Your Desk Upgrade: 13 Ports for Maximum Productivity
No more constantly plugging and unplugging cables and running out of ports. The Cudy CS700 transforms a single USB-C port on your laptop into an impressive command center with 13 ports. Connect monitors, external hard drives, Network, headphones, and charge your device simultaneously. From four video outputs (2x HDMI, 2x DP) to six lightning-fast 10 Gbps USB ports and a stable Gigabit LAN connection – this docking station is the answer to all connectivity needs and ensures a tidy, highly efficient workspace.
Brilliant Dual 4K Power – Also for your MacBook Air
Do you work with a MacBook Air or Pro with an M1, M2, or M3 chip and are annoyed by the restriction to only one external monitor? The CS700 is your solution. Thanks to the integrated DisplayLink DL-6950-N chipset, it elegantly bypasses this hardware limitation and allows you to operate two external 4K displays at buttery-smooth 60 Hz in extended mode. Experience true multi-tasking and boost your productivity, whether you're writing code, designing, or editing complex spreadsheets.
Full Power Ahead: 100W Power Delivery & 10 Gbps Data Transfer
This docking station is not just a port multiplier, but also a powerhouse. As a laptop docking station with 100W Power Delivery, it reliably supplies your notebook with up to 100 watts of charging power – enough to operate even high-end devices under full load and charge them quickly. At the same time, all six USB downstream ports (4x USB-A, 2x USB-C) guarantee a constant data transfer rate of 10 Gbps. This means your backups to external SSDs are completed in seconds.
Masterful Craftsmanship: CNC-Milled Aluminum Unibody
Good technology deserves a first-class casing. The housing of the Cudy CS700 is precisely CNC-milled from a single block of aircraft-grade aluminum. The result is an extremely stable and torsion-resistant unibody design without unsightly seams. The matte, sandblasted, and anodized surface in silver-gray not only feels high-quality but is also resistant to scratches and fingerprints. With a height of only 15.5 mm, it integrates flat and elegantly into any desk setup.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the Cudy CS700 power two 4K monitors with a MacBook Air M1/M2/M3?
Yes, absolutely. Thanks to the integrated DisplayLink DL-6950-N chipset, the CS700 bypasses the Apple M-chip limitation of only one external monitor, allowing the connection of two external 4K displays at 60 Hz in extended mode.
Do I need to install drivers for the docking station?
That depends on your operating system. On Windows 10/11 and ChromeOS, drivers are usually installed automatically. For macOS, older Windows versions, and Linux, manual installation of the DisplayLink driver is required.
How much charging power does the docking station provide to my laptop?
The CS700 delivers up to 100 watts to the connected host device via the upstream USB-C port. This is sufficient to charge most high-performance laptops like the MacBook Pro or Dell XPS under full load.
Does the docking station support 5K resolution?
Yes, the CS700 can drive a single 5K monitor (5120x2880) at 60 Hz. However, both DisplayPort outputs of the docking station must be connected to a compatible 5K monitor for this.
Are the USB ports fast enough for external SSDs?
Yes. All six USB downstream ports (two USB-C and four USB-A) support the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard and offer data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps, ideal for high-speed SSDs.
What material is the casing made of?
The casing is a unibody design, precisely CNC-milled from a single block of aluminum. It has a matte, sandblasted, and anodized finish, making it very robust and resistant to scratches.
