Specifications and compatibility data for computers, docks, monitors and chargers, including limits and required cables. Available by API or periodic downloads.
Choose a computer and accessory to see requirements and limits.
Examples for office use on Windows.
Requires Original dock power supply.
Computer requirements:
Confirm DisplayLink installation is allowed; on macOS, screen-recording permission is also required.
Charging figures require the listed supply and the dock’s original computer cable. They describe the power available, not a guaranteed charging speed.
Each monitor needs the input and resolution shown. The computer and software requirements above still apply.
USB peripherals, Ethernet, audio and the power button aren’t checked.
Check screens and cables for office use. Charging is shown above.
