Three New USB Docking Stations Take Productivity to the Next Level

As one of the first USB-C® docks to support up to four external monitors (Quad 4K @ 30Hz), the SD4880P USB-C® 10Gbps Quad Video 17-in-1 Driverless Dock supports Thunderbolt™ 4, Thunderbolt™ 3, USB4®, and USB-C® laptops, enhancing workflow and increasing productivity while promoting a clutter-free workspace. Delivering data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, the plug-and-play 17-in-1 design features four high-power USB-C and six USB-A ports, two HDMI® and two DisplayPort™ connections, a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, SD card reader, and a combo audio jack. The cutting-edge dock provides up to 100W dynamic power delivering allowing users to charge connected accessories without requiring a host laptop connection.

Ideal for use in mixed technology environments, versatile SD4781P USB-C® & USB-A Dual 4K Docking Station and SD4782P USB-C® & USB-A Dual 4K Docking Station support the latest USB-C® and legacy USB-A laptops with video, data, and power, powered by DisplayLink, including dual monitor support for MacBook M1/M2/M3 laptops. Both docks support up to two external Ultra HD monitors (4K @ 60Hz) via two HDMI® 2.0 and two DP++ 1.2 ports. In addition to a Gigabit Ethernet port and audio combo jack, the docks enable users to connect accessories at speeds up to 10Gbps via one USB-C® port and five USB-A ports. Both docks deliver up to 100W to power USB-C® laptops, the docking station and connected accessories. The SD4782P includes a 100W Power Splitter to power USB-A laptops.

All three docks are composed of 73% post-consumer recycled content (PCR) supporting Kensington’s focus on reducing environmental impact. Zero-footprint mounting options maximize desktop space by enabling users to mount the docking station out of the way, and security cable lock slots support Kensington cable locks to protect the investment.
