As businesses continue to embrace flexible work models, hot-desking and shared workspaces are becoming increasingly common.

As of October 2024, research suggests that 41% of UK workers engage in remote work at least part of the week, with 28% adopting a hybrid model and 13% working from home full-time.

Additionally, 85% of employees working remotely in the UK want a hybrid model, reinforcing the need for technology supporting seamless transitions between locations.

Versatile connectivity

The Apricorn docking station provides a range of connectivity options, with 11 ports, including three Thunderbolt 4 (40Gbps) ports, allowing users to connect and power various devices with ease as well as expanding a single display into multiple screens.

Streamlined workspaces

The Thunderbolt port supports fast file transfers, reducing wait times for large data transfers, reducing downtime and maximising productivity. A single Thunderbolt 4 cable simultaneously delivers instant connectivity and power to any device running Windows 10 or later, or MacOS® 11 or later via Thunderbolt 3, 4, USB-C, and USB-4 connection ports.

With a compact design and broad functionality, the docking station is ideal for professionals looking to streamline their workspaces while maintaining the flexibility to scale as needed. This new product reflects Apricorn's focus on providing reliable, high-performance solutions for modern connectivity needs.

Flexible workstations

Ultimate security

The docking station is designed with Apricorn’s legacy of innovation in mind. It seamlessly complements Apricorn’s portfolio of hardware-encrypted storage solutions, which are trusted by organizations in highly regulated industries including finance, healthcare, and government.

The docking station offers enhanced security measures and is equipped with two Kensington Security slots to prevent unauthorized removal or theft of the device. When used alongside Apricorn’s secure drives, professionals can maintain strict control over their data, whether in the office or working remotely.
