Docking Station CLUB3D CSV-1568 Metal Casing USB Gen2 Type-C USB Gen2 Type-A HDMI DP VGA RJ45 120W

The Club 3D CSV-1568 is a metal-cased USB Gen2 Type-C docking station that combines video, data, power, Ethernet and audio in a single unit. It provides up to four video outputs (three simultaneous outputs using MST), multiple USB data ports including USB-C and USB-A Gen2, a dedicated USB-A smart charging port, Gigabit Ethernet and both analog and optical audio outputs. The dock supports DP Alt Mode 1.4/1.2 on compatible Type-C and Thunderbolt 3 hosts and offers dual power options via USB-C PD or the included 120 W DC power supply. On Intel-based macOS systems the device is limited to SST (single-display) functionality.

Advantages

The CSV-1568 consolidates connectivity into one compact unit with a metallic housing and delivers high-speed USB Gen2 data transfer alongside multi-display DP Alt Mode support. It includes a smart charging port for quick device charging and offers flexible power input through USB-C PD or the 120 W adapter. With Gigabit Ethernet and both 3.5 mm and Toslink audio outputs, the dock supports wired networking and varied audio setups.

Suitable for

• Expanding laptop or compatible device connectivity at a workstation
• Connecting multiple external monitors (up to three simultaneous displays via MST on supported hosts)
• High-speed data transfer with USB Gen2 devices
• Home office or office use requiring wired Ethernet and audio output options

How to use

Connect the dock to a compatible host device using the USB-C cable that supports DP Alt Mode. Attach external displays to the HDMI, DisplayPort or VGA outputs according to your monitor inputs; when using MST you can enable up to three simultaneous displays on compatible hosts. Plug USB peripherals into the available USB-A and USB-C ports for data transfer and use the dedicated USB-A smart charging port for charging mobile devices. Connect a network cable to the Gigabit RJ-45 port for wired Ethernet and connect speakers or headphones via the 3.5 mm jack or Toslink optical out. Choose either USB-C PD or the included 120 W DC adapter to power the dock and supply power to the host if supported.

Recommendations

For multi-monitor setups, use hosts and cables that support DP Alt Mode 1.4 and MST to achieve three simultaneous displays. On Intel-based macOS systems expect only single-display (SST) operation. Use the 120 W power supply when higher power delivery is required or when connected peripherals draw significant power.
