Description

The J5create JCA379 Minidocking Station is designed to expand the connectivity of compatible USB-C computers and tablets without requiring a large desktop docking station. Its compact form combines HDMI display output, USB 3.0 connectivity and USB-C Power Delivery in one portable unit.

The HDMI port supports video output up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz when the host USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode.

The integrated USB 3.0 Type-A port provides data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps and supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. This makes the adapter suitable for connecting common peripherals such as keyboards, mice and USB storage devices.

The USB-C Power Delivery port supports up to 100W of Power Delivery with a compatible USB-C power adapter. This allows the docking station to pass power through to a compatible computer while peripherals and an external display are connected. The power adapter is not included.

The JCA379 uses a compact ABS plastic enclosure and an integrated 20 cm cable. Its small size and 40.8 g weight make it suitable for carrying with a laptop and using between different work locations. The device is plug and play and does not require additional software or drivers.
