The Dell Performance Dock (WD19DCS-240W) is a wired USB-C docking station that expands connectivity, delivers high power to compatible laptops (up to 210W), and supports multi-monitor setups, fast data transfer (up to 10 Gbps) and gigabit Ethernet.
The dock uses a USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2 / 3.1 Gen 2) host interface and works best with laptops that support USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery. Officially supported Windows versions listed include Windows 10 (including Education and Enterprise editions). For other OSes (macOS, Linux) functionality can vary—check your system’s USB-C/Thunderbolt and power-delivery support and consult Dell support for specific models.
The modular power design can boost your PC’s power delivery up to 210W to the connected laptop. The dock package is tied to a 240W power adapter (WD19DCS-240W); actual delivered wattage depends on the adapter included and the laptop’s power requirements.
Dell ExpressCharge is a fast-charging feature that can charge supported Dell laptops up to 80% in about one hour. Actual charging speed depends on the laptop model, battery condition, workload and power profile.
The dock supports up to four displays depending on the host laptop’s GPU, the number/type of outputs used and cable configuration. It supports a single display up to 5120 x 2880 (5K) or dual 4K monitors. Exact multi-monitor layouts depend on host capabilities and cabling.
The host interface is USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2), supporting data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps for compatible devices and cables.
Yes — the dock includes a wired Ethernet port supporting standard gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbit/s).
For full performance use the USB-C cable provided by Dell or a high-quality USB-C cable rated for USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 3/4 and USB Power Delivery. For 5K or multi-4K configurations, ensure cables and host ports support the required bandwidth and DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt.
Connect the dock to AC power, attach the USB-C host cable to your laptop’s USB-C/Thunderbolt port, then connect displays, Ethernet and peripherals. Power on your laptop and allow the system to install drivers. For optimal operation, install Dell’s latest drivers and firmware from Dell Support.
Check that: the host laptop supports the intended multi-display configuration; you’re using the correct rated cables; the dock firmware and laptop graphics drivers are up to date; and the laptop’s display output settings are configured correctly. Rebooting the laptop and dock or reconnecting cables often helps.
Download the latest docking station firmware and drivers from Dell’s support website by entering your dock or system service tag. Dell Command | Update or Dell SupportAssist can also help keep firmware and drivers current for Dell systems.
The WD19DCS dock is designed with enterprise manageability in mind — it supports secure firmware and can be managed via standard Dell IT tools and workflows. Specific manageability features and integration vary by deployment; consult Dell IT documentation for details on integrating the dock into your environment.
The dock is powered by DC from an AC supply that accepts 120–230 VAC at 50–60 Hz. The unit is black and supports high-resolution displays up to 5120 x 2880 pixels. For full physical specifications and port layout, see the product datasheet on Dell’s site.
You may get limited functionality. If the laptop’s USB-C port does not support DisplayPort Alt Mode, external displays via the dock may not work. If it does not support USB Power Delivery, the dock may not charge the laptop. Check your laptop’s USB-C feature set to determine compatibility.
It’s ideal for professionals, graphic designers, IT departments and remote workers who need a powerful, flexible docking solution with high-power delivery, multi-monitor support, gigabit Ethernet and fast USB data speeds. Verify compatibility with your laptop model before purchase.
