Howdy!
We have an overstock of these brand-new docking stations. Ready to go!
Supports up to three 4K displays or a single 5K display
Four USB 3.0 ports
One USB-C port
Speaker output
Combo audio
Gigabit Ethernet
Kensington Lock Slot
Charges up to 65W laptop via USB-C
As a note, I'd recommend updating the firmware as these are new old stock.
No such thing as a good displaylink dock imho… Displaylink is a terrible pos.
Get one thats actual proper displayport and use that.
If your laptop doesn't have displayport over usb-c, chances are it doesn't have the hutzpah to drive displaylink properly either.
In a world of shit takes this has to be the shittest
I did 3 years of Covid work-from-home on an I7 gaming laptop that had plenty of CPU,but no thunderbolt,and i'm not alone. Thunderbolt is proprietary and not every manufacturer pays the licensing,this is a bargain website for a bargain price and that includes older tech that's still very relevant,and as far as Budget goes - this is one of the better Displaylink units (and i've had to test a few). Don't just dunk on people who aren't running the top tier of hardware
Nice wanted one, thanks OP
What AC adapter do they come with?
130w
These have awful latency and reliability issues versus Dell WD22TB, WD19TB, etc.
They are cheap and built to a price versus the other Dell docking stations.
No, these are Display Link docks - you need to use them when your machine cannot physically drive the external displays that you want to use.
The other docks you list are Thunderbolt docks - they're totally useless for laptops that need Display Link.
You mean laptops that have only display link but not thunderbolt.
I have Latitude 7390s and 7300s and they call come with thunderbolt. Cheaper 5300 and lower have only display link.
@netjock - no. Nom means what he said. DisplayLink is a feature of the dock, not the laptop.
Still wouldn't buy one of these.
Weird thread - there are laptops that have no choice. Display Link or nothing, if you want to drive multiple external screens.
If you have one of these machines, you will buy one of these 🤷🏼♂️
This can displaylink 2 monitors for 1 mac aiebook? I'm currently using a D3100 dock and considering upgrading to this?
Yes, I have this and tested on M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14".
With DisplayLink allows you to connect 2 external monitors in extended mode (possibly 3, but I don't have a 3rd monitor to connect in the 3rd port).
However, not sure if it was just my unit being fault, but I couldn't get power over the USB-C. Needed to separately power the MacBook. Maybe others with this unit can expand on their experience.
I ended up getting a HP Dock G2 (5TW13AA - second version). Where the displays work AND I had power over the one USB-C connection.
I have this dock and it can power 65W over the USB-C port. You need at least the 130W PSU it comes with for it to do the 65W though. And it won't do more than 65W even with a 240W PSU.
I had it with a 180w PSU. I even updated the firmware on it. Maybe I have a faulty unit.
@Warehouse: Did you try more than once? It does seem to be a bit flaky sometimes it doesn't provide power, but most of the time it does.
@stumo: I did. Even tried it with 2 windows PC's which also didn't get power over usb-c.
I even tried another D6000 dock from a refurbished reseller and had the same issue. I even mix and matched alt PSU's to check if that was the issue… In the end I gave up on it and the HP G2 dock worked from the get-go.
because the charging is only 65w and I believe you need more to power the MacBook
You can charge a laptop with a low power charger - even a phone charger - and it will recognise being charged, but warn it's happening slowly. This problem sounds different.
Gr8 price got one, cheers!
Does this work with MS surface pro 7 for dual screen?
Why not get a surface dock ?
I have to use my dell office laptop when WFS.. sorry WFH
dont recognise this WFS… :S
If it has USB-C it should work,Displaylink is mostly universal,you sacrifice CPU for extra screens if the machine(s) you have don't have DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt
Yep, but my SP7 tells me it is a ‘slow charger’. Doesn’t charge any slower than my other 100w dock though.
I bought this Surface dock and it works great, $92 refurbished.

