Features

Universal Docking Station

A savvy technology investment for evolving and mixed computer environments, the SD4700P connects to any laptop equipped with USB-C or USB-A, and supports both Windows and Mac operating systems.

Simple Set-up

Deploying a universal dock has never been easier. The SD4700P offers quick connections to transfer audio, video, data and power (supported USB-C devices only). Supporting clean and clutter-free workspaces, while also accommodating roaming computer environments and flexible workspaces, the SD4700P was designed with simplicity in mind.

DisplayPort++/HDMI

Providing support for flexible video connections, the SD4700P will support up to 2560x1600 for a single monitor or 2048x1152 for dual monitors.

6 USB Ports

Extending the productivity capabilities of today’s thin laptops, the SD4700P provides one USB-C port, and five USB-A ports, one of which is a 2.1A fast-charging port to power up a tablet or smartphone.

135W Power Supply Adapter

Providing ample power for the dock and up to 60W of power for devices connected via Power Delivey (PD) USB-C, the SD4700P is a powerful dock.

Combo 3.5mm Headphone & Microphone Jack

Connect your favorite headset with ease.

Gigabit Ethernet Port

Provides a reliable 1Gb wired networking connection between computers for faster downloads from the corporate intranet or internet.

Kensington Security Slot

Allows you to easily implement a cable lock from the No. 1 brand in physical device security to protect your technology investment from potential thieves.

Zero Footprint Mounting

The dock can be mounted to the back of any VESA-compatible external display (mounting plate (K33959WW) sold separately), allowing you to keep your desktop less cluttered.

Free Kensington DockWorks™ Software

Enables the best connection, performance and security from your Kensington dock.

Optional up to 60W Power Splitter (38310)

While  the  SD4700P  Docking  Station  already  provides  Power  Delivery  (PD)  for  USB-C  enabled  devices  supporting  PD,  the optional  up to 60W  USB  3.0  Power  Splitter (38310) allows  for  a  truly  universal  solution  that  will  power  your  USB  3.0  enabled  laptops  through  the  same  docking  station  –  providing  your  business  with  a  scalable  and  standardised  docking  solution  as  you  cross  over  from  USB  3.0  to  USB-C  enabled  mobile  devices.

Supporting the latest technology, while extending the life of your docking solution investments, Kensington has engineered the SD4700P Universal USB-C and USB-A Hybrid Docking Station using the most stable and trusted technology.
