Targus DOCK423 Compatibility Application Note
Overview
This application note documents the platform-dependent features and
performance supported by the Targus DOCK423 Dual HDMI 4K Docking Station with
100W Power Delivery Pass-Thru.

function when plugged into any compatible USB-C Alternate Mode (Alt. Mode) host
receptacle (including Thunderbolt).
Supported platforms include Windows PC, MacBook, iPad Pro, Linux PC, Samsung
DeX, Chromebook, and Android tablets and smartphones.
Platform Compatibility
The DOCK423 has been validated with the current releases of the
following:
- Windows 10 PC with USB-C Alternate Mode Ports
- MacBooks Mojave, Catalina, and BigSur macOS, including M1 with Thunderbolt
Ports
- Chromebooks with USB-C

Delivery
- Android platforms supporting Type-C Alternate Modes
- Samsung DeX Devices with USB-C
- iPad Pro Platforms with USB-C

While the DOCK423 is compatible with just about every Type-C technology, the
only mode the DOCK423 does not function with is regular USB (aka USB 3.0). It
cannot be converted to connect to a USB STD-A or Apple Lightning port. Many of
the DOCK423 functions and their performance rely on the capabilities of the host
it is plugged into. The following describes what can be expected in various
configuration use cases utilizing the DOCK423.
