Kensington - USB 3.0 Docking Station Dual DVI/HDMI/VGA sd3500v - Black
About this product
Ultra-thin laptops and 2-in-1 convertibles like the Microsoft Surface Pro offer great mobile productivity and sleek good looks. But that also means they usually come up short on connectivity ports. As a result, you’re constantly plugging and unplugging peripherals. That’s where the SD3500v USB 3.0 Universal Docking Station comes in. It turns one USB port into six so you have access to all your peripherals, including keyboard, mouse, printer and external hard drive. And with dual HD video output, you can add two external monitors to boost productivity. The dock’s two USB 3.0 ports support super-speed data transfer of up to 5 Gbps.
Connect two additional screens with 1 DVI Out & 1 HDMI Out
Expand your workspace by adding additional monitors. Connect your DVI monitor to the DVI port or use the included DVI>VGA adapter to connect your VGA monitor. If you've got an HDMI monitor, you can connect directly into the HDMI out port.
Extend Mode
Extend your workspace by making it bigger. Extend mode allows you to share your whole desktop across multiple screens. Ideal for improved productivity by working with, and viewing, multiple applications at the same time.
Clone Mode
Allows you to replicate the same content on your second display as you do on your master display.
2 Front USB 3.0 Ports
Two fast and powerful USB 3.0 ports are positioned on the front of the dock for when you want to charge a phone or tablet, or transfer data from another device. Headphone and microphone input ports are also conveniently within reach when they’re needed.
4 Rear USB 2.0 Ports

The TAA-compliant Plugable UD-3900 docking station is designed to expand your laptop or desktop’s capabilities by connecting up to ten accessories through a single cable. Whether you’re working with a Windows, Mac, or Chromebook system, the UD-3900 offers a convenient way to connect multiple displays, peripherals, and network access in one hub. It features two HDMI video output ports, to support dual HDMI displays. This setup allows you to mirror or extend your desktop with resolutions up to 1920×1200 @ 60Hz for dual displays, or up to 2560×1440 @ 50Hz on a single native HDMI display. Please note that 4K resolution is not supported. In addition to video outputs, the UD-3900 provides a wired Gigabit Ethernet port with full-duplex support, audio input and output jacks, two USB 3.0 ports for high-speed devices, and four USB 2.0 ports for peripherals like keyboards and mice. The dock is powered by a robust 20W UL-certified power supply to ensure reliable performance for connected devices, though it does not provide charging to the host laptop. Users should keep their laptop charger connected if charging is required. Compatibility is broad but requires specific setup steps for certain systems. Windows 11, 10, 8.x, and 7 support plug and play driver installation via Windows Update, while macOS 10.14 or later requires a manual DisplayLink driver installation, with instructions provided. ChromeOS 100 or later works without additional setup. The dock is not compatible with Linux/Unix systems, DisplayPort outputs, or mixed USB graphics chipsets. HDCP-protected content, such as Blu-ray playback, is not supported, and this dock is not intended for gaming or other graphics-intensive applications. For best results, use the UD-3900 for web browsing, office work, and productivity applications. If you encounter issues such as the dock not powering on or stopping after a short period, try the following steps: confirm the power adapter is securely connected to both the dock and a working outlet, check the power indicator light, reseat all cable connections, update your DisplayLink drivers from Plugable.com, and, if possible, test with another computer. These quick checks resolve most issues, but our U.S.-based support team is ready to help if you need further assistance. In the Box, you will find a UD-3900 docking station, a hybrid USB 3.0 and USB-C cable, a 20W UL-certified power adapter with a AC wall plug, and a quick install guide to get you set up right away. With its combination of connectivity, compatibility, and dedicated customer support, the UD-3900 is built to help you create a more efficient and reliable workspace.

The Plugable UD-3900Z USB 3.0 and USB-C docking station is a reliable USB docking station designed for standardized workstation deployments across Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS environments. As a universal docking station, it enables consistent desk setups across mixed device fleets, expanding laptops and desktops with dual monitors, wired networking, audio, and USB peripherals through a single connection. This USB docking station dual monitor solution supports two HDMI displays up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz and uses DisplayLink technology to enable extended or mirrored desktops on compatible Windows and ChromeOS systems, as well as on Apple Silicon MacBooks including M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, and MacBook Neo models, even on systems that are typically limited to a single native external display. The UD-3900Z provides 10 expansion ports, including 2 HDMI outputs, 2 USB 3.0 ports for high-speed devices, 4 USB 2.0 ports for keyboards, mice, and receivers, Gigabit Ethernet for stable wired network connectivity, and 3.5mm audio input/output. Both USB-C and USB-A host cables are included, allowing this USB A docking station to support legacy systems while also functioning as a modern USB C docking station. The compact vertical design helps reduce cable clutter and fits easily between monitors, making it well suited for hot-desking and shared workspace environments. This dock is HDMI-only and does not support DisplayPort. HDCP is not supported, so encrypted content such as Netflix, Hulu, or Blu-ray will not play. Designed for business applications rather than GPU-intensive workloads, it is not recommended for gaming or full-screen video playback. The included 24W external power supply powers connected accessories but does not charge the host laptop. In the box: UD-3900Z dock (7.5” x 2.8” x 5.3”), 24W power adapter with US wall plug (100-240V, 50/60Hz, 1.5m / 5ft), USB-A (USB 3.0) to USB-B cable (0.9m / 2.95 ft), USB-C to USB-B host cable (2.9m / 9.5 ft), and quick-install guide.
