Lenovo ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C with USB-A Dock Wired USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) Type-C Black

The ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C with USB-A Dock expands the connectivity and functionality of most laptops, new or old, by offering wired docking with USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance and a compact, black enclosure. It supports up to dual UHD 4K displays, includes Ethernet LAN up to 1000 Mbit/s, and delivers power and rapid charging for compatible ThinkPad notebooks. The dock ships with a USB-C to USB-A adapter so it can provide port replication for non-USB-C or non-Lenovo laptops.

Advantages

It includes enterprise-class features such as PXE boot and MAC address pass-through for manageability in mixed-PC or shared-desk environments. The compact dimensions (210 mm x 80 mm x 30 mm) and 0.48 kg weight make it suitable for both office and home setups, and the included USB-C to USB-A adapter increases compatibility with older systems.
