Nintendo's Switch dock uses a proprietary connector hardwired to USB-C for charging while outputting 1080p via separate HDMI 2.0 to any TV. The integrated USB 3.0 port on back powers additional Joy-Con charging or local multiplayer accessories, and standard HDMI makes any TV compatible. The dock itself draws power from a separate AC adapter, so USB-C charging works independently from video. Below is the complete port list.
Official docking station for Nintendo Switch enabling TV mode gameplay at up to 1080p, featuring HDMI output and multiple USB ports for controllers and accessories. Compatible with all Nintendo Switch models except Switch Lite.
