Universal Docking Station

A savvy technology investment for evolving and mixed computer environments, the SD4700P connects to any laptop equipped with USB-C orUSB-A.0, 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 60W Power Splitter (K38310NA)

While  the  SD4700P  Docking  Station  already  provides  Power  Delivery  (PD)  for  USB-C  enabled  devices  supporting  PD,  the optional  60W  USB  3.0  Power  Splitter (K38310NA) 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  standardized  docking  solution  as  you  crossover  from  USB  3.0  to  USB-C  enabled  mobile  devices.
