Product Description

UD-6950H

Expand Your Workstation

Designed for those who want a one-stop upgrade for your USB 3.0 or USB-C laptop. The Plugable Dual 4K USB Docking Station (UD-6950H) allows you to add dual displays, using DisplayPort or HDMI, and connect your peripherals, all through a single cable back to your laptop. Quickly come and go from your desk with ease. By connecting many devices with just one cable to your laptop, you gain 12 extra ports of connectivity, making it easier to do more work in less time.

Power users with dual 4K monitors: The UD-6950H is the dock you need to maximize your productivity and your workspace. Great for business uses such as email, web applications, Microsoft office, and more. Featuring a lay-flat horizontal design, you can easily slip this dock under your monitor and save valuable desk space. Conveniently access the front USB and audio ports for those devices you plug and unplug everyday.

Note: The UD-6950H will not charge your laptop and will need your external charger to provide power to your system. Due to limited USB 3.0 bandwidth and reduced hardware graphics acceleration of the DisplayLink software and hardware used in this docking station we do not recommend it for use with full screen video playback, 2D or 3D graphics applications, or video editing software.

UD-6950H

12 Ports of Connectivity

Get your ports back with a dock that acts as a hub for all of your peripherals.

  • 2x DisplayPort++/HDMI—Connect two 4K displays at 60Hz refresh rate
  • 6x USB 3.0—Add a keyboard, mouse, thumb drive, external SSD, and more
  • 1x 3.5mm Headphone Jack—Listen to music and video chat
  • 1x 3.5mm Microphone Jack—Great for external microphones and video chat
  • 1x Gigabit Ethernet—Experience fast and reliable network speeds
  • 1x Power Switch—Turn the functionality of the dock on and off (This does not power on/off the computer, only the docking station)

UD-6950H

High-Resolution Displays

Get more screen space for more productivity. High resolution displays (both DisplayPort, not HDMI) will change the way you manage your out of control tabs and your workflow.

No more grainy visuals and tiny screens. Expand your screen real estate with this dock and cut down the time it takes to work on those highly productive tasks.

Note: To achieve 4K 60Hz each connected monitor and cable must support the desired resolution and refresh rate.

UD-6950H

Dynamic Design

Not only does this dock expand your connectivity, it also brings a whole new level of performance and flexibility.

Featuring DisplayLink graphic technology, you can connect this dock to a USB 3.0 or USB-C laptop. So whether you're hoteling at a desk for work, or sharing your dock at home, this dock provides the flexibility you need.

The vertical orientation is designed to reduce its desk footprint to give you more room for the things that matter most. With easily accessible ports on the front of the dock, you can charge your phone and unplug your headphones with ease.

UD-6950H

Compatibility

Laptop Compatibility Compatible with most laptops and desktops running Windows 11/10/8.x/7, Macs with 10.14+, and ChromeOS version 100.x or later. The box includes a USB 3.0 and USB-C cable to connect to the dock to your laptop.
Not Compatible Not compatible with: Linux/Unix; or ARM-based Windows operating systems (such as Surface RT).
Monitor Compatibility Supports two high-resolution monitors up to 4K 60Hz (3840x2160 @ 60Hz) when connected to displays that support the desired resolution. While backwards compatible it is important to note:, • DisplayPort 1.2 monitors can support upto 4K 60Hz, • DisplayPort 1.1 monitors can support upto 4K 30Hz,• HDMI 2.0 displays can support up to 4K 60Hz, • HDMI 1.4 displays can support upto 4K 30Hz
Software Compatibility DisplayLink is a flexible and versatile technology that’s great for most users’ workflow. But there are a few scenarios where it’s not the right fit such as gaming and HDCP (copy-protected) content playback from Blu-ray/Netflix/Prime/iTunes/Hulu/etc.
Power and Charging This laptop docking station does not provide power to the connected laptop or tablet—the laptop will still require a separate charger. The power button on the back of the dock is used to control the power to the docking station itself. It cannot control the power of the laptop.

Solid solution for Macs & excellent tech support
I've been using this docking station since April 2022. I bought it to be compatible with my newer M1 work MacBook Air *and* my older personal one (I just use a USB adapter to move the input cable from one machine to the next as needed, no fancy KVM switching for me), and it's worked like a charm. I run two external monitors through HDMI connections, run audio through it (old Bose speakers+sub), and use the USB ports on the device for a corded keyboard, webcam, and phone charger. I keep it bundled up in a cable net under my desk for cord management and stand my laptops up behind my monitors to clear desk space. I never need to touch the thing, so it's nice to be able to tuck it out of the way.I've never had any problem with it until a recent cable management quest. I simply unplugged it, and the monitors wouldn't work anymore through it, though the USB ports still worked and the monitors worked on their own. It was one of those cursed tech mysteries that happens to the best of us, a major bummer, and in a normal scenario might result in me docking a few stars for planned obsolescence... BUT! Plugable's tech support team was so responsive in helping me troubleshoot and quickly determined this wasn't expected behavior and proactively invoked the warranty (which I didn't even know I had, tbh) to send me a brand new pre-tested one. I plugged it in, and everything works great again.So, maybe the product isn't perfect, but the customer support was next level and I'm back in action, and those guys deserved a shoutout. Very few products are perfect, but this brand is doing "making it right" right. I'd recommend it for anyone with big desk productivity dreams on a smaller desk and smaller budget.

