Product Description
With its diminutive size and support for 85W of laptop charging (Power Delivery), the Plugable USB-C Mini Docking Station (UD-CAM) remains one of Plugable's smallest yet powerful USB-C docks available.
Plugable is an industry leader in Docking Station products, and this smaller form-factor dock should not be underestimated. Utilizing innovations introduced with USB 3.1, this dock is one of the first to use "Alternate Mode" from the USB-C specifications for one of the display outputs.
This dock supports USB Power Delivery, enabling the dock to charge a laptop, 2-in-1, or Windows tablet connected to it (up to 85W).
Note: Please read the information below for details regarding display output types and system requirements for the best compatibility, even with newer systems. USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 system with support for USB Alt Mode video output and/or PD charging is required for this docking station; not all systems or USB-C ports support these features. The dock will not work properly if adapted to USB 3.0 to connect to the computer or tablet.
When attached to a fully compatible USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 system, the UD-CAM supports Windows 11, 10, 8.x, and 7, macOS, and Chrome OS.
Feature Packed

|
---|---|---|
Display and Charge
Drive a single HDMI display output at a maximum resolution of 4K 30Hz (2560x1600 and lower at 60Hz) on compatible USB-C Alt Mode systems. Note: DisplayPort (DP) monitors are not supported. If your device supports USB Power Delivery (USB PD), this dock supports up to 85W of charging to your host device. |
Connect
Get back your USB, audio, and network connections, or just make it easier to leave things plugged in at your main work area, and reconnect them, with one cable from the dock. |
Mount
Easily mount this dock on the back of your monitor to keep your desk clutter free and save desk space for the things that matter most. With the included VESA mount, this dock gives you the flexibility to use the dock on your desk or on the back of a compatible VESA monitor |
Hardware Compatibility Notes
USB-C is a new standard with much versatility. As a result, compatibility information is complex. Some USB-C systems support Alt Mode video output, while others do not. Some can be powered and charged through USB PD, while others do not. It is very important to check the compatibility of your device before purchase.
In the "Technical Specification" section of this Amazon product page is a "Specification Sheet" PDF that contains detailed compatibility notes for a variety of laptops and tablets that are updated regularly.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As far as the device itself is concerned, it looks great. It is quite small, solidly built, and came packaged very nicely. All of this considered along with the fact that this dock is reasonably priced, especially compared to products from other manufacturers, makes this an awesome deal. This wasn't my first purchase from Plugable as I ordered to 10-port USB hub from them years ago which has performed way better than any other hub I have ever used. As a result of my previous good experience with Plugable, I was not reluctant to purchase this dock from them. However, they have several similar products which made it difficult for me to decide which one to purchase. I contacted their support department in order to ask for a recommendation and they responded very promptly. I was impressed at how responsive they were as well as how they gave me their honest opinion of what I should consider as opposed to trying to sell me their more expensive USB-C and Thunderbolt docks.
I have nothing but good things to say about Plugable and I highly recommend this docking station.
I just upgraded my phone from an S9 to a Note S20 and this thing no longer works with DEX. To be clear, it still works fine with my S9, but will not work in DEX mode with the NOTE S20.
Old Review:
Used it for a couple of days now.
Pros:
It has, so far, always connected everytime without issue.
The headphone and microphone work just fine (except on phone calls because either google, or samsung don't feel the need to address this long standing issue of trying to use a usb C headset to make/receive calls if the phone already has a dedicated headphone jack - that's on those two clowns, not plugable).
The ethernet port works without issue
The usb ports work without issue.
It charges my phone without issue.
I love that I can attach it to the back of my monitor
Cons:
The price is WAY too high for something like this though. My only complaint so far
Unasked for commentary:
First of all, I do NOT understand why it was so hard to determine if this thing would work with Samsung DeX. Not on this site, not, explicity, on the Plugable site, does it say that it will work with DeX.
After looking around, I found an obscure video plugable did and buried that said it would work with DeX. Seriously, I'm not sure why they don't make this more apparant.
Pros:
- Worked out of the box. Plugged everything in and didn't need to adjust settings or install any additional software
- Charges my MacBook 15" automatically when plugged in!
- Drives a single display over standard HDMI cable.
- Connected to Ethernet so I can disable wifi while plugged in.
Cons:
- Some occasional screen flicker. Not enough to want to return the unit.
- Occasional it will not power on my external display. When this happens I power cycle the unit (button right on the front) and everything works again.
- Can only drive 1 external monitor (not really a con at this price point though).
In summary: Great unit for the price. You cannot find anything cheaper for USB C. If you need to only drive a single monitor, buy this unit!
1. High power delivery. It comes with its own power adapter made by Chicony, which I believe is the OEM for HP. Adapter looks very solid.
2. Removable USB C cable! All cheaper docks have a soldered-on usb cable, which are really short and don't allow the cable mess to be easily organized. If the USB cable breaks or you need a longer one, many are available (make sure to get one with PD and Video out support).
3. Plenty of ports! Most docks make a fuzz of having 3 video outputs (which I don't need). This one is great because it has 1 hdmi, 1 gigabit ethernet port, headset jack and 4 high speed USB ports.
4. USB ports are powered! Since this device has its own power adapter, you can charge your devices without the host computer being plugged in. I was also able to use a long usb extension cord for a webcam, that doesn't work on any other usb c dock I've tried.
All in all, price does make a difference, and I'm glad I paid extra to get this dock, it works great!

Top reviews from other countries
Plugable made this awesome docking station which has ports for ethernet, HDMI, worked so well for months now. I use it everyday and without it I wouldn't have access to so many things at once. Not once has any devices or peripherals dropped out, disconnected, this port can handle 2-3 external drives 1 TB and over. The chromebook has been at 100% power since I connected it to the station, not once has the bar decreased from full.
Amazing... I recommend Plugable to my friends as they reply almost instantly on YouTube, via their website when searching for support to contact them. They answered all my questions which were pages of questions :)
I recommend this dock if you're looking for a way for your pc to stay connected to many peripherals at once.
