Turn your Windows laptop or MacBook into a complete workstation with a single USB-C cable
This docking station gives you the complete package to turn your laptop into a complete workstation by connecting a single USB-C cable to your laptop. Connect up to two 4K monitors (max. resolution 4096x2160p @ 60Hz) using the DisplayPort and/or HDMI ports.

The AC7150 adds five additional USB ports to your laptop: two USB-C ports (10Gbps + 5Gbps) and three USB-A ports (1x 10Gbps + 2x 5Gbps).

DisplayLink® technology: extended monitor view for MacOS and Windows computers
The AC7150 docking station features DisplayLink® technology. The desktop of your device can be extended to two additional screens. This gives you a total of three monitor views (1x laptop, 2x monitor). This technology works with any Windows or MacOS computer that supports USB-C.
DisplayLink® technology provides a stable docking station solution for expanding your laptop using a dedicated chipset.

Charge your laptop with max. 85W from the docking station
The dock has a Power Delivery pass-through port that provides max. 85W. Connect your laptop’s USB-C charger (100W is recommended) to the PD pass-through port on the dock and your laptop will charge through the docking station. Please note that a power adapter is not included and is only required if you are charging your laptop via the USB-C port.

When connected to a USB-A port instead of a USB-C port
The AC7150 can also be used with USB-A laptops using the supplied USB-C to USB-A adapter. You can still extend your displays and use most other features. Drivers may need to be installed if the docking station is connected to older laptops via the USB-A port.
Please note that when using the docking station with a USB-A laptop, the Power Delivery passthrough feature is disabled. In this case the laptop will require an additional power supply.

Working in multiple locations or travelling for work?
The AC7150 is ideal for working in multiple locations. Its compact size and out-of-the-box monitor compatibility make it easy to connect displays and the wired LAN network.

Additional features
The USB-C ports are divided into one USB 3.2 Gen2 data port with a maximum throughput speed of 10Gbps and one USB 3.2 Gen1 data port with a maximum throughput speed of 5Gbps. The USB-A ports are divided into one USB 3.2 Gen2 data port with a maximum throughput speed of 10Gbps. The other two USB-A ports are USB 3.2 Gen1 ports with a maximum throughput speed of 5Gbps.

Additionally, connect a headset to the dedicated 3.5mm audio port. The AC7150 can also be used with USB-A laptops via the supplied USB-C to USB-A adapter.

User scenarios
Avoid cable clutter and problems when connecting cables. For many users, it’s not easy to get all the cables connected correctly. And why should they?

With the AC7150 docking station, you can create a tidy desk and work environment where you can get to work as soon as you plug in a single cable. Whether you are at the office or at home. You can connect multiple monitors, a keyboard and a mouse.
Flexible workspaces are more common in offices today. A universal docking station lets you work comfortably at different desks. Just plug in a cable and you are ready to go.

Using a docking station such as the AC7150, which uses DisplayLink technologies, solves compatibility issues with DP Alternate Mode MST docking stations. The independent drivers used by DisplayLink technologies ensure stable connections regardless of the laptop or monitors used.

Universal use with laptop brands
The AC7150 can be used with almost every modern laptop brand, such as HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer and Asus.

Attach up to two HDMI monitors to the HDMI outputs to extend the desktop using DisplayLink drivers if required. Plug in Ethernet and USB peripherals as needed. If your laptop only has USB-A, use the supplied USB-C to USB-A adapter and install drivers when prompted; note that PD passthrough will not function over USB-A and an external power supply will be required for laptop charging.

Use the latest DisplayLink drivers for macOS or Windows to ensure stable multi-monitor support. Connect a USB-C power adapter with sufficient wattage (up to 85W) to the dock’s PD passthrough port when charging your laptop. When using the supplied USB-C to USB-A adapter, be prepared to install drivers and provide a separate laptop power source because Power Delivery passthrough is disabled over USB-A.
