Functionality
Designed for Surface

Kensington worked directly with Microsoft to design an enterprise-grade connectivity solution that was both efficient and elegant. Use your docking station and charge your devices with confidence.

Driverless USB-C connectivity with 10 Gbps data transfer and PD power up to 100W (PD 3.0)

No driver is required to enjoy transfer speeds of 10 Gbps and PD power up to 100 W (PD 3.0). The best laptop docking station with USB-C port (supporting PD power and DisplayPort alternate mode).

Multiple video ports

Optional alternate USB-C mode can also be used instead of a DP++ port. Supported resolutions vary by connected device (see manual or feature table for more information).

Dynamic video support

Supports minimum resolution 4K at 30Hz with one display, 1080p at 60Hz with two displays, and 1,600 x 900 at 60Hz with three displays when connected to a DP1.2/HBR2 device, and maximum resolution 4K at 60Hz with one display, 4K at 60Hz with two displays and 4K at 60Hz with three displays when connected to a DP1.4 HBR3 device.
