Plugable's flagship DisplayLink docking station has gotten a big upgrade. The Plugable USB-C Triple 4K Display Docking Station (UD-ULTC4K) was designed from the ground up based on five years of collected user feedback to include improved charging capabilities, more flexible display options, an SD card reader, and a front-facing 10Gbps, 20W USB-C port to fast charge your phone and other devices.

This second-generation dock provides a better customer experience with 3x DisplayPort ports and 3x HDMI ports to match your monitors. And of course, whichever you choose—HDMI or DisplayPort—you’ll get resolutions up to 4K @ 60Hz on all three monitors with USB4 / Thunderbolt 4 hosts via Alt Mode. But monitor ports weren’t the only thing to get a boost. The UD-ULTC4K comes with 100W charging to better accommodate larger laptops. This docking station is a one-stop shop for all peripherals users may need, connecting all 13 ports to the laptop with a powerful 10Gbps USB-C cable.
