USB-C Docking Station: Solving the USB-C Port Technology Identification Challenge for Enterprise IT
As universal docking stations become the preferred productivity solution for many businesses and users, Purplelec products such as the HBC072 and HBC104 are being deployed more widely. However, in the first two years of deployment, IT departments faced a challenge: how to determine the specific technologies supported by the USB-C port being used. The key is that not all USB-C ports have the same capabilities; unlike USB 3.0, USB-C ports may support DisplayPort output (i.e., Alternate or Alt mode) and Power Delivery (PD) in addition to data transfer.
To help users better understand the characteristics of their USB-C port, Purplelec has compiled the following information: If your USB-C port has a small "10" next to the SuperSpeed USB logo, it is second generation and can reach speeds of 10Gbps, which is twice the speed of first generation USB-C (5Gbps).
For users of USB-C Alt Mode with PD, Purplelec’s HBC072 docking station is able to support dual-monitor desktop work, provide plenty of USB ports, and connect a variety of accessories while charging your Mac, PC or Chromebook. And for users of USB-C Alt Mode without PD but looking to make the move to USB-C, Purplelec offers the HBC104 docking station, which provides dual video display and peripheral connectivity for Macs and PCs equipped with USB-C or USB 3.0 ports.
No matter which docking station is best for your installation environment, Purplelec is the ideal choice. We are the only brand to offer VESA mounting options for all USB-C and Thunderbolt desktop docks, and we conduct rigorous testing on current and previous generation devices to ensure users can connect seamlessly without worrying about technical support issues.
