HODO USB-C Docking Station 8-in-1 Dual/Quad Monitor

HODO USB C Docking Station is an 8-in-1 multiport hub that expands a single USB-C laptop port into dual/quad monitor outputs, three USB 2.0 ports and a 100W PD charging pass-through.

This compact Thunderbolt-style dongle turns compatible USB-C laptops into workstation-ready machines without installing drivers. It combines two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort, and one VGA port to support multiple monitor setups up to 4K, plus three USB 2.0 ports for peripherals and a high-power USB-C PD inlet for laptop charging. The dock is designed for users who need flexible video outputs and steady charging from a single cable while keeping a low-profile footprint on a desk or in a travel bag.

How many external monitors can I drive and at what resolutions?

The HODO dock supports multiple monitor configurations depending on your laptop’s USB-C DisplayPort output and which ports you use. You can use two 4K-capable ports simultaneously under certain conditions, and when all four video outputs are used the maximum common resolution is 1080p at 60Hz.

• Dual 4K option: two HDMI/DP combos up to 4K (one HDMI 60Hz, one HDMI 30Hz, DP 4K@60Hz depending on host).
• Triple display: mix of HDMI+DP+VGA for three screens; VGA limits outputs to 1080p.
• Quad display: when all video ports are active, expect 1080p@60Hz across screens.
• Mac note: macOS may mirror external displays rather than extend them.

Will this dock keep my laptop charged while I’m working?

Yes — the docking station provides a dedicated USB-C PD input that accepts up to 100W. The dock safely passes through power to your laptop with up to 87W output under normal conditions, but your laptop must support USB-C Power Delivery to charge from the hub.

• Use a high-quality 65W–100W USB-C power adapter (not included) for reliable charging.
• The dock will show a safe maximum output of around 87W to most laptops.
• Lower-wattage chargers may trigger system warnings or slower charging.
• Ensure your laptop’s USB-C port supports PD and video (full-featured USB-C).

What connections and speeds are available for peripherals?

This hub includes three USB 2.0 ports for keyboards, mice, printers, and USB flash drives, offering plug-and-play convenience and no-lag input for basic peripherals. Data speeds match USB 2.0 specifications (up to 480 Mbps), so it’s ideal for input devices and basic storage rather than high-bandwidth external SSDs.

• Three USB-A 2.0 ports for keyboard, mouse, and thumb drives.
• USB 2.0 transfer rates up to 480 Mbps — suitable for peripherals and file transfers.
• VGA port available for legacy displays and projectors (limits resolution).
• Plug-and-play on most Windows and Linux systems; no drivers typically required.

Which laptops and operating systems are compatible?

The HODO docking station is built for laptops with a full-featured USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery. It works with many Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, and MacBook models, although macOS has display-mode limitations described above.

• Tested with Dell XPS, Latitude, Lenovo ThinkPad/Yoga, HP EliteBook/Envy, Surface Pro, MacBook Pro/Air.
• Requires a USB-C port with video and PD capability for full functionality.
• If issues arise, HODO customer support is available through the order page.

Who is this for: The HODO USB C Docking Station is aimed at remote workers, content creators, and professionals who need to expand a single USB-C port into multiple displays and USB connections while maintaining laptop charging. It’s a practical travel-friendly option for anyone who uses a mixture of modern displays and legacy projectors, needs reliable peripheral support, and wants a minimal, cable-consolidating dock without complex setup.
