StarTech rolls out USB to VGA 4-in-1 Docking Station

**absolute55** · 10-09-2008

The USBVGADOCK is a USB to VGA converter / adapter and offers the functionality of a docking station. The USB to VGA 4-in-1 docking station converts a single USB 2.0 port into multiple connection ports, including a VGA Port, 10/100 RJ45 network port, dual (3.5mm phono) audio ports and four additional USB 2.0 ports!

A stylish addition to any desktop or notebook computer, USBVGADOCK supports an impressive 1600x1200(32-bit) resolution for connected VGA Monitors, while helping to save time when swapping peripherals from one computer to another - now, instead of disconnecting devices like speakers and USB peripherals (scanners, printers, webcams etc.) in order to re-connect them to another computer, all that is required is to remove the single USB 2.0 connection, and insert it into an available USB 2.0 port on the secondary computer.
