TroubleshootingGuideforKensingtonSD4500andSD4600P

USB‐CDockingStations



NotallUSB‐Cdevicesarecreatedequal.WhilethenewUSB‐Cportsarevery

convenient,eachmanufacturercansetupeachmodeltosupportdifferentlevelsof

data,videoandpower.Assuch,compatibilitywithproductivityaccessorieslikethe

KensingtonSD4500andSD4600Pdockscanvary.



USB‐Cisanewtechnologyand,unfortunately,it’salsoacomplicatedtechnology.

Shoppersneedtomakeinformedchoicestoensuretheaccessorytheybuyis

compatiblewiththeirhostdevice,andcan’tassumethateveryaccessorywillwork

seamlessly.Whenthehostdevice’sUSB‐Ccapabilitiesarefullycompatiblewithour

dockingstationfeaturesandallsoftwareonyourhostdevicehavebeenupdated,

theperformanceshouldbenearlyflawless.



IfyouhavequestionsaboutUSB‐C,pleasetakealookatthefollowingFrequently

AskedQuestions(FAQ’s).



ThingstoKnowBeforeYouBuy/CommonIssues

YourlaptopordevicemusthaveaUSB‐Cport.(UsinganadapteronaUSB3.0



Problem:

ThedatatransferspeedisverysloworhasbeendowngradedtoUSB2.0speeds.



PossibleSolution:

USBportscanbedowngradedtoUSB2.0speedsiftheUSB‐Ccablewasconnected

beforethevideocables/USBaccessorieswereconnected.TheUSB‐Ccablemustbe

connectedlast.Pleasefollowthesestepstoresolvetheissue:



1. Unplugthepowerfromthedock

2. UnplugalltheUSB,Ethernet,Video&Audiocables

3. Re‐plugpowertothedock
