With M/Connect 2

Description

Introducing M/Connect 2 - a new USB docking station that provides power delivery to USB-C and Thunderbolt notebooks while being backwards compatible to USB 3.0 notebooks. This offers a universal solution during the transition from USB 3.0. M/Connect 2 can be integrated into any Humanscale Monitor Arm or be independently mounted to the desk without an arm.

M/Connect 2's innovative split dock technology allows all cables to be connected under the desk and off the work surface, which limits accessibility to connections the user doesn't require. An easily accessible hub on the desk provides the user with immediate access to data, charging and audio ports.

By increasing usable workspace, providing greater accessibility to required ports, eliminating cable clutter and offering complete monitor adjustability, M/Connect 2 vastly improves the comfort, health and performance of today's computer user.

M/Connect 2 is a next-generation USB docking station that keeps all your devices connected through a single hub of power and data. With a unique split dock design, M/Connect 2 provides multiple connection options beneath the desk while keeping all essential ports above the work surface and conveniently within reach.
