Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite U442-DOCK5D-GY is a USB-C portable docking station that expands a compatible laptop, Chromebook, tablet or other USB-C host with HDMI video, USB connectivity, Gigabit Ethernet, SD and Micro SD card access. The dock uses a detachable USB-C cable and supports USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output.
Video and Display
The HDMI 1.4 output supports resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz, with support for 4:4:4 chroma subsampling and HDCP 1.4. The dock is designed to connect a compatible USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 host to an HDMI display such as a monitor, HDTV or projector. A DVI display can also be connected through an appropriate HDMI-to-DVI adapter.
USB Connectivity and Charging
Three USB-A USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports provide data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and support connected USB peripherals such as storage devices, keyboards, mice and printers. A separate USB-C port provides USB 3.2 Gen 1 data connectivity together with Power Delivery charging.
The USB-C PD port can deliver up to 100W of PD charging power to the connected host device when used with a compatible PD charger. The 100W figure describes charging/output power delivered to the host, rather than power consumed as an input by the dock itself.
For USB-A charging, one USB-A port supports up to 5V/1.5A (7.5W) for mobile-device charging. When a PD 3.0-compliant charger is connected, all three USB-A ports share a combined 5V/2A (10W) charging allocation. Without external power connected, USB-A output depends on the connected host source.
Networking and Memory Card Access
The integrated RJ45 Ethernet port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps network connections. The dock also provides separate SD and Micro SD memory card slots for accessing external storage through the USB-C host connection. The SD and Micro SD slots can be used simultaneously.
Key Features
- Up to 3840 x 2160 resolution at 30 Hz through HDMI 1.4
- Up to 100W USB Power Delivery charging output to a compatible host device
- Three USB-A USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports with data rates up to 5 Gbps
- Integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet connectivity
- SD and Micro SD memory card slots with detachable USB-C host cable
Applications
The U442-DOCK5D-GY can consolidate display, USB peripheral, wired networking and removable-storage connections for compatible USB-C laptops, Chromebooks and other supported host devices. It is suited to portable workstation setups where a single USB-C connection is used to expand available connectivity.
DC Supplies Product Note
The charging figures should be considered separately when planning a deployment: the USB-C PD connection can provide up to 100W to the host, while the three USB-A ports have a shared 10W allocation when the dock is connected to a PD 3.0-compliant charger. The actual host charging level also depends on the connected device and compatible power source.
