Information provided by our tech department
The host USB-C port of the machine to which the device is connected must natively support video display (DP-ALT Mode compatibility). .
Perfectly satisfactory device for connectivity and even aesthetics. However, one downside: the cable connecting this hub to the computer... really short! I don’t regret this purchase for all that. (And besides, many hubs have the same flaw).

Works very well!
I was worried at first about docking stations because some of them don't support multiple screens, but this one works very well.
Make sure you have a computer with a Thunderbolt port if you want to take advantage of all the connectivity options!

Does the job despite a few minor problems
I've used it to connect my laptop when I'm working from home without having to plug everything back in every time. I've got keyboard/mouse/webcam/network/sound and dual displays with just one USB-C plug. However, after a year, it gave up the ghost without warning between noon and two. Standard exchange by LDLC, always top-notch in terms of after-sales service. There are still a few minor issues when the dock comes out of standby, such as having to unplug the adapter and plug it back in again to restart the dock, but this only happens occasionally.

Good but
Very practical product.
Two complaints: the cable is very short and there's nothing to screw in the VGA cable, so there are false contacts when you use it.
