USB4 Dual-Monitor Docking Station with 40Gbps Bandwidth, Dual 4K 120Hz HDMI 2.1 Outputs, 100W Power Delivery, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, and Driverless Deployment for Enterprise Workstations
The StarTech 155NA-USB4-DOCK is a USB4 docking station that transforms a single USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 port into a complete dual-monitor workstation with 40Gbps bandwidth driving uncompressed video directly from the laptop GPU. Two HDMI 2.1 outputs support dual 4K displays at 120Hz (4:2:2) or 60Hz (4:4:4 RGB) for color-accurate work, while a single display configuration reaches 8K at 60Hz for ultra-high-resolution workflows.
The dock delivers 100W USB Power Delivery through its included 180W adapter to charge the laptop while powering all downstream ports simultaneously, and the 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connection with PXE Boot and Wake-on-LAN supports IT-managed deployments. Six USB ports (2x USB-A 10Gbps, 2x USB-A 5Gbps, 1x USB-C 10Gbps, 1x USB-C 5Gbps with 20W PD) connect peripherals and charge mobile devices, and the entire dock operates driverless on Windows and ChromeOS for plug-and-play zero-touch rollouts.
Where the StarTech USB4 Docking Station Fits
- Enterprise IT deployments requiring driverless multi-monitor workstations where plug-and-play operation on Windows and ChromeOS eliminates driver management overhead, PXE Boot and Wake-on-LAN enable remote provisioning, and the Kensington lock slot secures the dock in shared and hot-desk environments
- Creative and engineering professionals running dual 4K 120Hz displays where HDMI 2.1 outputs deliver uncompressed video powered by the laptop's native GPU through 40Gbps USB4 bandwidth, and single-display configurations reach 8K resolution for CAD, video editing, and medical imaging
- Hybrid workers consolidating laptop connectivity into a single-cable desk setup where one USB4 cable delivers dual 4K video, 100W laptop charging, 2.5GbE networking, and six USB ports for peripherals, reducing cable clutter to a single connection point
What the StarTech USB4 Docking Station Delivers
- Dual 4K 120Hz HDMI 2.1 Video: Two HDMI 2.1 outputs drive dual 4K displays at 120Hz (4:2:2) or 60Hz (4:4:4 RGB) using uncompressed video from the laptop GPU through 40Gbps USB4 bandwidth. Single display setups reach 8K 30Hz (4:4:4) or 8K 60Hz (4:2:2).
- 100W Power Delivery with 180W Adapter: Charges the laptop at 100W while simultaneously powering all downstream ports, a 20W USB-C PD charging port for tablets, and a 7.5W BC 1.2 charging port for smartphones.
- 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet with PXE Boot: Wired 2.5GbE networking delivers reliable high-speed file transfers and cloud access with PXE Boot for network provisioning, Wake-on-LAN for remote management, and MAC Address Pass-through for network security policies.
- 6-Port USB Hub at Up to 10Gbps: Four USB-A ports (2x 10Gbps, 2x 5Gbps) and two USB-C ports (1x 10Gbps, 1x 5Gbps with 20W PD) connect keyboards, mice, storage drives, and mobile devices at full speed.
- Driverless Enterprise Deployment: Plug-and-play operation on Windows 10/11 and ChromeOS with no drivers or software required, supporting scalable zero-touch rollouts across corporate, BYOD, and shared workspace environments.
Will a Thunderbolt Dock Work with USB4?
USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 share the same physical USB-C connector and both support 40Gbps bandwidth, but they are separate standards with overlapping compatibility. The StarTech 155NA-USB4-DOCK is designed to work with both USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 laptop ports, providing full dual-monitor and charging functionality from either connection type. Thunderbolt 4 laptops connecting to this USB4 dock receive the same dual 4K 120Hz video output, 100W charging, and full port access as USB4 laptops, making this dock a universal solution for mixed-fleet environments where some laptops have USB4 and others have Thunderbolt 4.
