The USB 3.0 docking station offers a fast and easy way to maximize your laptop’s workable screen space, giving you three screens in total when coupled with your laptop’s display.
This USB docking station lets you easily connect your keyboard, external drives and other peripherals, to transform your laptop into a powerful, fully capable workstation. The dock features a USB Type-B dock connection (host) for more robust port stability, unlike the Micro-B ports that are often used on other docking stations. From the single USB 3.0 host connection, the dock provides six USB 3.0 (Type-A) ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, plus a 3.5 mm audio headphone port. Two of the USB 3.0 ports are always-on fast-charging ports, adding charge-and-sync flexibility for up to two mobile devices.
The compact, horizontal design of the laptop docking station makes it easy to position on your desk, alongside your other devices and peripherals. It’s an attractive addition to any workspace, with a sleek silver and black finish that matches most laptops.
