Overview
- The Simplecom CHT815 is a comprehensive docking solution for modern USB-C equipped laptops and ultrabooks. It consolidates 15 connection points into a single aluminium dock, eliminating cable clutter while enabling professional multi-display setups.
With support for three extended 4K displays simultaneously (on compatible laptops with DP 1.4 GPUs), the CHT815 delivers productivity gains for creative and technical work. The dual HDMI and DisplayPort outputs provide flexibility across different monitor types, whilst MST (Multi-Stream Transport) technology manages bandwidth efficiently.
Power users benefit from a balanced port selection: high-speed USB 10Gbps ports for storage devices, legacy USB 3.0 compatibility, Gigabit Ethernet for stable network access, and SD card reader functionality. The 100W Power Delivery capability charges most modern laptops whilst the dock is actively used, reducing desk cable count further.
Build quality is solid with an aluminium chassis and included vertical stand, designed for professional office environments. Includes USB4 cable and vertical stand in the box.

FAQs
Does the CHT815 support three displays simultaneously?
Yes, but only on laptops with DisplayPort 1.4 GPU and DisplayPort Stream Compression (DSC) support. Laptops with DP 1.2 GPUs are limited to two extended displays. All three outputs can run 4K@60Hz on compatible hardware.
Will this dock work with my Mac?
Yes, the CHT815 works with Macs via USB-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode. However, macOS does not support MST (Multi-Stream Transport) technology, so you can only use one extended display output, not three simultaneously.
Can this dock charge my laptop?
Yes. The CHT815 provides up to 100W Power Delivery via its dedicated USB-C PD port, sufficient to charge most modern laptops and ultrabooks whilst the dock is in use.
What USB speeds are supported?
The dock offers mixed-speed USB ports: 2x USB 480Mbps (standard USB 2.0 speed), 1x USB 5Gbps (USB 3.0), 2x USB 10Gbps (USB 3.1), plus an additional 1x USB-C 5Gbps and 1x USB-C 10Gbps data port.
Do I need to confirm compatibility before purchasing?
Yes. Your device must have a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) for video output. Some USB-C ports only support charging or data transfer without video functionality. Check your device specifications or manual before ordering.
Is an external power adapter required?
No external adapter is strictly required, but Simplecom recommends connecting a PD power adaptor to the USB-C PD port for a more stable connection when using multiple high-bandwidth devices simultaneously.
What video resolutions can the HDMI and DisplayPort outputs achieve?
Both the HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs support up to 4K@60Hz (3840x2160) resolution, depending on your laptop's GPU capabilities.
