Laptop dock TECHLY IADAP-USB31-DOCK1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C hub with HDMI, RJ-45, USB-A, USB-C, 20V 3A, white

TECHLY IADAP-USB31-DOCK1 is a compact USB Type-C laptop dock and port replicator that expands connectivity for USB-C enabled laptops and tablets. Using the USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) host interface, this white hub integrates an HDMI video output (DP Alt Mode), a Gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet port, one USB-A 3.0 downstream port and one USB-C downstream port with data and PD charging support. The device is bus-powered (provides up to 20 V, 3 A output for compatible hosts), is CE/RoHS/WEEE certified and is compatible with a wide range of systems including Windows 7–10, recent MacBook models and USB-C Chromebooks. Weighing approximately 108 g, it is designed for users who need to add an external display, wired network access and additional USB connectivity without adding a large docking station.

Advantages

The TECHLY USB-C dock combines video output, wired networking and both USB-A and USB-C downstream ports in a single compact unit, reducing cable clutter and simplifying connections when working from a desk or on the move. Its HDMI output supports external monitors via DisplayPort Alternate Mode, while the Gigabit Ethernet port provides stable wired network access where Wi-Fi may be unreliable. The USB-C downstream port supports data transfer and Power Delivery charging, allowing compatible laptops to receive power through the dock. The lightweight and compact form factor makes it easy to carry and install without tools.

How to use

Plug the integrated USB-C connector into the USB-C port of the host computer that supports USB 3.2 Gen 1. Connect an HDMI cable from the dock to an external monitor or projector to enable video output via DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Attach a wired Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port to establish a stable network connection. Use the USB-A port to connect peripherals such as external drives, keyboards or mice. If the connected host supports Power Delivery, connect a compatible USB-C power adapter to the dock’s USB-C downstream port to supply power and charge the host device. No separate drivers are typically required for modern operating systems; check system compatibility for older platforms.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use high-quality HDMI and Ethernet cables and ensure the host device supports USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode and Power Delivery as required. When connecting high-bandwidth peripherals, connect to a USB 3.2 Gen 1-compatible port on the host. If using with older operating systems, verify driver support for USB Ethernet adapters. Avoid exposing the dock to liquids or extreme temperatures; disconnect before cleaning.
