INTRODUCTION
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.
