With the wide application of cell phones, laptops, tablets, and other smart devices, there are more and more devices on the desktop needed for charging and Internet access. As a result, power cords, plugs, chargers, charging cables, network cables, etc., pile up on the desktop, which not only looks cluttered but also leads to safety hazards such as leakages and contact sparks caused by strong electricity.

From the point of view of the Internet experience, many mobile devices mostly use WiFi. However, it is not the first time to heard about the complaining for the unstable and slow wireless network in offices or public places. Is there a product that can perform high-speed and stable network but also provide a convenient way to quickly charge multiple devices at the same time and keep the desk neater?

UTEPO PoE++ to USB-C docking station is an innovative product developed to solve users' pain points of getting Internet and charging. Combining the safe low-voltage green Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology and the popular USB-C technology, it supports Gigabit wired Internet access and PD 65W fast charging, bringing users a different Internet charging experience.

UTEPO PoE++ to USB-C docking station unboxing

You can find following items in the package, 1*UTEPO PoE++ to USB-C Docking Station, 1 pair of hanger, 1*white USB-C cable, 1*instruction, 1*warranty card, 1*QC card.

As the product is plug-and-play and convenient to operate, there is no need for too many additional accessories. Just through a cable, the device provides Internet and power to terminals.

Compact size

The product’s appearance is small and does not take up space if placing on the desktop. The body size is 114mm * 82mm * 25mm, much smaller than a 6.6-inch cell phone. The net weight of the device is 265g, very light in the hand.

The housing is made of aluminum alloy with frosted design, one-piece molding and baking process with a textured touching feel.

Comprehensive connectivity and strong compitibility

4 IN 1 design, UTEPO PoE++ to USB-C docking station provides one PoE++ 90W Gigabit RJ-45 input port, one Gigabit RJ-45 output port (connect to printer, PC, IP phone, etc.), one USB-C port (support quick charge and 10/100/1000Mbps network), one USB-C port (support quick charge), and one USB-A port (support quick charge).

More stable and faster connections.

Adhering to the low-carbon concept, UTEPO PoE++ to USB-C docking station integrates PoE++ technology. With PoE++ 90W power input from 90W BT PoE switch or injector, it can supply DC 41.1~57V output and provide the quick charge at 65W max. With this product, you don't have to install an additional AC outlet or power strip for your terminals. Thus, it reduces the cable installation and improves safety.

Connection

For this test, we chose the 90W PoE injector. Of course, if you’ve already had 90W BT PoE switches in your network, you can make the connection with the UTEPO PoE++ to USB-C docking station directly.

Connect the PoE injector to the network and power marked RJ-45 port of the docking station through one network cable. The indicator light above the network port is on, which indicates that the power and network are connected. Then you can charge your cell phone, laptop, tablet, etc., through the USB-C or USB-A port on the other side of the product.

UTEPO PoE++ to USB-C docking station is compatible with the mainstream brands or models on the market of cell phones, tablets, and laptops. It also can be plug and play. Let's connect the device for testing.

Internet access testing of laptops

Connect the laptop to the USB-C port (quick charge and Gigabit network) of the UTEPO docking station with a USB-C cable. If the network icon appears, it indicates the successful network connection.

Next, we tested the speed of the laptop to open web pages and videos. You can feel that no browsing on the web or open the website video, the speed is very fast, almost milliseconds.

Internet access testing of cell phones

Connect the cell phone to the USB-C port (quick charge and Gigabit network) of the UTEPO docking station with a USB-C cable.

If the double arrow symbol and lighting symbol appear, it indicates the successful network and charging connection.

The same way to test the speed of opening web pages on the phone. Open the web page without delay, no lag, very smooth.

Testing of quick charge

All the USB ports of the UTEPO docking station support quick charge. You can charge your devices at the same time. One device solves the problem of charging multiple devices and accessing the Internet. With no need to deploy chargers and charging cables, the previously cluttered desktop becomes much neater.

It should be noted that the total charging power of the sproduct is 65W, charging in single-port, 2-port and 3-port mode, the power allocation for each terminal is different. For details, please refer to the product datasheet.

The following test data is from UTEPO R&D lab:

Internet testing of RJ-45 output port

Except for three USB ports, the product also provides one Gigabit RJ-45 output port, which provides the network to IP phones, printers, PCs, etc. We connected one IP phone to this RJ-45 port through the network cable. The green light on the IP phone is solid ON. And the IP phone works.

Third party professional testing

The above is just a simple test of the Internet access and charging functions of the UTEPO PoE++ to USB-C docking station from the view of users. To ensure its excellent performance and meet the design specifications, the product has undergone a comprehensive and rigorous test by a third-party testing laboratory before its launch.

Test items include

Network forwarding performance

Power integrity

USB interface protocol, compatibility, output power

Internet access of USB-C port

Port hot-swapping

High and low temperature

Temperature rise

Surge static immunity

...

All the above tests passed.

UPD3303-PDD-PQ65 is a PoE++ to USB-C docking station, which is fully compatible with USB Type-C and Type-A laptops and mobile devices. Combining with PoE features (support 90W PoE++ input), it transmits both network and power via a single cable, reducing wiring and offer a safe low voltage by building a small desktop digital base station. And it makes the desktop neater, internet connection and charging easier.

The docking station enriches the Ethernet port to extra two quick-charge USB-C ports (one port supports a gigabit network) and one USB-A port, thus, you can charge your devices when using them, meanwhile, enjoying a stable and high interference-resistant wired network connection, which makes it ideal for entertainment, video conference, home office, smart education, etc.
