UGREEN 15600 9-in-1 USB-C Multifunction Docking Station (CM498)
The UGREEN 15600 docking station expands a single USB-C port into nine simultaneous connections — 4K HDMI display output, 1080p VGA output, Gigabit Ethernet, three USB-A 3.0 data ports, SD and Micro SD card reading, and 100W pass-through charging — all through one compact aluminium adapter. It targets laptop and tablet users who need both modern HDMI and legacy VGA display connectivity alongside wired networking and card reading, without carrying multiple single-function adapters. Furthermore, the simultaneous HDMI and VGA capability makes it practical for environments that combine new monitors with older projectors or display panels — a common scenario in offices, classrooms, and training facilities.

Use Cases and Applications
Offices and Classrooms with Mixed Display Equipment
Many meeting rooms and teaching spaces combine a modern HDMI display with a legacy VGA projector. The UGREEN 15600 connects to both simultaneously — the HDMI port drives an HD or 4K monitor at the front of the room while the VGA port feeds the projector at 1080p. Furthermore, three USB-A ports handle a wireless presenter, a USB drive for materials, and a mouse, without displacing the Ethernet connection that keeps the presenter’s laptop on the wired network throughout.
Remote Work and Mobile Office Setups
Professionals working from hotels, co-working spaces, or client sites frequently encounter variable display and network conditions. The 15600 covers the most common port requirements in one unit — wired Ethernet for a stable connection, HDMI for an external display, and three USB-A ports for peripherals — while the 100W PD port keeps the laptop charged from a single wall adapter. Consequently, two cables replace what would otherwise be four or five separate adapters.
Photography and Media Ingest
Photographers importing from a camera SD card and a drone Micro SD card simultaneously save time by inserting both cards at once into the independent slots, transferring at approximately 104 MB/s each. An external hard drive on one of the USB-A 3.0 ports receives incoming files at up to 5 Gbps in parallel. Additionally, the HDMI output connects to a reference monitor for on-location review without removing the hub from the workflow.
Travel and Portable Workstations
At 248 g packaged with a 15 cm integrated cable, the 15600 fits easily into a laptop bag side pocket. It replaces a VGA adapter, an HDMI dongle, an Ethernet adapter, and a card reader in one unit — reducing both the number of items to pack and the number of USB-C ports consumed on the host device.
