Thinlabs PoE Docking Station
Energy-efficient PoE docking for modern workspaces
SKU: TL-Dock
Product Description:
The Thinlabs Power over Ethernet (PoE) Docking Station powers all your compatible devices* directly via PoE — no electrical wiring required.
Featuring an industry-leading dual 802.3bt++ input, the PoE Dock can power laptops (via USB-C) and monitors simultaneously, offering a cleaner, more energy-efficient workspace.
Easily power up to four 24″ Full HD or two 27″ 4K Thinlabs Low-Power Monitors.** Alternatively, you can connect and power standard monitors* using the PoE Dock.
With a two-way USB-C output, the dock supplies power to laptops while seamlessly transmitting audio and video signals from your laptop*** to connected monitors.
Simply plug in your laptop — it will charge, while the monitors power on and display your A/V feed. When your work is done, disconnecting the laptop automatically puts the monitors into sleep mode, conserving energy.
Two additional USB-A ports provide convenient connectivity for peripherals such as a wireless keyboard, mouse, or headset.
Designed with a compact, fanless form factor, the Thinlabs PoE Dock helps you “cut the power cord”, reduce clutter, and improve efficiency in any modern workspace.
*Subject to power consumption and compatibility testing.
**Thinlabs Low Power Monitors are guaranteed to work with the PoE Dock. Monitors made by other companies might exceed the max load available via PoE.
***Computing devices need to support MST – Multi Stream Transport.
