Tripp Lite USB C Docking Station w/ USB-A Hub, HDMI, Micro SD
Modern laptops drop ports to shed thickness, which leaves you scrambling when a desk setup needs an actual display and standard peripherals. We built this silver adapter to break out HDMI, standard USB ports, memory card access, and pass-through charging from one host plug.

How this one is built
Video feed output
The HDMI connection routes an external display signal from laptops or tablets that support alternate mode video. You can mirror the primary screen for presentations or run an extended desktop to keep reference material open on a second monitor.
Peripheral expansion ports
A pair of standard USB ports links flash drives, wired mice, keyboards, or printers to machines built without older sockets. Data moves across the bus without bottlenecking basic desktop peripherals, and cards drop directly into the onboard card reader.
Pass through charging
The dedicated USB-C power delivery port accepts incoming current from your existing charger to supply the host computer. Power flows across the hub while the other connectors handle video and data, keeping the laptop battery charged during long desk sessions.
Housing and transport
The compact metal shell protects internal circuitry and tucks into a bag alongside the laptop without taking up meaningful space. Its attached pigtail cable keeps strain off the host connector when you set the hub down on crowded conference tables.
