Kensington takes pride in making our comprehensive installation guides easy to follow, with simple illustrations and step-by-step instructions. This guide will walk you through setup and help you get to know your new docking station.
A: Yes, the dock works with computing devices (example: laptops, 2-in-1s, etc.) that have at least one available USB-C port. The USB-C port must support 5V/3A (15W) of power.
A: For USB-C ports that support Power Delivery, yes. Please check the specs of your laptop or contact us and we can help you identify if your USB-C port supports Power Delivery
A: Windows® 10+ / macOS 11+ / iPadOS 13+ / Samsung DeX® (for the best compatibility, please make sure that your host USB-C port supports 5V/3A of power.) For Samsung DeX®, it is recommended to use the dock with a USB-C power supply unit.
A: No, single monitor only for MacBook up to 4K @ 60Hz
A: No, this dock is plug and play, no software is required.
A: Yes, the dock is compatible with a laptop that has a Thunderbolt 3 or a Thunderbolt 4 port. However, it will not deliver the maximum bandwidth of Thunderbolt technology (40Gbps), but rather deliver what the dock supports (10Gbps).
A: Unfortunately, if your USB-C port doesn’t support Alt Mode, then you won’t receive video output. If this is the case, one of our USB-A or Hybrid USB-A/USB-C docks would work better for you.
A: Yes, this dock provides Qi charging up to 10W (host USB-C port must support 5V/3A of power to enable full Qi charging)
A: No, in bus-power mode you have to use the toggle switch to choose between the dock and Qi charging modes. However, when a power adapter (85W or greater) is connected to the dock, both dock and Qi charging are enabled simultaneously.
A: Dual Monitor: 4K @ 60Hz (HBR3+DSC1.2) on Windows. A single monitor (up to 4K @ 60Hz) is supported on macOS, iPadOS and Samsung DeX®. macOS supports dual extended monitors in mirrored mode only.

A: Yes, you can use this dock as a wireless charging pad with the braided cable magnetically stowed in the dock. To do this, a USB-C power adapter must be connected to the USB-C port on the front of the dock. When in this mode, no other device (iPhone, iPad, Android phone, etc.) can be connected to the USB-C port on the dock.
