The docking station is equipped with a 135W power supply. This power supply powers the docking station itself and is able to charge the connected laptop at up to 100W. You do not need to connect an additional charger for your laptop. The laptop will be charged via the USB-C connection cable. The laptop must be equipped with a USB-C port that supports Power Delivery.

Additional features

The USB-C ports are divided into two USB 3.2 Gen2 data ports with maximum throughput speeds of 10Gbps and one USB 3.2 Gen1 data port with a maximum throughput speed of 5Gbps.
