Targus DOCK116GLZ laptop dock/port replicator Wired USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) Type-C Black

Streamline your on-the-go workspace with Targus® USB-C® Universal Dual HD Docking Station with 80W PD Pass-Thru. Its stow-away host cable, compact, lightweight design makes it easy to slip into the pocket of your backpack or luggage, and ensures it doesn’t take up valuable working real estate if you’re working remotely. A rubber-padded bottom provides grip so the dock stays in one place. Equipped with DisplayLink® technology, this tiny dock offers compatibility with most laptop brands and supports single 2K 2560 x 1440 video or dual HD 2048 x 1152 video via HDMI. Additionally, it comes with a USB-A host adapter so you can use it with new or legacy laptops.

This flexible and powerful dock offers multiple ports — an Ethernet port, 1 USB-C port (10 Gbps) and 2 USB-A ports (10 Gbps) — to accommodate your essential accessories like a mouse, keyboard, or hard drive. Top that off, the DOCK116GLZ is the smartest travel dock you’ll need to stay connected, powered, and productive while on the road. With 80W power pass-thru**, keep your host and other devices charged while connecting your power supply to the dock. Or simply plug your dock into the host for the computer to do all the charging — no AC adapter needed.

Innovative Design
A compact, lightweight design makes this dock ideal for travel and easily fits into the pocket of your backpack. Its tethered stow-away cable management keeps messy wires at bay. For ultimate flexibility, it’s host bus-powered or you can connect a USB-C® power adapter to the dock (power adapter not included) to pass-thru and power the host. Perfect for those laptops with only a single USB-C port.

Truly Universal Compatibility
Unlike proprietary docking solutions that lock users into a specific platform, brand, or even model of laptop, this utilizes DisplayLink® technology for maximum compatibility. That compatibility eliminates the need to replace it at every laptop refresh, which translates to lower cost of ownership for higher productivity over a longer time. The DOCK116GLZ is compatible with both Windows® and macOS®, plus other operating systems.

Supports Dual HDMI Monitors
Create a picture-perfect dual display set-up on both PC and Mac. With two HDMI ports available, you can enjoy dual HD (2048 x 1152) displays via HDMI or opt for a single 2K (2560 x 1140) connection.

Connect Your Favorite Accessories
With 2 USB-A ports (10 Gbps) and 1 USB-C® port (10 Gbps), it’s simple to add the latest keyboard, external drives, and other peripherals to customize your travel workspace experience.

Enterprise Software Suite: A Targus Exclusive
Enhance security and improve user experience with the Targus Enterprise Software Suite for DOCK116.

- Wi-Fi Auto Switch: auto enables/disables Wi-Fi functionality when the dock’s Ethernet connection is active, reducing unnecessary network traffic and enabling faster connection speeds.
- MAC Address Cloning: auto replaces the MAC address of the connected Targus Ethernet network adapter with any (Wired Ethernet, Wireless Ethernet, Bluetooth) MAC address of the local host, supporting device-based authentication methods.
- Ghost Device Removal: purges older, latent Targus docking station devices from the local registry preventing registry bloat.
- Targus A/V Configuration Utility: restores audio configuration, icon, and first-level application window’s positions to external monitors when re-connecting to a previously used Targus docking station.

How to use

Connect the dock to your laptop using the integrated USB-C cable or the included USB-A adapter for legacy systems. Attach external displays to the HDMI ports to configure either a single 2K output or dual HD outputs. Plug peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, or external drives into the USB-A or USB-C ports and connect Ethernet for wired network access. To enable power pass-thru, connect a compatible USB-C power adapter to the dock; otherwise the host can power the dock directly when connected.

Recommendations

For best results use a USB-C power adapter that can supply sufficient wattage to support your laptop plus peripherals when using 80W pass-thru. Install the latest DisplayLink drivers and the Targus Enterprise Software Suite (DOCK116) for enhanced network, MAC cloning and device management features.
