Installation

Connecting

Front Ports

USB-C (10Gbps) Port

The USB-C (10Gbps) Port on the front panel is not a Thunderbolt 3 port. You can

use this port to connect peripherals using USB 3.0 (10Gbps) technology. This

port supports data throughput only. The port does not support DP Alt Mode or

USB Power Delivery.

Note: This USB-C Port will charge at up to 3A when the Docking Station is

connected to Host Laptop through the Thunderbolt 3 Host Port.

1. Connect a USB-C cable to the USB-C (10Gbps) Port on the front of the

Docking Station.

2. Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to a USB-C port on your

compatible device.

USB-A (5Gbps) Port

The USB-A (5Gbps) Port on the front of the Docking Station can be used to

connect compatible USB devices. These ports can be used to connect media

devices (External Media Drive) or can be used to connect peripheral devices for

use with the connected Host (e.g. Keyboard, Mouse, Web Camera, etc.).

The USB-A (5Gbps) Fast-Charge and Sync Port on the front panel of the Docking

To view manuals, videos, drivers, downloads, technical drawings, and more visit www.startech.com/support

Station is compliant with USB Battery Charging Specication Revision 1.2 (BC

1.2), which means that you can use the USB-A (5Gbps) Port to connect and

charge a device faster than you can using a traditional standard USB 3.0 port.

1. Connect a USB-A cable into the USB-A Port on the front on the Docking

Station.

2. Connect the other end of the USB-A cable into a USB port on your

compatible device.
