The smart solution for your desktop

"Connect2Office Stand" docking station with 12 ports

Whether office, home office or desk sharing - ports are in short supply on chic, flat laptops just as they are on many USB hubs. So where do you put the ergonomic mouse, multiple monitors and external hard drives? Our docking station for the laptop is not only a true port replicator with its twelve connections, but also supports your ergonomic workstation. All you need is a USB-C socket or a Thunderbolt port to connect the "Connect2Office Stand" docking station to your notebook.

Various connection options on the USB-C docking station

USB docking station for more possibilities

Our multi-port docking station gives you more connection options. For example, you can connect a projector, monitor, printer, speakers, keyboard and mouse to the additional ports at the same time as charging the notebook battery. Large distances between the slots allow you to connect wide plugs without any problems. And since efficiency is a top priority: if you only need your laptop to take it to a customer appointment, for example, you only have to pull the plug from the docking station and do not have to painstakingly disconnect all the plugs.

Workstation ergonomics made easy

The "Connect2Office Stand" also impresses in terms of ergonomics: the USB docking station is also a foldable notebook stand. This can be tilted when open and thus takes up the position that gives you the best view of your laptop in an ergonomic pose that is relaxed for your neck and back. Devices up to 15.6" (39.62cm) are securely accommodated here. Non-slip, rubberised feet keep the perfect position in place.

Air for your laptop to breathe

Another plus point of the stand function: with the inclined position of the notebook stand, your laptop gets enough air all around - the optimised air circulation and heat dissipation means your notebook does not overheat. Especially in the hot summer months, you want to avoid the important presentation from crashing while you create it. With the airy laptop holder, you avoid hardware faults that can result from an overheated device - so you get more out of your laptop for longer.

Data transmission at top speeds

Having a chat in the kitchen while you transfer the presentation from the external hard drive via the USB-C port? Feel free, but you don't have to worry about transferring data from the USB-C docking station. With a 10 Gbit/s super-speed data transfer, efficient work is guaranteed. To ensure that your laptop never runs out of power while you are working full steam ahead on that new costing, the docking station is equipped with a power delivery charging function. This allows the charger and laptop to communicate with each other so that the device is charged quickly, yet gently. Simply use the original USB-C power supply of your notebook. Of course, it can also be used to charge the mobile phone. All controls at full power!

In the video you can see how you can work efficiently with the "Connect2Office Stand".

MST technology: All good things come in threes

More monitors = better overview, better overview = more efficiency - which is exactly why you can connect up to three more monitors to the "Connect2Office Stand". This is made possible by MST technology (multi-stream transport). The new company clip on YouTube or the presentation for the next pitch can be viewed on a large monitor in the best 4096 x 2160 (4K) ultra-HD quality.

Happy life for your notebook

Everyone knows about worn-out plugs and sockets - that's precisely why we have an angled USB-C plug so that this doesn't happen. The angled plug reduces the lever effect and thus avoids a worn-out USB-C socket. Pulling the cables as far as they will go to fit into the unit? In the long run, this will break the cable and the socket, and won't do anyone any good. So that you can use our docking station in a relaxed manner, the USB cable is extra-long and the USB-C port is centrally located - so the Connect2Office Stand works with all notebooks, regardless of whether the USB-C port is on the left or right.

Plug & Play – and off you go!

Simply plug in the USB-C connector and get started. You do not need to install any drivers or software. The docking station is designed for the Windows 11/10/8/7 and Mac OS 10.8 and higher operating systems.

Meanwhile, all incoming and outgoing signals to and from the laptop are transported via a single USB-C cable. It couldn't be simpler."

FAQs

Can I connect 2 or more screens to the MacBook?
The MacBook can only output one additional monitor signal. All other connected monitors display this one additional picture. MST (Multi-Stream-Transport) for connecting several external monitors is only supported by devices with the Windows operating system.
Can I also stream/play movies via the docking station?
Yes, playback on a connected monitor is possible without any problems. However, forwarding the video signal to recording devices is not supported.
My laptop does not have a USB-C port. Can I use an adapter?
No, the docking station is only suitable for use with notebooks with USB-C interfaces that meet the USB specifications and system requirements. Adaptations to USB-A or other connections are not possible.
Is the docking station compatible with laptops from all manufacturers?
The USB-C docking station is not limited to notebooks from certain manufacturers. However, the device must have a USB-C port that meets the USB specifications and system requirements. To use the notebook stand's charging function, your device must have a USB-C socket with "PowerDelivery" (PD). The easiest way to tell this is that your laptop power supply has a USB-C plug for charging your device.
What's the maximum weight my laptop can have for the USB-C hub?
The laptop stand is totally compatible with the weight of all standard notebooks with a display size up to 15.6"/39.62 cm.
Can I close my notebook and only work via the connected devices (monitor, mouse, keyboard)?
Yes, this is possible. The prerequisite for this is that the laptop does not switch off when it is closed. You can set this in the system settings.
Does the USB hub recognise all connections after a power failure?
Yes, it may be necessary to restart the notebook.
