Truly Universal Hybrid Docking Stations
Thee DocKtor defines “Truly Universal” in the video at Targus Universal Docking Stations Training Series | Part 1.
Many companies are following Targus’ lead by claiming to have “Truly Universal” Docking Stations, but their docking stations are not what Targus defines as “Truly Universal”.
At Targus, a Truly Universal Docking Station has all the built-in functions and performs:
- connected to any USB-C or USB-A host receptacle, and
- provides Power Delivery to the maximum 100WDC of the Type-C specifications, at all the popular host voltage levels, and
- provides maximum power to legacy (barrel) type hosts, and
- finally works across brand and platform (OS)
Other companies often confuse by using phrases the words “truly universal” or even “hybrid” to mean the dock can connect to a USB-C or USB-A host; however, they do not support power on USB-C, or to the various levels, or at all using a Type-A host. They have no built-in legacy power support.
