Multi-tasking Made Easy

Ultra-thin laptops and 2-in-1 convertibles like the Surface Pro offer great mobile productivity and a sleek design — but they also come up short on ports. As a result, you’re constantly plugging and unplugging peripherals. The Kensington USB 3.0 Dual 2K Docking Station turns one USB port into six so you can access all of your peripherals, including keyboard, mouse, printer, external hard drive, and more. And with dual HD video output, you can add two external monitors to boost productivity. The dock’s two USB 3.0 ports support super-speed data transfer of up to 5 Gbps.

  • Extend mode: Share your desktop across multiple screens so you can view and work on multiple applications at once. Clone mode: Replicate the same content from your laptop to your secondary display.
  • Two super-speed USB 3.0 ports are ideal when you want to transfer data from another device. Headphone and microphone jacks are also conveniently placed on the front of the dock. Connect your peripherals with four USB 2.0 ports strategically located on the back of the dock to keep your printer, keyboard, mice cables or wireless receivers hidden from view.
  • Expand your workspace by adding additional monitors. Connect a DVI monitor to the DVI port or use the included DVI-VGA adapter to connect a VGA monitor. If you have an HDMI monitor, connect directly into the HDMI port. You can also connect a second HDMI monitor to the DVI port using the included DVI-HDMI adapter. You can run both ports simultaneously.
  • Intuitive display management console sits on your applications bar and allows you to easily switch between display modes, change the master monitor or adjust alignment and position of your screens.

    Works with Elitebook G6 and dual 4k monitors.  Cheaper models didn't work.
    4 Stars
    Works with Elitebook G6 and dual 4k monitors. Cheaper models didn't work.
    Finally, I found a docking station to connects my 4-year old HP Elitebook 840 G6 to dual Samsung 4k monitors! This is the fifth docking station that I tried! None of the following (cheaper models) worked for me: (1) HP 2013 UltraSlim Docking Station 65W (D9Y32AA) (2) HP Elite Zbook Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station (HSTNN-CX01) (3) Targus USB-C Dual HDMI 4K Docking Station 100W (DSU200TT) (4) j5create USB-C Triple Display Docking Station 100W (JCD543)I just about was ready to give up, but this Kensington model works! Wow, thank goodness!I'm happy that it works. I'm keeping it, but I have two minor complaints. First, why are these things so expensive? (I found a used one from Amazon warehouse for less than a hundred dollars, but the new ones are $180? Wow, that's as much as I paid for my used laptop.) And second, the tangle of cables connected to this looks like an octopus. My desk would be neater if I could attach the mouse, keyboard, and speakers all to the same side (back) of the unit where the monitor outputs are, but there aren't enough ports on that side. If you're considering paying full price for one of these, you might want to look for a model with Thunderbolt 4 support, and all the connections you need on the back side.
