Portable USB 3.0 dock for laptops

The StarTech USB3SMDOCKHV is a compact travel docking station that connects to a laptop USB 3.0 port. It adds one HDMI port, one VGA port, a Gigabit RJ-45 network jack and an extra USB 3.0 Type-A socket. The unit measures 0.70" x 2.20" x 4.90" and weighs 0.18 lb. It is designed for mobile professionals who need video and wired networking on the move.

Suits single-display setups and wired networking

This dock serves users who want one external monitor via HDMI or VGA and a stable Ethernet connection while travelling. It does not suit buyers who require two simultaneous external displays or additional video outputs beyond the single HDMI and VGA provided. Power users needing more than one downstream USB 3.0 port should also consider other options.

One video output at a time

The HDMI and VGA ports share the video pathway so only one monitor can be active at once. Choose this dock if your workflow needs just a single external screen; look elsewhere if you must drive two monitors simultaneously.

Questions about this item

Which ports should I use for video — HDMI or VGA?

Connect one external display using either the HDMI or VGA port; both cannot run simultaneously.

What does the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 rating mean for file transfers?

The USB 3.0 host port and downstream port share a 5 Gbps SuperSpeed link, so real-world throughput will be lower than the theoretical maximum.

Does the built-in USB 3.0 cable work with USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the captive USB 3.0 Type-A plug is backward compatible with USB 2.0 hosts, but the dock will then operate at USB 2.0 speeds.
