Docking station VISION TC-USBCHUB5P — USB-C hub with HDMI, USB-C power/data and 1GbE

VISION TC-USBCHUB5P is a compact USB-C docking station that expands a laptop or compatible device with an HDMI video output, a USB-C port that supports power delivery or data transfer, and a Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) network interface. The hub enables connection to external displays, wired networks and one additional USB-C peripheral or power source, offering a portable solution for work, presentations and travel where limited built-in ports require extension.

Advantages

The docking station combines HDMI video output, a USB-C port for either power or data, and a 1GbE RJ45 connection in a single compact enclosure, reducing the need for separate adapters. Its small form factor supports easy transport and quick setup with plug-and-play operation on compatible devices. The integrated Gigabit Ethernet port provides stable wired network access where wireless connections are unreliable or restricted. The unit is designed to keep a minimal footprint while providing essential connectivity for common mobile and office workflows.

Suitable for

• Connecting a laptop to an external monitor or projector via HDMI for presentations
• Providing wired Gigabit Ethernet access in offices, hotels or conference rooms
• Adding a USB-C port for charging or attaching a USB-C peripheral while using the host device
• Portable multiport connectivity for remote work, business travel or hot-desking

Key specifications

• Ports: HDMI output, USB-C (power or data), Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE)
• Video output: HDMI compatible with common resolutions supported by host device and display
• Network interface: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
• Form factor: compact, portable hub design suitable for travel
• Compatibility: USB-C host devices that support relevant alternate modes and power delivery

How to use

Connect the docking station to a compatible USB-C port on your laptop or device. Attach an HDMI cable from the hub's HDMI output to an external monitor or projector. Plug a network cable into the Gigabit Ethernet port for wired network access. Use the USB-C port on the hub for either providing power to the host device (if supported by the host and power source) or connecting a USB-C peripheral for data transfer. Ensure the host device's USB-C port supports the required alternate mode and power delivery features for full functionality. Most operating systems will recognize the connected ports automatically; drivers may be required in some cases according to the host device manufacturer.

Recommendations

For stable network performance, use a quality Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable and verify network settings on the host device. When using the USB-C port for charging, confirm the power adapter meets the host device's power delivery requirements. Place the hub on a flat, ventilated surface and avoid excessive bending of cables to maintain connector integrity.
