Universal Docking Stations — One Size Fits All

Universal docking stations turn the USB port of a computer into a docking station connector. A dock, connected to your computer by a single USB cable, can support multiple displays, audio, Ethernet and other USB peripherals. Universal docking stations are able to be used with a comprehensive range of laptops, ultrabooks, tablets, Android devices, Chromebooks and MacBooks.

Works with Any USB Connector

DisplayLink-enabled docks can be used with any computer that has a USB port. This includes the older USB Standard-A ports and the newer USB-C standard. In fact, as DisplayLink only requires USB signals to operate, DisplayLink-enabled docks will work with any of the connectors shown here.

Boost Workplace Productivity

DisplayLink-enabled universal docking stations are proven to significantly boost office productivity. Dual monitors can help employees complete tasks as much as 52 percent faster, saving up to 2.5 hours a day.1 So, if you have 30 employees, a second monitor saves you 75 hours a day, 375 hours a week, 1650 hours a month, and 18,825 hours a year. And adding a third monitor has been shown to increase productivity even further.

Productivity & Costs

Reduce Costs

All DisplayLink docks work with any device that has a USB port, offering full support for older devices or BYOD scenarios and removing the need to frequently update docks or devices. DisplayLink docks also provide a simple and effective solution for hot desking setups, allowing businesses to downsize office space and reduce overheads by up to 33%.

Ultimate Scalability

Need more displays? DisplayLink's unique technology scales effortlessly, enabling additional displays without degrading resolution simply by daisy-chaining docks. Everything is still connected to the host computer over a single USB cable, which is also able to deliver power.

Take a look at a walkthrough of our CES demo showing eight 4K displays (effectively dual 8K) running from a single notebook.
