Overview
- The Simplecom CHT814 is a comprehensive 14-in-1 docking solution that transforms a single USB-C port into a fully featured workspace hub. By supporting up to three external displays at 4K resolution, the CHT814 eliminates the productivity constraints of laptop-only screens, enabling seamless multitasking and enhanced workflow efficiency.
With six USB data ports, Gigabit Ethernet, dual card reader slots, and 100W Power Delivery charging, the CHT814 consolidates multiple peripherals and connectivity needs into one compact device. This significantly reduces desk clutter and cable management overhead for office and remote work environments.
The docking station employs Multi-Stream Transport (MST) technology to support extended or mirrored display modes across three monitors. It requires a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alternate Mode support and is compatible with Windows 10 and later, as well as macOS 10.12 and later (note: macOS supports single extended output only).
Its premium aluminium casing provides durability and heat dissipation in a portable form factor, making it ideal for mobile professionals who need flexible connectivity without compromising on performance or build quality.

FAQs
Does the CHT814 require driver installation?
No. The CHT814 is plug-and-play and requires no drivers or software installation on Windows 10+ or macOS 10.12+.
Can the CHT814 support three 4K displays simultaneously?
Yes, provided your laptop GPU supports DP 1.4 or higher with Display Stream Compression (DSC). Laptops with DP 1.2 support two extended 4K displays only.
Does the USB-C PD port support data transfer?
No. The USB-C Power Delivery port is for charging only. Data transfer is handled via the two separate USB-C data ports.
Is the CHT814 compatible with macOS?
Yes, it is compatible with macOS 10.12 or later. However, macOS does not support MST technology, so it will only support one extended display output. The other display features remain fully functional.
What USB-C specifications does my laptop need for this docking station?
Your laptop must have a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) support. Some USB-C ports support only charging or data and do not support video output; please verify your device specification before purchase.
Can I charge my laptop and use peripherals at the same time?
Yes. The 100W Power Delivery port supplies power to your laptop while the separate USB-A and USB-C data ports remain available for peripherals and accessories.
What display resolutions are supported?
Both HDMI and DisplayPort outputs support up to 4K@60Hz (3840x2160). The specific resolution capability depends on your laptop GPU and DP version (DP 1.2 for 2 displays, DP 1.4 for 3 displays at 4K).
Can I use the card reader slots simultaneously?
Yes. The dual SD/microSD card reader supports simultaneous access to both slots at 5Gbps each, allowing you to transfer files from two cards at the same time.