I love these docks! Run extra 3 monitors on m1.
Anything else on clearance?)
As in M1 MacBook Pro?
Any m1. How it works for external displays: one is native (which any of m1 capable) and 2 additional are based on DisplayLink technology, basically dock gets some of CPU and programmatically creates 2 additional displays.
damn how did I not know about this. Bought for my M1 Macbook Pro. Is there a good guide on how to get it working?
@motlking: Just install the Displaylink drivers on your mac and it will start detecting the displays individually.
4k at what Hz?
according to this https://dl.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_electronics_…
unfortunately only 60Hz :(((
Does this matter ? You aren't gaming at 4K over 60fps unless you've got a serious laptop - in which case, you can probably use a Thunderbolt or USB C dock.
Some monitors as soon as you add more and more monitors, only the primary and secondary are 60hz and from there on it they revert to 30Hz.
Thats why it matters. 30Hz looks terrible scrolling a MS Word doco.
According to their specs PDF - 4K@60Hz - * If without DisplayLink driver, HDMI out will be from Alt-mode and 4K@ 30Hz.
For Dell only? or works on Lenovo Laptop?
Universal
Same question, will this work with a MS Surface Book 2 - tia
SurfaceBook 2 have USB-C, but doesn't act as a Thunderbolt port.
SB3 also never had thunderbolt.
Question along the line with this.. have a Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 6. Would this dock allow charging and drive multiple monitors by chance?
I heard work had issues with Lenovo laptops with Dell docks so thought I'd check my case..
Hot damn. The eHealth price for these are $286.
A bit off topic but any recommendations for a good (value for money) dock with dual HDMI instead of DP? Will be used for WFH and running 2 older monitors.
Get this and cheap DP to HDMI adaptor
Dual HDMI is going to be a problem. I checked back of my TB22 and it is 1x HDMI, 2x DP. You can get a cheap DP to HDMI cable from Aliexpress for like $3.
WD15s I have also 1x HDMI, 1x VGA, 1x mDP.
Thanks all - looks like 2x DP and cheap adapters is the way to go.
You can also get mDP to whatever you want cables too. Seems like Ali is good for finding stuff like that.
@Excelsior make sure you buy ACTIVE adaptors, otherwise you'll run into issues. They're $10 from Amazon - https://www.amazon.com.au/Wavlink-Display-Adapter-MacOS-Wind…
Good price and all but I wouldn't recommend this model for enterprise use or use with work-provided Dell laptops when WFH. They have a far more limited range of compatibility with Dell laptops compared to the higher-end WD19/WD22/UD22 docks, mainly due to having insufficient power delivery for a lot of higher-end Dell laptops (which means you'll need to use the laptop's AC adapter in conjunction with the dock, which defeats the purpose of it). The WD19/WD22/UD99 are what you need for best performance/compatibility with enterprise-grade Vostro, Latitude and Precision laptops as well as XPS laptops (see Dell's full docking station compatibility chart).
The D6000 does however have a pretty good range of compatibility with non-Dell devices unlike most OEM docks, as long as they're not too power hungry. A lot of Apple M1/M2/M3 users report that they work perfectly well with their MacBooks for example.
Well yeah……. they're a 10 year old USB-A/C dock, 65W is fine for most standard enterprise-level laptops. Obviously more serious laptops call for more serious docks, in terms of Dell it's really just the Precisions that would require more unless you're pushing a lot through the dock.
If not using the AC adapter with a WD dock and an XPS, be prepared to endure a HIDEOUS amount of coil whine though.
Got a new XPS 15 9530 for work and hooked it up to my WD19TBS dock and it was screeeeaming. Logged a ticket with Dell……they said it was operating within normal parameters and if I didn't want coil whine to plug in the AC adapter.
My work laptop (some HP Z book which inexplicably has a 2070 onboard) won’t charge from these. But my XPS does, despite having the same listed power requirements.
Damn. I want one. But I really have no use for it.
Good deal otherwise.

Woudl this work for a Surface Pro 7 to display on a 5120 bx 1440 monitor? Max resolution indicates 5120 x 2880 and only has a USB-C. i've tried 4k 60hz rated USBC to HDMI, USBC to Display port cables and nothing. So wonder if a dock of some sort is needed.
Funny seeing the live popups for people buying this. Looked like one selling every 5-10s. Wonder how many they over-ordered.
I wouldn't necessarily believe those tickers
Agree, they can be easily faked. In this case it seems credible though – all the purchases are for the same item, the D6000 dock. And it accurately displayed my purchase in the popup 30s after completion.
Can confirm that the ticker is live orders. It isn’t possible to fake it with our system and we have a few hundred in stock ;-)
Why did you get so many? Type an extra 0?
They probably ended up with a lot of them new but sitting in storage for a long time. Most have gone to USB C docks so this is redundant.
This is a USB C dock?
With an adapter to normal USB-A from all the pictures. Only its creator knows what is going on.
@netjock: Or someone who's used them and has one in their bottom drawer. You can either use USB-C, or plug the C port into the back of the USB-A connector.
They may have been in storage.
Fwiw, I've had 4 of these.
2 of them have failed (usb ports, display output don't work). About 4 years old.
Not sure if something has failed, like cable, capactitor, etc. Or my m1 mac shorting them out (early mac firmware had a usb-c bug). Stopped using them to provide power and use the usb-c to usb3 adaptor to turn off power delivery functions.
Will still buy more, as there are cheaper off-brand units with higher video output, but they tend to fail just as fast.
ymmv
will this work with gaming laptops like Legion 5i? I think I need about 130W to charge it unless I am wrong
You'll drain the battery slowly on anything above the 65w the dock can do
Can I link this to a ROG Ally?
Should,you'd give up some CPU cycles though - just don't use it as your primary gaming display
Works good with Apple M1 laptop
Hi! My Order #189990 went through but seems like the billing details went throgih as all "null". Is there a contact email I can reach out to get that updated? Otherwise happy for my billing details to be copied from my shipping information.
Just send a message through the website and one of the customer support team members will get back to you.
Any way of checking out as a guest or am I forced to make an account?
Might never use it. Bought it anyway.
lol that's the spirit
Buy now, cry later.
Shame it's 4k60Hz x 2 and 4k30Hz x 1 if driving three screens.
It's pretty rank when two are at 60Hz and you drag something to 30Hz
Seems like it has only 1 HDMI port.
I am looking a dock with 2 HDMI port, any suggestions??
DP to HDMI adapters are widely available for $10-20.
If you want thunderbolt to HDMI 2.1 with 4k 144hz, get one of the Cable Matters branded adapters or docks from Amazon. They have downloadable firmware to make it work and on mac too. There's very limited HDMI 2.1 ports that actually do above 4k 60.
Dell website shows the "latest firmware" as being one from 2018…If that is the "new firmware" as per OP saying this is even older stock, how OLD are these things??
https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-au/drivers/driversdetai…
I've found newer version (A04 from 2021) here:
https://www.dell.com/support/product-details/en-au/product/d…
Beat me to it. Also recommend that if you are having any compatibility issues to install the latest dock drivers and a couple of restarts. Personal experience with these and the WDs they and completely plug and play.

Already OOS? I can't add to cart
Does anyone have experience with Linux and this kind of device, I am using Debian 12.
Just ensure you've loaded the modules that support the Dell Dock and DisplayLink. Your mileage may vary as it's linux. Anything could be configured on it. I got this to work on a PC running Gentoo Linux.
I prefer the Dell WD22TB or WD19TB, but this is a great price for a D6000.
Good price for these,they are one of the best Displaylink docks
