Plugable has debuted a new [USB-C docking station](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubkey-gen2) called the ‘USBC-6950PDZ,’ and it has all the ports required for charging in a conveniently tiny form. The device contains dual 3K60Hz HDMI ports, the capacity for two extended displays, and more features like a USB-A port and an SD Card Reader.

"Most [dual display docking stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multidisplay-computer-peripheral) require a separate, bulky power supply. One reason the USBC-6950PDZ is so travel-ready, is that it doesn’t. Instead, it can get its power in one of two ways: directly from the host computer, or from pass-through charging, [...]” said the company in a statement.

 The Plugable ‘USBC-6950PDZ USB-C Dual HDMI Mini Docking Station’ is available online at [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thunderbolt-4-quad-docking) for $129.
