Note: When connecting to a DP 1.4 Alt Mode supported host, the max resolution of the HDMI ports is 4K/60 Hz (Dual: 4K/30 Hz). If connecting to a DP 1.2 Alt Mode supported host, the max resolution of the HDMI ports is 4K/30 Hz (Dual: 1080p/60 Hz) due to the limited bandwidth.

Connect the built-in USB-C cable to your source device’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port.
Notes:
• To transfer both video/audio and data signals, source must support DisplayPort Alt Mode.
• Multi-Stream Transport (MST) is required to achieve extended dual displays. Displays will be mirrored under Single-Stream Transport (SST). Typically, Windows systems support MST, while Mac systems support SST.
With user-supplied HDMI cable(s), connect one or two HDMI-compliant displays to the docking station.
Connect up to two (U442-DOCK8G-GG) or three (U442-DOCK8-GG) USB 3.2 Gen 1 peripheral devices. One dedicated USB-A port provides up to 7.5A of fast charging power.
Insert a Micro SD and/or SD card into the memory card slots to transfer data to or from the source device.
Charge your source, up to 20V 5A (100W), using the available USB-C PD 3.0 port.
(U442-DOCK8G-GG only) Connect a user-supplied Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port to join a wired Gigabit Ethernet network at speeds up to 10/100/1000 Mbps.
