Upgrade your workstation with a single, powerful solution designed to maximize productivity and keep your workflow fluid. The StarTech USB4 Docking Station uses a single USB-C 40Gbps USB4 or Thunderbolt connection to deliver high-performance video, data, and power to your laptop. It’s built for professionals who demand seamless multi-monitor setups, fast peripheral access, reliable wired networking, and the ability to stay charged while you work. By consolidating essential ports into one elegant hub, this docking station reduces clutter, simplifies cable management, and unlocks a new level of efficiency whether you’re in a corporate office, a shared workspace, or a home office. With dual HDMI 2.1 outputs, a robust USB hub, and fast networking, you’ll experience smoother video playback, quicker file transfers, and a more responsive computing environment across a range of demanding tasks—from software development and video production to financial analysis and creative editing.

Flexible High-Performance Video is at the heart of this dock. The 2x HDMI 2.1 video outputs enable connecting two external displays to your host computer, empowering you to extend your desktop, mirror content, or create dedicated work zones for different applications. HDMI 2.1 brings higher bandwidth and improved features, so you can enjoy richer color, enhanced refresh rates, and better overall visual fidelity when working with high-resolution media, CAD applications, or data dashboards. Whether you’re configuring a multi-monitor trading desk, a video-editing suite, or a developer environment with multiple reference screens, you’ll appreciate how this dock handles parallel video streams without compromising performance. The result is more screen real estate, better multitasking, and a streamlined layout that keeps your hands on the keyboard and your eyes on the task at hand.

Beyond video, the dock features a capable 6-port USB hub that expands your peripheral options without forcing you to unplug devices. Attach keyboards, mice, external SSDs, audio interfaces, webcams, or other USB devices to the hub and maintain responsive, reliable access across all connected gear. The hub is designed to deliver solid bandwidth for multiple devices simultaneously, reducing bottlenecks and helping you keep critical workflows humming. Add in the 2.5GbE RJ-45 Ethernet port for a fast, stable wired network connection—an essential for large-file transfers, cloud backups, collaborative sessions, and low-latency conferencing. Together, the video, data, and networking capabilities create a robust, all-in-one docking solution that supports professional-grade workflows in a compact, desk-friendly footprint.

Power delivery completes the package. The dock supports up to 100W of Power Delivery, enabling a host laptop to remain charged while you work with displays and peripherals connected. This is particularly valuable during long sessions, heavy workloads, or when you’re streaming, compiling code, rendering video, or running virtual machines. The ability to deliver power through the USB-C/USB4 connection means fewer power bricks on your desk and fewer interruptions to your day. While the dock handles power delivery to the laptop, you still retain full access to your external devices, so you can maintain a clean, organized workspace without sacrificing performance or capability. This combination of charging and connectivity makes the StarTech USB4 Docking Station an ideal solution for professionals who want reliability, simplicity, and a future-proof path for expanding their setup as needs evolve.

Designed for versatility and reliability, this docking station blends a sleek, compact form factor with rugged functionality. It’s designed to work with USB4-compatible hosts and Thunderbolt-enabled systems, offering a high-bandwidth experience that translates into smoother multi-display operations, faster data transfers, and dependable networking. The single-cable connection means you can quickly connect and disconnect your laptop without sacrificing performance, making it an excellent choice for hot-desking, flex offices, or remote work setups. The dock’s layout keeps ports easily accessible, allowing you to plug in USB devices, displays, and a network cable without obstructing other desk elements. For professionals who rely on efficiency and organization, this docking station reduces cable clutter, lowers setup time, and contributes to a more productive work environment. The result is a reliable, future-ready docking solution that seamlessly integrates into a wide range of notebooks, ultrabooks, and mobile workstations, regardless of whether you’re in a design studio, a software lab, or an executive suite.
