UGREEN 85489 14-Port USB-C Docking Station, Triple 4K Display, 100 W Charging

Overview

The UGREEN 85489 is a powered 14-port USB-C docking station that turns a USB-C laptop into a full desk workstation. One cable to the laptop gives you two DisplayPort and one HDMI output for up to three 4K screens on Windows, 10 Gbps USB ports, SD and microSD card readers, Gigabit Ethernet and a 3.5 mm audio jack, and the dock charges the laptop at up to 100 W from its own 140 W power supply.

Is it right for you?

• Suits an office or home desk where one laptop needs several monitors, wired internet, a headset and a set of USB accessories, with everything left plugged into the dock.
• Triple 4K independent displays need a compatible Windows laptop and graphics. On macOS the external screens are duplicated (SST) rather than independent, so a Mac user who wants three different desktops needs a different solution.
• The host USB-C port must support video output; the connector shape alone is not enough.
• If you only need one screen and a few USB ports, a smaller bus-powered hub is simpler and does not need its own power supply.

Key features

• Two DisplayPort outputs, each up to 8K at 30 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz on a single output in a compatible chain, and one HDMI output up to 4K at 60 Hz.
• Triple 4K external displays on compatible Windows hosts; duplicated external screens on macOS.
• Laptop charging up to 100 W through the host cable, powered by the included 140 W supply.
• A secondary USB-C charging port up to 27 W, for a phone or tablet, sharing the combined 100 W allocation.
• Two USB-C and two USB-A data ports at 10 Gbps.
• SD and TF (microSD) card readers up to 170 MB/s.
• Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) and a 3.5 mm audio connection.
• Approximately 1 m USB-C host cable, included.

What else you need

A laptop with a USB-C port that supports video output and charging. Display cables, an Ethernet cable, memory cards, USB accessories and a phone charging cable are not identified as included. A mains socket for the 140 W power supply.

Installation

Place the dock on the desk, connect the 140 W power supply and AC cord, then plug the host cable into the laptop. Connect monitors, network, audio and accessories to the dock. Check the plug format on the supplied AC cord matches your sockets before use, and check in the host operating system that the 3.5 mm port mode matches your headset or speakers.

Before you buy

• Triple 4K is conditional on a compatible Windows host and graphics. macOS external screens show the same content.
• The 8K at 30 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz DisplayPort maxima apply to a single output in a fully compatible chain and may fall when several screens are active. 8K, 4K at 120 Hz or triple 4K are not guaranteed from every laptop.
• Laptop charging up to 100 W and the 27 W secondary USB-C port share one 100 W allocation; the dock cannot deliver 100 W to the laptop and an independent 27 W at the same time.
• USB and card speeds are shared interface maxima, not guaranteed file-transfer results.
• Verify the regional plug format on the supplied AC cord.
