Dock. -- nm - Mop Oct 4, 10:38
It’s a docking station. A branded one like that is going to be expensive. - spamlet Oct 4, 10:38 6
- (also backordered at the manufacturer.) -- nm - amanda jeans Oct 4, 11:09 4
  - Docks are IMPOSSIBLE to get right now. We're buying them from anywhere we can find them. CDW backordered for like 6 months -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:11 2
    - I have one at home I bought on ebay in 2019 for like $60. then I was like "this is an extravagance." now I am like "that was a genius move." -- nm - amanda jeans Oct 4, 11:14 1
      - I still have not received an adequate full explanation for why every supply chain is falling apart at the same time. - ty97 Oct 4, 11:18
  - We literally can’t move forward on our CRM upgrade because we can’t order servers atm. -- nm - spamlet Oct 4, 11:10
- Yup, this. I have a Dell one as well, probably going to run you $100-$200 -- nm - JaxSean Oct 4, 10:40
What does it do / is there a model number on the bottom? -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 10:37
Actually still called a Docking Station (USB-C). Plug it in and has all the ports on it. -- nm* - budice Oct 4, 10:37 5
- Also note, there are a wide variety of these. If you are replacing it, note the number and type of ports (USB, Ethernet/Network, HDMI, DisplayPort) - oblique Oct 4, 10:38 2
  - there are some dongles that can replace simple docks. I have one of those at home. it has usbc, hdmi, usb reg. works in a pinch. -- nm - amanda jeans Oct 4, 11:16
  - Yup. I have 2 different Dell docking stations, and they're very different (i.e., they're not interchangeable.) -- nm - JaxSean Oct 4, 10:43
- oo, you knew it by sight. -- nm - tattoo daddy Oct 4, 10:38 1
  - yeah, I'm impressed -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 10:41
I don't know from the photo. What does it do? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 10:37 1
- same. can we see some ports? or a model number? -- nm - tattoo daddy Oct 4, 10:37
