UGREEN CM380 MacBook Docking Station

If you own a MacBook, you know the struggle all too well. Apple’s sleek, minimalist design comes at a cost: very few ports. The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro give you just two or four USB-C/Thunderbolt ports, and that’s it. No USB-A for your flash drive. No HDMI for your external monitor. No SD card slot for your camera. No way to charge and connect peripherals at the same time without constantly swapping cables.

Enter the UGREEN CM380 MacBook Docking Station—a brilliant 6-in-2 adapter that turns two USB-C ports into a complete workstation with two USB-A 3.0 ports, 4K HDMI output, Thunderbolt 3 pass-through, SD and microSD card readers, and 100W Power Delivery pass-through charging. Designed specifically for MacBook users, this UGREEN MacBook docking station plugs directly into your laptop with no cables, no clutter, and no compromises.

At Calvantech, we’re proud to offer the UGREEN CM380 MacBook Docking Station to customers across Kenya who demand premium quality and seamless connectivity for their Apple devices.

2. Why You Need the UGREEN CM380 MacBook Docking Station

Let’s be honest—port scarcity on MacBooks is a real pain. Whether you’re using a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, you’ve probably experienced the frustration of having only two USB-C ports and needing to connect a mouse, external hard drive, flash drive, HDMI monitor, and SD card all at once.

The UGREEN CM380 MacBook Docking Station solves this problem elegantly. It plugs into two adjacent USB-C ports on your MacBook and instantly gives you six essential ports:

• 2x USB-A 3.0 ports at 5 Gbps speeds

• 1x HDMI port supporting 4K UHD at 3840×2160 @ 30Hz

• 1x USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port with 100W PD charging, 40 Gbps data transfer, and 6K video output

• 1x SD Card slot for fast photo transfers

• 1x TF (microSD) Card slot for mobile device storage

What makes the UGREEN CM380 different from other hubs?

• Dual-plug direct-insert design – No dangling cables, no desk clutter

• Space Gray aluminum alloy – Perfectly matches your MacBook’s aesthetic

• 100W PD pass-through – Charge your MacBook at full speed while using all ports

• 4K HDMI + 6K Thunderbolt 3 video – Dual display options for maximum productivity

• SD/TF card readers – Transfer photos and videos directly from your camera or drone

• Plug-and-play – No drivers, no setup, just works

3. Key Features of the UGREEN CM380 MacBook Docking Station

3.1 Dual USB-C Direct-Insert Design – No Cables, No Clutter

The UGREEN CM380 MacBook Docking Station features a dual USB-C male connector that plugs directly into two adjacent USB-C/Thunderbolt ports on your MacBook. Unlike traditional hubs with trailing cables that create desk clutter, the CM380 sits flush against your laptop. It’s designed to fit both the left side and right side ports of MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models.

Note: The hub requires a flush connection to the MacBook chassis, so it does not fit MacBooks while a protective case is attached.

3.2 Two USB-A 3.0 Ports – 5 Gbps SuperSpeed

The UGREEN CM380 MacBook Docking Station gives you two USB-A 3.0 ports with data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps. That’s 10 times faster than USB 2.0. Connect flash drives, external hard drives, keyboards, mice, printers, and more—all at blazing-fast speeds.

3.3 Thunderbolt 3 Port – 40 Gbps Data, 100W PD, 6K Video

The UGREEN CM380 MacBook Docking Station includes a USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port that delivers three powerful capabilities in one:

• 100W Power Delivery pass-through charging – Charge your MacBook at full speed

• 40 Gbps data transfer – Move massive files in seconds

• 6K video output – Connect to ultra-high-resolution displays

This makes the UGREEN CM380 MacBook docking station incredibly versatile—whether you’re editing 8K video, transferring huge datasets, or presenting on a massive 6K display.

3.4 4K HDMI Output – Stunning Ultra HD Display

The built-in HDMI port supports 4K UHD resolution at 3840×2160 @ 30Hz. Whether you’re giving a presentation, editing video, or enjoying a movie, the UGREEN CM380 MacBook docking station delivers crisp, vibrant visuals on external monitors, projectors, and TVs.

3.5 SD and microSD Card Readers – 104 MB/s Speeds

For photographers, videographers, and content creators, the UGREEN CM380 MacBook Docking Station is a game-changer. It features both SD and microSD (TF) card slots that support UHS-I cards with read speeds of up to 104 MB/s. Both slots can be used simultaneously, making it easy to transfer photos from your camera and drone at the same time.

3.6 100W Power Delivery Pass-Through Charging

One of the standout features of the UGREEN CM380 MacBook Docking Station is its 100W Power Delivery pass-through charging via the Thunderbolt 3 port. The USB-C female port accepts your existing 67W, 87W, or 96W Apple charger (or any compatible USB-C PD adapter) and passes power through to your MacBook at full speed. This means you can charge your MacBook while using all other ports simultaneously—no more choosing between charging and connecting.

3.7 Premium Space Gray Aluminum Build

The UGREEN CM380 MacBook Docking Station is crafted from high-quality Space Gray aluminum alloy that perfectly matches the finish of Apple’s MacBook lineup. The aluminum housing not only looks premium but also helps dissipate heat efficiently during extended use.

• The hub does not fit MacBooks while a protective case is attached because the dual plugs need a flush connection to the chassis
