VALUE USB-C Docking Station 7-in-1 with 4K60 HDMI, 3x USB-A, SD/microSD Reader, USB-C PD

The VALUE USB-C Docking Station 7-in-1 with 4K60 HDMI, 3x USB-A, SD/microSD Reader and USB-C PD is a compact single-cable expansion designed to add display, peripheral and card-reader connectivity to laptops and tablets with a USB-C port. It provides a 4K@60Hz HDMI output for external monitors, three USB-A ports for wired accessories, SD and microSD card reader slots for media transfer, and a USB-C Power Delivery passthrough port that supports charging while connected.

Advantages

This docking station consolidates multiple interfaces into a small, portable unit that reduces cable clutter and simplifies workstation setup. The 4K@60Hz HDMI output supports high-resolution video for presentations and media playback, while the trio of USB-A ports accommodates keyboards, mice, storage drives and other peripherals. Integrated SD and microSD card readers allow quick access to camera memory cards without extra adapters. The USB-C PD passthrough enables simultaneous device charging and data/video transmission over one cable.

Suitable for

• Expanding connectivity for ultrabooks and tablets with a USB-C port
• Connecting an external 4K monitor for presentations, video editing or extended desktop
• Attaching USB-A peripherals such as keyboards, mice and external drives
• Transferring photos and files from SD or microSD cards
• Home office or hybrid workstations where a compact hub is preferred

When it may not be suitable

The docking station requires a host device with a USB-C port that supports DP Alt Mode for video output; devices lacking DP Alt Mode will not output video through the HDMI port. If you need multiple external displays or docking features such as Ethernet, audio in/out or more advanced port counts, this 7-in-1 model may be insufficient.

Key specifications

• Video output: HDMI supporting up to 4K @ 60Hz
• USB ports: 3 x USB-A (data transfer for peripherals and storage)
• Card readers: SD and microSD slots for direct media access
• Power delivery: USB-C PD passthrough for charging host device while in use
• Connectivity: Single USB-C cable to host (data, video and power pass-through)
• Form factor: Compact, portable docking hub designed for laptop and tablet use

How to use

Connect the docking station to your laptop or tablet using the integrated or supplied USB-C cable. Attach an external monitor to the HDMI output and ensure the host device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode if video is required. Plug USB-A peripherals and insert SD or microSD cards into their respective slots to access files. If charging is needed while using the dock, connect a USB-C PD power adapter to the dock’s USB-C PD port; the dock will pass power through to the host while maintaining data and video connections.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your laptop or tablet’s USB-C port supports DP Alt Mode for HDMI video output
• Check required power delivery wattage for your device to ensure the PD passthrough meets charging needs
• Confirm that you do not require additional interfaces such as Ethernet, multiple monitor outputs, or audio ports

Usage recommendations

For stable 4K@60Hz output, use a quality HDMI cable and ensure the host device supports the required video mode. When transferring large files from memory cards or external drives, connect the dock directly to the host rather than through additional hubs to maximise transfer speed. If continuous high-power charging is needed, pair the dock with a USB-C power adapter that meets or exceeds your laptop’s recommended wattage.
