9-in-1 USB-C docking station
The Adesso AUH-4040 adds nine ports through a single USB-C connection. It suits laptop users who need extra displays, wired networking, card readers and legacy USB-A devices without carrying multiple adapters. The compact aluminium body weighs 3.35 oz and measures 4.92" x 2.00" x 0.63" for easy transport. It requires a host port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode via USB-C 3.1 or Thunderbolt 3.
Sustained multi-port operation
Under continuous use the aluminium casing dissipates heat to maintain stable data rates across the three USB 3.0-A ports rated at 5 Gbps and the Gigabit Ethernet link at 10/100/1000 Mbps. The Power Delivery input accepts up to 100 W to keep the host charged while all peripherals remain active. Dual HDMI outputs can run at 4K/60 Hz or a single 8K/30 Hz stream without signal degradation during long sessions. SD and TF card slots operate at 480 Mbps for steady media transfers.
Compatibility checklist
Verify that your device’s USB-C port explicitly supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and either USB-C 3.1 or Thunderbolt 3; standard USB-C charging-only ports will not drive the video outputs. Confirm the host can supply or accept up to 100 W Power Delivery if you intend to charge through the dock. Ensure your operating system provides native plug-and-play support for multi-stream transport to use both HDMI ports simultaneously. No driver installation is required for supported hosts.
