Power and charge the connected laptop by connecting the host computer's USB-C power adapter to the USB-C PD 3.0 pass-through port. Alternatively, power the speaker dock with bus power. In this configuration, the USB-C PD port can be used to connect a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) peripheral. The dock also features a built-in 22-inch (56 cm) cable to provide extended reach that reduces port/connector strain on 2-in-1 devices like the Surface Pro 7/8, or when used with laptops on a riser stand. The docking station supports Windows, macOS, and Chrome OS. Connect to Thunderbolt 3/4 and USB Type-C laptops from HP, Lenovo, Dell, and Apple. Integrated wrap-around cable management enables the cable to be tucked away to prevent tangling during transit.
