Introduction - 3
The new Acer USB Type-C Dock III is designed for extra connectivity demands and supports DP 1.4 output. With this docking station, you can extend the connection of a computer to more USB peripherals, an ethernet network, speakers and a microphone via USB-C. The USB Type-C plug is reversible and fits either way. By adopting PD charging to allow upstream charging over USB-C, you can charge the host up to 85W with a 100W or higher power adapter, or automatically adjust to lower charging with a smaller power adapter. With the built-in USB 3.1 ports, the docking station allows you to enjoy super high-speed data transmission between USB peripherals.
