The WAVLINK UMD05 is a USB-C docking station that turns one laptop port into 13 connections. It is aimed at desks where a laptop drives two or three monitors and also needs wired internet, USB devices and charging through a single cable.

Ports on offer

WAVLINK lists two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort, three USB 3.0 Type-A ports, a fourth USB 3.0 port with BC 1.2 fast charging, a gigabit Ethernet port, SD and microSD slots and a headphone and microphone jack. USB 3.0 runs at up to 5Gbps, and the card slots accept cards up to 2TB, according to the brand.

How many screens, and at what resolution

Display limits depend on your laptop's DisplayPort version. WAVLINK states these figures:

  • With HBR3 DP 1.4: one display up to 3840x2160 at 60Hz, two up to 2560x1440 at 60Hz, three up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz.
  • With HBR3 DP 1.2: one display up to 3840x2160 at 30Hz (or 2560x1440 at 60Hz), two up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz, three up to 1600x900 at 60Hz.

In plain terms, the more screens you add, the lower the resolution each one can run at, because they share one video link.

Windows and Mac differences

WAVLINK says Windows supports both MST and SST modes and triple displays. On macOS, it says only mirror and non-mirror modes are available, without a triple display, and that Intel, M1 and M2 Macs extend only one monitor, with additional monitors showing the same content. This is a general limit of MST docks on Macs, so Mac users should read this carefully.

Charging your laptop

The dock has a 100W PD 3.0 pass-through charging port and a 130W power adapter, and WAVLINK says it delivers up to 65W to the laptop while it handles data and video. Check the wattage printed on your laptop's charger. A laptop that needs more than 65W may charge slowly or not at all under load.

Compatibility

WAVLINK states the dock needs a USB-C port with full USB 3.1 Gen 2 data, USB Power Delivery and video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode). Not every USB-C port offers video. The listing gives a 30-day money-back window and 12 months of customer service.

What to check before you buy

  • That your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery.
  • Your operating system, especially if you use a Mac and want more than one extended screen.
  • Which resolution and refresh rate you want on each monitor, against the figures above.
  • The cables each monitor needs, since the dock gives HDMI and DisplayPort only.
  • Desk space for the dock and its power adapter.

The short version

  • A 13-in-1 USB-C dock with two HDMI ports, DisplayPort, gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 and card slots.
  • Supports up to three displays on Windows, depending on DisplayPort version.
  • On Macs, WAVLINK says extended triple display isn't supported.
  • Passes up to 65W to the laptop.
  • Needs a USB-C port with video output.
