FAQs

What Microsoft Surface devices is this docking station compatible with?
The U442-DOCK14-MS docking station is specifically designed to clamp onto Surface GO, Surface GO 2, Surface GO 3, Surface Pro 7, Surface Pro 8, and Surface Pro X models up to 12 inches wide. While it can functionally work with any Surface device that has a USB-C port, the clamping mechanism is only compatible with these specific models. The dock provides full functionality including 4K video output, USB connectivity, and 100W Power Delivery charging for all compatible Surface devices.
What video output capabilities does this docking station offer?
The docking station features HDMI 2.0 output supporting Ultra HD resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (4K) at 30 Hz. It's HDCP 2.3 compliant, enabling smooth streaming of 4K content from services like Amazon and Netflix. The dock also supports lower resolutions including 1920 x 1200 and 1280 x 720. For additional display flexibility, it can connect to DVI displays using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter (sold separately).
What USB ports are available on this docking station?
The docking station features a total of 4 USB ports: 2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports supporting up to 10 Gbps data transfer, 1 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port also supporting 10 Gbps, and 1 USB 2.0 Type-A port for legacy devices. All ports are backward compatible with previous USB generations, making them versatile for connecting various peripherals like keyboards, mice, flash drives, and RAID storage devices.
What are the charging capabilities of this docking station?
The docking station features a USB-C Power Delivery port that supports power output up to 100W (20V 5A). This power capacity is more than sufficient for charging and powering any connected Surface device. Users can connect their Surface's original wall charger to the dock's USB-C PD port, which then delivers power to the Surface device while simultaneously supporting all other dock functions.
What networking capabilities does this docking station provide?
The docking station includes a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port that provides access to wired networks with true 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds. This feature is particularly valuable when Wi-Fi is unavailable or when faster, more stable wired connections are preferred. Users can connect to the network using a standard UTP cable (sold separately) for reliable, high-speed data transfers.
