Can I use a USB extension cable to connect the charging station to my computer?

The charging station cable is mini usb on one end, and usb on the other. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use an extender cable on the end of that. I would think it'd work just fine.

It does not need to be a computer, any usb charger will do. I use my iPad charger most of the time.

I haven't tried, but theoretically any functionality present in the original USB 2.0 port on your computer should be preserved across the extension cord.

Yes, that is for the docking station. FYI, docking station does not come with a power supply. One cord which has one plug which plus into your laptop.

I use my cell phone charger. You could also use the USB port on a computer.

In order to get this unit to work with my hard drive I had to use an external power supply so i would have to think that you would be better off with a direct connection to the computer for charging any device. Hope this helps.

You'll use the same cord, but just flip it around. You can then use the usb end to plug into your computer for charging.

There's a mini USB port on the back of the charging station. All you need is a USB power source. It can be a computer or a wall charger of your choice (110v or 220v). There's tons of adapters available.

Cant we just use a USB-c to USB-a cable to charge this instead of a DC cable ?

There is a miniUSB to dual USB cord that comes with it, which uses the power from the PC. It's a little longer than I'd like it to be, so I suppose you can substitute a shorter one. Not sure what the dual USB end would be for...

Yes, the charging cord that plugs into a 120v recepticle has a USB connector on it. To update the software you plug into the computer and follow the instructions on the screen.

Thanks. You answered my question. The docking station is a wired connection.

We have only used the computer USB for charging. Assume any USB connector will work

You can plug your USB cables into the six ports located inside the charging station, under the top tray. Simply lift the top tray up from the charging station, plug in your charging cord, and pull it through the cord portal in the tray as you replace the tray. Excess cord length can be easily tucked inside the charging station, keeping the top neat and clutter-free. You can also turn the top tray upside-down to have a flat surface if you don't want to stand your devices in the slots.

Yes, BUT the one I got requires that you use one of the two USB connections to use them. They apparently don't automatically connect directly to the computer.

Yes, you need to use 2 usb ports for the extra power. The supplied usb Y cable has about 5 inches of slack between the plugs. If your laptop only has 1 usb on each side you will have to get an extension.
