Anker 's PowerExpand Elite 13-in-1 dock turns a simple Thunderbolt 3 port into any port you want, and it's perfect for Mac and Windows .
It's a fact that modern systems are being built with fewer and fewer ports, and this will certainly be a problem for many. While it may serve many users, it sometimes makes life difficult for experts who need to connect many accessories and peripherals to their system.
Anker's PowerExpand Elite 13-in-1 dock is the solution for those struggling with the few ports on today's laptops and PCs, a professional-grade desktop dock that can support a large number of peripherals, with multiple ports on both sides.
Front part
- SD Card (SD 4.0 UHS-II)
- microSD Card Slot (SD 4.0 UHS-II)
- Audio In & Out
- USB-A port (5Gbps, 5V/1.5A)
- USB-C port (10Gbps, 5V/0.9A)
- USB-C (10 Gbps, 5V/3A or 9V/2A)
Back
- Thunderbolt 3 Downstream port (40Gbps, 15W)
- Thunderbolt 3 Upstream port (40Gbps, 85W)
- USB-A port (5Gbps, 5V/0.9A)
- HDMI 2.0
- Gigabit Ethernet
- DC-IN (20V/9A)
The PowerExpand Elite's dual Thunderbolt 3 ports support data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps, which translates to transferring a 20GB in just 6 seconds. On the charging side, the 85W Thunderbolt 3 has enough power to fully charge a 13-inch MacBook Pro in 2 hours. The separate 18W USB-C port can charge an iPhone 11 in 1.75 hours.
It is also suitable for those of you who want to combine multiple displays in your system. The Thunderbolt 3 and HDMI ports allow you to connect 2 displays at the same time. If that is not enough, via a USB-C to HDMI splitter, Thunderbolt 3 can support two 4K 60Hz displays, and you can have a total of 3 displays connected. The latter is of course not included in the Anker PowerExpand Elite package and you will have to purchase it separately.
Additionally, there is a 3.5mm headphone port, offering full 48 kHz/16-bit transmission.
Anker's dock comes with a 180W power cable, while the Thunderbolt 3 cable reaches 2.3 feet.
Equally important is its excellent quality, as it is very durable, well-built, and all the ports seem very solid. However, if something goes wrong, Anker provides an 18-month warranty.
