Fast Docking
- When I removed the laptop from the docking station and connected the HDMI, Ethernet, two USB 3.0 flash drives, and an external mouse and keyboard through a USB 2.0 port directly on the laptop, the devices were recognized quickly but drive throughput was much slower because I had to use a USB 2.0 port on the EliteBook to connect the hub with the.
- The Dock supports Fast Role Swap, an advanced feature in the USB Power Delivery 3.0 specification. This feature ensures the Dock maintains power levels anytime it detects a drop below a set threshold, such as while unplugging the laptop or tablet's USB-C power adapter.
- The unit includes plenty of USB 3.0 ports (3-A and 2-C) to accommodate up to five USB peripherals (1 Fast Charging A and 1 Fast Charging C) and includes 1 GbE port and 1 3.5 mm audio port. I especially like the single cable design, so the dock powers and charges your laptop. This is perfect for the road warrior and home office professionals.
