About USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1

USB 3.0 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1. This connectivity standard oers speeds up to

5Gbps.

About the docking station ports

The USB 3.0 ports on the on the docking station (one on the front and three on the

rear) are standard USB 3.0 throughput ports. When the dock is connected to a host

laptop, these ports provide a trickle charge to a selection of USB-charged devices.

The USB 3.0 fast-charge and sync ports the docking station (one on the front and

one on the rear) are compliant with USB Battery Charging Specication Revision 1.2

(BC1.2), which means that you can use the port to connect and charge a device faster

than you can using a traditional standard USB 3.0 port.

This front USB 3.0 port can fast-charge a connected device even when the dock isn’t

connected to a host laptop. When the docking station is connected to a host laptop,

the front USB 3.0 port functions as a Charging Downstream Port (CDP), which has

simultaneous charge and sync capabilities.

The provided power adapter must always be connected to the docking station in order

to charge a device using the USB 3.0 fast-charge and sync port.

whether your network connection is active, the docking station might automatically
