create docking station. So the docking station is also continuously powering the Lenovo lap top.

QuestionWill this work with my ThinkPad - Intel Core i5 vPro 8th Gen? Trying to work from home and need 2 different screens.
Asked 5 years ago by Sheila.
- Answer Yes, this J5Create should work with your ThinkPad. As long as your Thinkpad has a USB-C port it should work. I too work from home and have dual monitors connected to my Lenovo laptop via this docking station. It works like a jewel. I keep MS Outlook up all the time on one monitor and use the second for other work requirements.

QuestionDoes this work with a chromebook?
Asked 5 years ago by Logan.
- Answer The Ethernet, USB, and pass through charging will work PnP if applicable depending on your Chromebook's specs. The HDMI ports require a driver and we are not compatible with Chrome OS. We do have PnP devices that do not require drivers and if eligible, we can recommend them to you. If interested, feel free to contact support on the packaging and a representative will be able to look up the specs for your computer and find something for you that will work.

QuestionI need to purchase usb-c extension cord to go between the dock and my computer. It needs to retain the charging capability. What type of usb-c extension cord is appropriate? (e.g. what specs do I need to look for?)
Asked 2 years ago by L.
- Answer Choose a USB-C extension cable that complies with the USB-C specifications (USB 3.1 Gen 2 or later) to support data transfer, video output, and power delivery. Keep the extension cable length within reasonable limits. Excessively long cables can introduce signal degradation, affecting video output and data transfer.
