LAS VEGAS (CES® 2023) – January 3, 2023 – Targus®, a leader in universal docking solutions and tech accessories, announced the retail availability of its first-to-market hybrid/universal docks that support four 4K displays or a single 8K display plus two 4K displays via a single USB-C cable. Both state-of-the-art docks will be on display at CES® 2023, Jan. 5-8 in Las Vegas.
“Today’s professionals need to work productively from anywhere, with the advantage of multiple monitors and greater security,” says Andrew Corkill, Vice President of Global Marketing & eCommerce at Targus. “Our new DOCK710 and DOCK720 deliver that productivity, performance, and security in a compact design to maintain a clutter-free workspace.”
DOCK710 USB-C® Hybrid/Universal 4K Quad Docking Station with 100W PD and DOCK720 USB-C Hybrid/Universal 4K Quad Docking Station with 100W PD and Fingerprint ID use DP Alt Mode and DisplayLink® technology from Synaptics, making them compatible with most major operating systems*.
For optimal security – ensuring the right users are accessing the right devices – DOCK720 also incorporates a bio-authentication fingerprint reader** into the power button for a convenient and secure way to power-up the device and authenticate directly through it, which is made possible by Synaptics’ SentryPoint® biometrics technology. This is especially beneficial to businesses that need enhanced protection and privacy of sensitive data when being accessed in flexible work environments.
“Targus is at the cutting edge of docking station design for high-productivity workers on the move,” says Jeff Lukanc, Synaptics’ VP of Video Interface Marketing. “Their customers demand the best, so we’re delighted they have chosen to combine our DisplayLink and SentryPoint technologies to ensure both optimum 4K video performance and a convenient, seamless, and secure user experience.”
Both docks provide convenient charging capabilities, as well, with up to 100W to simultaneously charge your PC, as well as a second USB-C port (27W with DOCK720) and (7.5W with DOCK710), and a fast-charging USB-A port (up to 12W) to power a phone or other smaller accessories. Equipped with multiple ports, their USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (fast charging), and three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, make it simple to connect the latest keyboards, exterior drives, and other peripherals to customize your workspace experience.
