Connectivity expansion

The Anker PowerExpand 9-in-1 USB-C PD Dock adds nine ports through a single USB-C connection. It provides two USB-C Power Delivery ports, an HDMI port, a DisplayPort, three USB-A ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The dock measures 5.71 x 2.56 x 0.94 inches and weighs 0.41 lb. A 100W power adapter, 1.2 m power cord, and 1 m USB 3.1 Gen 2 USB-C to C cable are included.

Compatibility fit

This dock suits users whose laptops support Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C. It works for Windows systems that can drive dual 4K monitors at 30 Hz via DisplayPort 1.4. It is not for macOS users who need Multi-Stream Transport for dual extended displays, because macOS only supports Single-Stream Transport. Buyers without a compatible USB-C port on their host device should look elsewhere.

Port capacity and limits

The upstream USB-C port delivers up to 60W to charge a connected laptop, while the front-facing USB-C PD port supplies up to 20W for phones or tablets. Data transfers reach 5 Gbps through the USB 3.0 Type-A port and the USB-C PD port. Dual 4K output runs at 30 Hz; single 4K at 60 Hz requires a laptop with DisplayPort 1.4 support. The Gigabit Ethernet port handles wired network traffic at standard line rate.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop need to support Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C for this dock to work?

Yes, the connected laptop must support Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode via its USB-C port for the dock to function.

Can I run dual 4K monitors at 30 Hz with an older laptop that only has DisplayPort 1.2?

Dual 4K@30 Hz requires the laptop to support DisplayPort 1.4; with DisplayPort 1.2 you will be limited to lower resolutions or a single display.

How can I verify the dock is delivering the full 60 W charge to my laptop after setup?

Check your laptop's battery or power settings — it should report 60 W input from the USB-C upstream port when the included 100 W adapter is connected.
