Dock selection tips

Finding the right Plugable UD dock

Consider the number of external monitors you need and their resolution. UD Series docks vary from dual to triple display support, and some use DisplayLink technology for universal compatibility. Verify that the dock matches your laptop’s port (USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt) and that it delivers adequate power for charging. If you use a Chromebook, look for models certified for ChromeOS. Compare the number of USB-A and USB-C ports, Ethernet speed, and card readers. With 4 docks priced $42.50-$84.65, you can choose based on features and budget.

Why isn't my Plugable docking station charging my laptop?

Check that the dock is connected to a power adapter with sufficient wattage. Some docks require a specific power supply for full charging, especially for large laptops. Also ensure your laptop's USB-C port supports Power Delivery and that you're using the included cable.

How do I fix a Plugable DisplayLink dock not working after a macOS update?

Download the latest DisplayLink Manager from Plugable's website and reinstall the driver. If the issue persists, restart your Mac, check System Settings > Privacy & Security for driver approvals, and ensure the dock is connected directly to the Mac.

Can a Plugable UD dock work with a Chromebook?

Many UD Series docks, especially those using DisplayLink, are compatible with ChromeOS. Look for 'Chromebook' certification in the product title or specifications to ensure plug-and-play functionality.

How much power does a Plugable UD dock deliver to my laptop?

Depending on the model, the UD Series can provide up to 100W of power delivery. Check the product specs for exact wattage, and make sure your laptop's charger requirements are within that range.
