Overview
- The Simplecom CHT590 transforms a single USB-C port into nine separate connectivity points, addressing the common constraint of modern slim laptops with minimal ports. It supports simultaneous connections to displays, storage devices, peripherals, and network infrastructure without requiring separate hubs.
Designed for professionals who alternate between office and remote work, the CHT590 combines 4K video output, high-speed data transfer, network connectivity, and laptop charging in a single compact device. The 100W Power Delivery capability ensures laptops remain charged during use, eliminating the need for separate power adapters when docked.
The aluminium housing and integrated cable provide durability and convenience for daily use and travel. Plug-and-play compatibility with Windows 10 and later, macOS 10.12 and later, and any device with a USB-C port supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode ensures broad compatibility across modern laptops.

FAQs
Will the CHT590 work with my laptop?
The CHT590 requires a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) support. Most modern laptops (Windows 10+, macOS 10.12+) with Thunderbolt USB-C or USB4 ports support this. Check your laptop's specifications to confirm DP Alt Mode compatibility, as some USB-C ports are charging or data-only without video output.
Can I charge my laptop while using the docking station?
Yes. The CHT590 features a dedicated USB-C Power Delivery port that supports up to 100W charging, allowing you to charge your laptop simultaneously while using connected peripherals. Note that the PD port is for charging only and does not transfer data.
What resolution and refresh rate does the HDMI port support?
The HDMI 2.0 port supports up to 4K resolution (3840 x 2160p) at 60Hz. Laptops with GPU DP1.4 (Intel 11th Gen Core Mobile Processors or later) achieve full 4K@60Hz; earlier GPU models with DP1.2 support 4K@30Hz.
Do I need to install drivers?
No. The CHT590 is plug-and-play and requires no driver software installation on Windows 10+, macOS 10.12+, or compatible operating systems.
How fast are the USB data transfer speeds?
The three USB-A ports and one USB-C port all support SuperSpeed at 5Gbps, providing fast synchronisation of files and external storage devices. The card reader also operates at 5Gbps for quick media transfers.
Is the cable detachable?
The CHT590 features an integrated 19cm USB-C cable that is built-in to the docking station and not detachable. This design reduces cable clutter and ensures the cable is always available.
Can I use the CHT590 with both wired network and wireless devices simultaneously?
Yes. The Gigabit Ethernet port operates independently from all other ports, so you can use wired network connectivity alongside USB devices, display output, and charging without conflicts.
