Hi all,

I have the iPad Pro 11 inch M1 and the Dell D6000. The USB-C connection is so great. But I doubt about the watt. Can it harm my iPad Pro with the 130w? I have the power brick connected to the Dell D6000 for power support.

Thx for all the reply’!

No, I use this dock regularly.

The iPad supports USB-C Power Delivery and so does this dock. The iPad will negotiate with the dock for the highest profile they share and then the iPad will consume as much power as it needs. The Dock supports a max of 100W on USB-C Power Delivery, but it won't force 100W on all devices. That's not how USB or electricity works. Wattage message power pull and voltage measures power push. You'll damage devices by hooking them up to devices that deliver more voltage than it is capable of handling, but USB has signaling to prevent devices from receiving power at an unsupported voltage.
