Due to their flexible connection standards, hybrid docking stations are compatible with almost all notebook models and are therefore often preferred to their manufacturer-specific counterparts. Especially in large companies that have a mixed or frequently changing hardware landscape, hybrid docking stations help to make IT investments pay off in the long run. In combination with the Kensington DockWork™ software that is available free of charge, the IT department also saves valuable time on managing the docking stations.

Which docking station is the right one for my notebook?
The wide range of cable connections to choose from can be quite confusing. This is why it is so important to know the right connection standard (e.g. the choice between USB Type-C or USB 3.0) for your hardware. You then select the docking station that best suits your user requirements. Need any help or consulting? Your personal account manager would be glad to give you more information.
