Have you ever got to the office, or a meeting, and realised you’ve not quite got the ports available to connect all the devices you need at that one moment in time? We have. Working on a project that isn’t really suitable for cross-referencing multiple sources of data, and so leads to the need for multiple desktop monitors.
When we discussed the issue recently with IT connectivity provider ATEN, we soon found out that there is greater demand than we expected. Far more people are working on the move and then using the same workspace once they get to the office, which is great, until the screen you’re working on just doesn’t offer adequate conditions.
Extra Expansion Meets Flexibility And Style.
ATEN recently announced the latest addition to their armoury. The docking station.
With options available to suit both Mac and Windows, ATEN’s solution provides a simplified and productive workspace; offering the best docking stations for any budget.
To offer you a bit of insight, we’ve decided to single out the USB-C multiport dock – UH3234. Providing a power delivery pass-through of up to 60W with fast-charging capabilities, the UH3234 can connect up to 10 devices through a single USB-C cable. The UH3234 multiport dock boasts extra HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, USB3.1 Gen1, SD/MMC/MicroSD memory card, Ethernet and audio connections.
Such a product needs to fit in discreetly and take up minimal space. ATEN fully support this and understand the intentions of those needing it most. With an aluminium casing, this lightweight docking station can be placed directly under a laptop for space saving; a 5-degree angle to help improve air circulation; low-profile assures that minimal desk space is taken up.
Enough Connections When You Need Them Most.

With the docking stations from ATEN, you’ll be able to support these advancements in your technology and strive for success in day to day with minimal impact, and far less stress.
