Risoluzione

The Dell Docking Station WD15 is a device that links all your electronic devices to your PC using a USB-C cable interface. Connecting the PC to the docking station allows you to access all peripherals (mouse, keyboard, stereo speakers, external hard drive, and large-screen displays) without having to plug each one into the PC.

 
Note: The Dell Docking Station WD15 only works with DisplayPort over USB-C or Thunderbolt protocols and is not compatible with all USB-C ports.
 
Note: PCs that require more than 130 W power input must also be connected to their own power adapter for charging and operating at full performance.