    I've never had any problem with it until a recent cable management quest. I simply unplugged it, and the monitors wouldn't work anymore through it, though the USB ports still worked and the monitors worked on their own. It was one of those cursed tech mysteries that happens to the best of us, a major bummer, and in a normal scenario might result in me docking a few stars for planned obsolescence... BUT! Plugable's tech support team was so responsive in helping me troubleshoot and quickly determined this wasn't expected behavior and proactively invoked the warranty (which I didn't even know I had, tbh) to send me a brand new pre-tested one. I plugged it in, and everything works great again.

    So, maybe the product isn't perfect, but the customer support was next level and I'm back in action, and those guys deserved a shoutout. Very few products are perfect, but this brand is doing "making it right" right. I'd recommend it for anyone with big desk productivity dreams on a smaller desk and smaller budget.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fixes the dumbest Mac OS limitation to let you run a second external monitor!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2025

    In the year 2024, I can't believe that Mac OS doesn't have native support for more than one connected display monitor. This solves that.

    In researching options, the Plugable DisplayLink dock seemed to be the best solution in my price point, though I'd read negative reviews warning about it not working, video lagging. or screen freezing. I'm running two 27" simple Dell monitors, 75Hz refresh rate and it's working great. I've also got my mouse, Anker PowerConf, and a bunch of other peripherals connected, and all work great together.

    One suggestion - the Quick Start instructions in the box reference downloading and installing the right DisplayLink driver and giving it permissions for screen sharing. They neglect to mention something super-important. The DisplayLink Manager is an application that you have to open/run for the magic to happen. It tricks the Macbook into recognizing the second monitor. I'd done all the other steps, missed that and thought I'd bought a lemon. However, once I hit the troubleshooting FAQs and took that simple step, everything worked perfectly.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to plug-n-play.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2018

    I'm on my 3rd USB 2.0/3.0 docking station, the 2nd I've purchased from Plugable. Previously I've also used the Targus ACP70USZ, also purchased on Amazon. As such I have been through the ringer on every conceivable issue with these multi-display USB docks and was actually quite surprised when this one worked, immediately, the first time I installed the drivers and plugged it in. Rather than one HDMI and one DVI port, this one has two sets of HDMI/Display Port connections, the HDMI and DisplayPort for each being redundant to each other (you can either use one or the other, not both). I happen to be using HDMI and it works very well so far.

    Past issues with similar docks have included poor picture quality, strange behavior on some programs (ex. Microsoft Word freezing and doing other weird stuff but only on one of the displays connected to the dock), Intel display adapter driver issues (and the difficulty in rolling back to the appropriate driver), and no picture on one or both monitors connected to the dock. None of those have been an issue with this one yet - and I will update if they occur.

    My complaints with the ud-6950H:

    1. Like many manufacturers, Plugable (or the people they purchase the standardized cables from) insist on having a huge wall wart/dongle plug for the power adapter. This means that you can either kiss one of your precious electrical outlets goodbye because this thing effectively takes up two spaces, or you have to buy a power strip that will accommodate the form factor of this plug/wart. Either way, this is friggin' 2018 people. One would think that this long-standing issue would have been engineered out of the park by now, but no! Rather than a laptop style power supply with a standard AC plug and small AC/DC converter brick (which Targus does), Plugable puts the AC/DC converter in the plug itself, wasting a lot of space at the outlet or power strip. No excuse for that.

    2. The DC cable itself (from the big plug wart to the dock) is too short for anything but a very compact layout. What would it have hurt to make the damn thing 1.5 feet longer? Adding another ferrite choke? Again, this is simply unacceptable.

    3. The shape/form factor is not ideal. Targus makes theirs so that it also functions as a mini laptop stand, which is very convenient. This thing needs its own space on your desk. Again, one of those little common sense items that Plugable seems unable to process.

    None of the three issues above will cause me to return this item, however if I find a dock from Plugable or another manufacturer which has a standard AC/DC brick and power cord/plug, a longer cord and a stand-like form factor, I will sell this one and buy that one.

    4/5 Stars here simply because it works very well and was super easy to install/configure.

    Needed to add two monitors but the Dell Laptop had only one HDMI port and only USB A connections. This docking station showed up the next day and works great. Simple to install. You will need to download and install their drivers.

    La construcción es bastante ligera. Pero que no te engañen las apariencias.
    Ni una sola vez me ah dejado de funcionar.
    Estoy usando dos monitores aparte del de mi laptop. Un headset para tomar llamadas. Un mouse y Un teclado externos.
    Y conectado via cable de ethernet.

    Todo esto, Un mínimo de 10 horas al día.
    Es excelente.

    Lo que les recomiendo es que instalen los controladores primero que nada.
    Y ya que estén instalados, primero enciendan la computadora, y LUEGO la docking station para Un mejor reconocimiento de monitores y de resoluciones.

    Una maravilla y vale cada peso.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Docking Station
    Reviewed in Canada on March 28, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    One of the best prices I have seen for this type of docking station. Quickly turned my 14" laptop into a decent functioning workstation with dual 24" 1080 monitors. I also tested this out using my dual 4k monitor setup and it too was really sharp. I like that I have the ability to use HDMI or DisplayPort connections and 4k support is totally worth it. The only thing I have yet to test is the ability to run the monitors and transfer files to/from USB connected devices. I suspect this to be more of a laptop USB type C 3.1/3.2 capability than the docking station. I do like the number of additional ports provided.
    Overall this has been one of those purchases needed to create a functional home office with multiple monitors. I would recommend this to anyone looking to put together a multi-monitor setup for any computer system.

    M1になってからモニターの対応ができなくなっていましたが、こちらの製品とディスプレイリンクを使用すればマルチディスプレイが可能になります。

    日本語の情報がやや少なく不安でしたが、ドッキングステーションとしてもUSB3.0や優先マイク入力も可能になるので、自宅オフィスの場合は持っておいて損はない製品です！
