Multi-tasking Made Easy
Ultra-thin laptops and 2-in-1 convertibles like the Surface Pro offer great mobile productivity and a sleek design — but they also come up short on ports. As a result, you’re constantly plugging and unplugging peripherals. The Kensington USB 3.0 Dual 2K Docking Station turns one USB port into six so you can access all of your peripherals, including keyboard, mouse, printer, external hard drive, and more. And with dual HD video output, you can add two external monitors to boost productivity. The dock’s two USB 3.0 ports support super-speed data transfer of up to 5 Gbps.
- Extend mode: Share your desktop across multiple screens so you can view and work on multiple applications at once. Clone mode: Replicate the same content from your laptop to your secondary display.
- Two super-speed USB 3.0 ports are ideal when you want to transfer data from another device. Headphone and microphone jacks are also conveniently placed on the front of the dock. Connect your peripherals with four USB 2.0 ports strategically located on the back of the dock to keep your printer, keyboard, mice cables or wireless receivers hidden from view.
- Expand your workspace by adding additional monitors. Connect a DVI monitor to the DVI port or use the included DVI-VGA adapter to connect a VGA monitor. If you have an HDMI monitor, connect directly into the HDMI port. You can also connect a second HDMI monitor to the DVI port using the included DVI-HDMI adapter. You can run both ports simultaneously.
- Intuitive display management console sits on your applications bar and allows you to easily switch between display modes, change the master monitor or adjust alignment and position of your screens.
