Dell USB and USB Type-C Docks

 

USB and USB Type-C series of docking stations support DisplayPort over USB and Thunderbolt 3. This allows computers to be docked with external Keyboards, Mice, Displays, and other functions. Any computer with the required hardware works with a USB or USB Type-C dock. There are requirements for docks to be compatible or recommended for use with specific computers.

Note: Warranty support for computers that are not listed on the compatibility list for a dock may not be supported (based on your warranty entitlement).
 
Note: Thunderbolt 3 devices work on Thunderbolt 4 ports. Be aware the device operates at Thunderbolt 3 specifications.
 

Dell commercial docks are designed to be used with our commercial laptops and 2-in-1 computers. These include Latitude, Precision, and some XPS laptops. Different dock models are recommended based on power requirements and ports.
