Anker 575 USB-C docking station
Our verdict: A useful desk-dock candidate when you need several kinds of ports, provided your laptop's USB-C port supports the required video mode.
Trade-off: Anker requires USB-C Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode; a USB-C-shaped connector alone does not establish compatibility.
Anker 575 USB-C docking station Review
Consider the Anker 575 A8392 for a desk with wired networking, memory cards and external monitors.
Specifications and features
| Host charging | Up to 85W through the upstream USB-C port |
|---|---|
| Video connectors | Two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort |
| Networking | 1Gbps Ethernet |
| Other connections | USB-A, USB-C data, SD, microSD and 3.5mm audio |
Match the dock to the laptop first and count sockets second. A dock can have enough display connectors yet still fail to deliver the arrangement you expect on a particular computer. We read Anker's A8392 compatibility and port listing for this assessment; no multi-monitor setup was tested.
Pros and cons
Reasons to consider it
- Networking and card readers can share one desk connection.
- Several display connectors provide flexibility in monitor cabling.
Reasons to pause
- Display behavior depends on the host laptop and operating system.
- The 85W host limit may be below a powerful laptop's charging requirement.
Before choosing a listing
Before buying, compare your computer's display capabilities and power requirement with Anker's manual. On a used listing, check that the correct power adapter and host cable are supplied, rather than budgeting from the dock-only photograph.
