Plugable's flagship DisplayLink docking station has gotten a big upgrade. The Plugable USB-C Triple 4K Display Docking Station (UD-ULTC4K) was designed from the ground up based on five years of collected user feedback to include improved charging capabilities, more flexible display options, an SD card reader, and a front-facing 10Gbps, 20W USB-C port to fast charge your phone and other devices.
This second-generation dock provides a better customer experience with 3x DisplayPort ports and 3x HDMI ports to match your monitors. And of course, whichever you choose—HDMI or DisplayPort—you’ll get resolutions up to 4K @ 60Hz on all three monitors with USB4 / Thunderbolt 4 hosts via Alt Mode. But monitor ports weren’t the only thing to get a boost. The UD-ULTC4K comes with 100W charging to better accommodate larger laptops. This docking station is a one-stop shop for all peripherals users may need, connecting all 13 ports to the laptop with a powerful 10Gbps USB-C cable.
Note: New and innovative products aren't without compatibility concerns, it is important to read the information below for details regarding display output types and system requirements.
Not all USB-C ports offer DP Alt Mode or PD charging. Having a fully compatible USB-C, USB4, Thunderbolt 3, or Thunderbolt 4 port is required for this docking station, it will not work properly when adapted to USB 3.0. The UD-ULTC4K supports Windows 11, 10, 8.x, and 7, ChromeOS 100+, and macOS 10.14+. Linux, and some older macOS versions are not supported.
4K Your Way
Compatible with Windows, ChromeOS, and Mac, the Plugable USB-C Triple 4K Display Docking Station (UD-ULTC4K) is the computer docking station built for adding monitors.
Featuring 3x DisplayPort ports, and 3x HDMI ports, now you can standardize on one or use a mix of both. And HDMI or DisplayPort will give you resolutions up to 4K @ 60Hz on all three monitors when connected to a compatible host computer with USB4 / Thunderbolt 4 hosts via Alt Mode.
Ports a Plenty
This Displaylink docking station has a front-facing USB-C port for 10Gbps data transfer and 20W charging to accommodate your phone or other devices.
Speaking of peripherals, the UD-ULTC4K also has 4x USB 3.0 ports for 5Gbps data transfer rates, an SD Card Reader, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and separate audio in and audio out ports.
Power Delivered
Power Delivery—charging your laptop through a USB-C port—can get confusing. How much power is enough? How much is too much?
The UD-ULTC4K has you covered. With 100W charging (96W certified), you have enough power to charge just about any laptop—even under a heavy workload. And if your laptop needs less power, the dock communicates with your computer to negotiate the perfect charge level.
To strictly comply with 100W regulatory limits with margin, certification limits to charging to 96W.
