Overview
The Eaton U442-DOCK4-S is a versatile USB-C docking station designed to dramatically expand the connectivity capabilities of modern laptops, tablets, and smartphones equipped with a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port.

Furthermore, its 100W USB-C Power Delivery (PD) functionality not only powers the connected device but also charges it efficiently, streamlining cable management and maintaining device readiness throughout the workday. Designed for plug-and-play operation, the U442-DOCK4-S requires no complex driver installations, enabling immediate productivity. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for both permanent desk installations and as a portable solution for professionals on the go.
