C2G today announced that its USB-C® and Thunderbolt™ 3 docking station kits are now available. Ideal for quickly setting up workstations at the office or in the home, the docking stations take the guesswork out of connectivity by providing a single connection point to give end-users more screen space and access to more devices — transforming their laptops into full desktops — while saving them time by bundling the necessary cables.
“Anyone who transitioned to working from home during the pandemic knows that configuring a laptop setup can be an extremely frustrating experience, which is only made worse when you realize you don’t have the cables you need,” said Robb Mays, associate product marketing manager, C2G, a brand of Legrand. “Our docking station kits address this headache by making the process as simple as possible, bundling the necessary cables and offering single-port solutions for connecting displays and storage devices; powering smartphones and laptops; delivering internet connectivity; and much more. It couldn’t be easier.”
With C2G’s docking stations, users can turn their laptops into desktop systems without worrying about the lack of ports. Instead of plugging multiple devices into their laptops, the keyboard, mouse, monitors, storage devices, and more, can be permanently plugged into the docking station, which connects to the laptop via a single USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 cable.
