Anker’s new Prime Docking Station (14-in-1, Dual Display, 160W) now available
The Anker Prime Charging Docking Station (14-in-1, Dual Display, 160W) has been launched in countries worldwide. Rumors about the new desktop accessory began earlier this year, with further information leaking in July.
The 14-in-1 docking station can charge four devices simultaneously via two PowerIQ 3.0 100W USB-C ports and one 12W USB-A port. However, the maximum total output is capped at 160W. The remaining 11 ports are for data transfers, including two USB-C and one USB-A port with a data transfer rate of 10 Gbps. Three further USB-A ports offer 480 Mbps, and you can connect dual 4K@60Hz displays via a pair of HDMI 2.0. While the dock is compatible with Windows and macOS devices, Multi-Stream Transport is not supported for macOS, meaning the same content is displayed on both monitors. Also included are a Gigabit Ethernet port, an audio jack, a USB-C upstream port and an LED indicator. At the front of the device is a display showing output power, interface status and error warnings.
Other features include ActiveShield temperature monitoring, an airflow system, and compatibility with the Dock Manager app on your computer. You can now buy the Anker Prime Charging Docking Station (14-in-1, Dual Display, 160W) for $249.99/£199.99/€199.99. The product is covered by a 24-month warranty and comes with a 3.3 ft (~1 m) 100W 10Gbps USB-C cable to connect to the host device.
