Single-cable USB-C dock for 4K 30 Hz setups

The TRENDnet TUC-DS1 connects a laptop or Ultrabook to an HDMI display, wired network and USB peripherals through one USB-C upstream link. It supports Windows 10, 8.1, 8 and 7 as well as Mac OS 10.9 to 10.12 and Android 7.0 devices with USB-C. The compact black cube adds HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, one USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 downstream ports plus a power jack.

Travellers and light-duty desk users

Workers who need a small dock for hotel rooms, hot desks or a secondary monitor will appreciate the 2.30" x 2.60" x 1.40" footprint and 4.60 oz weight. Buyers who require more than one external display, USB-C downstream ports or charging power delivery from the dock itself should consider other solutions.

HDMI limited to 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz

The single HDMI output tops out at 3840 x 2160 resolution at 30 Hz, which determines whether the dock can drive a 4K screen smoothly enough for your workflow. If your use case demands 60 Hz at that resolution, this unit will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the HDMI port need an adapter to reach 3840x2160 at 30 Hz?

No adapter is required; the built-in HDMI port supports that resolution and refresh rate directly.

Which connection will saturate first during continuous heavy traffic — the Gigabit Ethernet or the USB 3.0 port?

The Gigabit Ethernet link caps at 1 Gbps, while the USB 3.0 downstream port runs at 5 Gbps, so the network port reaches its ceiling first.

Does the dock’s enclosure or power jack get hot when the HDMI, Ethernet and all USB ports are active all day?

The unit has no fan and draws power through the external jack, so warmth stays low; the compact 2.30 x 2.60 x 1.40 inch case dissipates heat passively.
