Orico Type-C Docking Station Power Distribution 100W - HDMI, Type-C x 1, USB3.0 x 2, USB 2.0 x 1, LAN 1000Mbps Gigabit, VGA - PW11-8PC-GY-EP

Orico PW11-8PC-GY-EP is a compact Type-C docking station that turns one USB-C port on your laptop into a full-fledged hub for peripherals and networking. It positions itself as a practical mid-range solution for work, office, and mobile setups where you want more ports without dragging half a desk of cables. It supports power up to 100W, allowing you to charge your laptop through it while using the other connections. The built-in HDMI and VGA outputs give you flexibility for external monitors – from modern displays to older equipment in offices and conference rooms.

What you get

With this docking station, you effectively add a whole “back panel” to a thin laptop through just one USB-C cable. The two USB3.0 ports are suitable for faster devices like external SSDs, flash drives, and webcams, while the USB 2.0 port is practical for a mouse, keyboard, or other less demanding peripherals. Through the LAN 1000Mbps Gigabit socket, you get a stable wired connection to the network – useful if the Wi-Fi at the location is weak or you simply want minimal latency. With HDMI and VGA, you can connect a projector in a room and simultaneously have a monitor on your desk without searching for adapters. And with up to 100W power distribution, you can charge more demanding laptops while data flows through the same port to all connected devices.

• The docking station uses a Type-C connection, making it compatible with a large number of modern laptops, tablets, and some phones.
• Support for power distribution up to 100W allows you to transmit both data and power to the laptop through one cable.
• It features 2 x USB3.0 ports for higher speeds with external drives, flash memory, and other fast devices.
• The additional USB 2.0 port is convenient for a mouse, keyboard, or printer, without “spending” the fast ports on slow peripherals.
• Through HDMI, you can connect a modern monitor or TV for work, movies, or presentations.
• The VGA output allows connection to older monitors and projectors, which are often found in offices and classrooms.
• The built-in LAN 1000Mbps Gigabit network card provides stable and fast wired internet for lower ping and fewer interruptions.

Who it is suitable for

This docking station is suitable if you use a thin laptop with few ports and want to turn it into a more convenient “desktop” machine at home or in the office. It is useful for people who frequently move between different work locations and rooms with HDMI and VGA equipment. If you are looking for a solution for very high-speed professional disk arrays or need specific video outputs, you may find that more exotic interfaces are lacking here.

The most sensible aspect of this model is the combination of 100W power, Gigabit LAN, and HDMI/VGA in one compact device that solves almost all daily “cable” needs with just one USB-C port.
