DisplayLink® technology: extended monitor view for MacOS and Windows computers
The AC7160 docking station features DisplayLink® technology. The desktop of your device can be extended to two additional screens. This gives you a total of 3 monitor views (1x laptop, 2x monitor). This technology works with any Windows or MacOS computer that supports USB-C.

The DisplayLink® technology provides a stable docking station solution for extending your laptop by using a dedicated chipset.

Charge your laptop with max. 96W from the docking station
The docking station is supplied with a 135W power supply. This power supply powers the docking station itself and can charge the connected laptop with max. 96W. You don’t need to connect an additional charger for your laptop. The laptop is charged via the USB-C connection cable. The laptop must be equipped with a USB-C port that supports charging via USB-C.

When connected to a USB-A port instead of a USB-C port
The AC7160 can also be used with USB-A laptops via the supplied USB-C to USB-A adapter. You can still extend your displays and use most other features. Drivers may need to be installed if the docking station is connected to older laptops via the USB-A port. The USB-C port’s 20W power delivery will continue to work. However, the data transfer speed of the USB-C port will be limited to the speed of the laptop’s USB port.

Please note that when using the docking station with a USB-A laptop, the Power Delivery passthrough feature is disabled. In this case the laptop will require an additional power supply.

Additional features
The power button turns the docking station and all peripherals on or off at the same time. The USB-A ports are all USB 3.2 Gen1 data ports with a maximum throughput speed of 5Gbps for connecting peripherals. The USB-C port is a USB 3.2 Gen2 port with 10Gbps throughput and provides 20W of fast charging power for your smartphone or tablet. You can also connect a microphone and headphones to the dedicated 3.5mm audio ports. The AC7160 can also be used with USB-A laptops via the included USB-A to USB-C adapter. Please note that when using the docking station with a USB-A laptop, Power Delivery passthrough is disabled. In this case, the laptop will require an additional power supply.

User scenarios
