Plugable Debuts a New Docking Station and a New Charging Station

— October 20, 2024 — Tech
Plugable's new product lineup includes the TBT-6950PD docking station and the PS3-METERC3 charging station. These two new work desk peripherals offer innovative solutions for users needing enhanced connectivity and power management.

The TBT-6950PD docking station combines Thunderbolt and DisplayLink technologies to support up to four 4K displays. This makes the product particularly useful for professionals and creative workers requiring multi-screen setups. Its compatibility with both Mac and Windows devices, especially base-model Apple Silicon Macs, gives it an edge for users who need flexibility across different platforms. Additionally, the docking station's 96W power delivery ensures that laptops remain charged.

The PS3-METERC3 charging station, on the other hand, features three high-powered USB-C ports, designed for users who need to power multiple devices simultaneously. With its compact design and safety features, it’s ideal for home, office, or travel use. The front-facing LED display allows users to monitor power distribution in real-time, adding an extra level of convenience.
