USB-C and USB-A Ports

These ports allow you to:

• Connect accessories like keyboards, mice, or webcams

•  Charge compatible low-power devices

📌 These ports cannot be used to connect the Pegboard Desk Dock to your PC or to supply external power.

USB C PD Input (Power Delivery) Port

This port is used to provide external power when:

• Your computer’s USB-C port does not supply enough power

•  You are connecting high-powered peripherals (like RGB keyboards, microphones, or additional Docks)

📌 This port is for power input only, it does not support data transfer or device charging.

Connecting a Second Pegboard Desk Dock

You can connect a second Pegboard Desk Dock by plugging it into one of the non-PD USB-C ports on the first Dock.

• If you experience connectivity issues or reduced performance, connect an external power supply to the PD Input Port to support both units.

Once your Pegboard Desk Dock is plugged in and the Nanoleaf Desktop App is installed, you are ready to control your lighting, manage accessories, and enjoy an organized, functional setup.
