Kensington SD5000T Thunderbolt™ 3 Docking Station— (SKU# K38232)  

The SD5000T Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station is a game-changer, allowing users to achieve greater levels of productivity. The new dock accommodates a single cable carrying up to 40Gbps of data in one compact port that supports dual 4K video and a complete array of desktop accessories connected at 8 times the speed of USB 3.0, while also providing up to 85W of laptop charging power. Whether it's a video editor, graphic designer, content creator, gamer, or just someone who wants to simplify a 4K workspace, users will get more — more speed, more pixels, more power, and more possibilities. The 4K monitors can be connected with DisplayPort or passive adapters that connect with HDMI or DVI. The two Thunderbolt 3 ports are compact and do it all — delivering the fastest, most versatile connection to a wide range of displays and data devices in the market. And with Zero Footprint Mounting, users can mount the dock to the back of a 75mm or 100mm VESA-compatible external monitor (mounting plate sold separately), reducing desktop clutter.

"The SD5000T Thunderbolt 3 Dock was designed for overachieving professionals who want to push productivity into hyper-drive," said Louie Yao, Senior Global Product Manager, Kensington.
