Asus debuts 11-port USB-C docking station with triple-display output and 100W charging

Asus has just unveiled the Adol HC112, a compact 11-in-1 USB-C dock aimed at users who want expanded connectivity without sacrificing portability. Built from aluminum alloy, which helps to dissipate heat during prolonged use, it measures 116 x 48 x 15 mm and weighs just 81 grams. A braided USB-C cable adds durability and holds up better over time than the typical rubber-coated variety.

The HC112 offers a wide range of connectivity options, including three USB-A 3.2 ports, one USB-C 3.2 port with data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps, Gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD card readers, and a 3.5mm audio jack. On the display side, the dock supports up to three external monitors via HDMI and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs.

A 100W USB-C Power Delivery port allows to users charge a connected laptop while using every other port at once. The dock is plug-and-play, requiring no drivers, and works across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPadOS devices with a full-fledged USB-C port.

The Asus Adol HC112 is currently available in China for around 329 yuan (around US$48). There has been no announcement of a global or regional launch from Asus, and the product is part of the Adol lineup, a sub-brand that is typically marketed in China. Those looking for a similar alternative are advised to take a look at Ugreen's Revodok Pro 11-in-1, which is almost identical to the Asus Adol HC112 in build, feature set and price.
