This KVM docking station for
two laptops is the first of its kind. It functions similar to
a KVM switch, letting you share your keyboard, video, and
mouse between two computers.
Plus, it provides dual-monitor
outputs, so you can add two extra displays to your
workstation, and then share them with each laptop.
This dock eliminates the
frustrations of working with multiple computers. You can save
money and desk space by using the same peripheral set with
each computer, plus you can easily transfer files between your
two laptops. It�s a simple yet ultra-efficient method
for working with more than one laptop.
The dual-monitor KVM dock
supports Windows� or Mac laptops, or a combination of both.
And for a faster workflow and additional convenience, this
specialty docking station lets you share and exchange data
between your two computers.
It's perfect for a range of
users such as professionals and office workers with multiple
laptops, students, and IT technicians. It�s ideal for
collaboration in classrooms, labs, and boardrooms, as well as
many other specialized applications.
Shared docking revolutionizes
the way you work
This cutting-edge docking
station is designed for users with multiple laptops or Windows
based tablets. Like a KVM switch, it lets you share your
peripherals between two computers, with the added benefit of
offering extra monitor connections. With shared docking you
can get more work done in less time and avoid the nuisance of
plugging and unplugging your laptops while you�re using them
both at your workstation.
When you�re in a hurry,
switching control to either computer is effortless using the
switch button that�s conveniently located on the side of the
dock.
You can create a dual-monitor
workstation that connects with two laptops if you have
DisplayPort� and HDMI� displays, making it easy to display
applications or browsers from either laptop. Alternatively the
dock supports a single 4K DP monitor, for 4K x 2K (3840 x
2160p - 30Hz) cinema-quality resolution and vivid picture
quality.

Plenty of ports gives you
everything you need
In addition to connecting two
laptops, this full-featured KVM dock lets you connect up to
nine peripherals, and provides all the ports you need. And,
with five USB 3.0 ports you can connect more USB devices than
most docking stations allow. Plus, every port can be easily
shared between each connected laptop.
It�s easy to charge your
mobile device quickly using the always-on fast-charge port.
With several USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and a headset
jack, you can connect multiple peripherals and control them
from either laptop.
Unlike some docks, this
easy-to-use docking station offers seamless, error-free driver
installation which makes it easy to create a dynamic and
high-performance workstation.
Direct file sharing between
laptops makes life easier
For an uninterrupted workflow
and streamlined convenience this dock integrates file sharing
capabilities. Laptop-to-laptop file sharing is faster, more
secure, and easier to use than cloud or external storage
solutions, plus, you can skip the aggravation of configuring
your network to support file sharing.
Using Windows Easy Transfer, or
the included PCLinq software, you can easily create files and
presentations on your primary laptop, and quickly transfer
them to your portable Ultrabook�, MacBook, or tablet. Plus,
with two laptops connected to just one dock, the file sharing
dock makes it easy to collaborate with colleagues or
classmates.
The built-in file transfer
software is easy to use and data transfers are lightning
quick, using USB 3.0 technology. (USB 3.0 is also known as USB
3.1 Gen 1 - 5Gbps.)
The unique file exchange
technology creates endless application possibilities, and the
dock especially caters to developers, as well as network and
systems administrators.
The USB3DDOCKFT is backed by a
StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical
support.
Note: PCLinq can be used in
any operating system that the dock supports. Windows Easy
Transfer can only be used in Windows 8.1, 8, and 7.
In the Media
�Very
useful device for those looking to easily share a single
workstation setup with two laptops.�
The
ability to use both Mac and Windows laptops together is
another great bonus that will go over especially well in
mixed-platform homes and businesses.
