Thunderbolt™ 3 on the go!
Notebooks with Thunderbolt™ 3 ports are becoming more and more popular, but appropriate DockingStations are usually only available as stationary solutions with a very large number of additional ports. But what if you are on the go and don‘t want to do without the extra ports you have come to love? Enjoy the benefits of the IB-DK406-TB3 - one of the first mobile and bus-powered Thunderbolt™ 3 DockingStations on the market.
Display, Gigabit Ethernet & USB expansion
A lack of difference is the biggest drawback of ultra-thin notebooks. The DockingStation IB-DK406-TB3 is the ideal remedy for this problem because it adds two DisplayPort™ interfaces, Gigabit Ethernet, and one USB Type-A interface to any Thunderbolt™ 3 notebooks.
High resolution and MST function
Resolutions of up to 4K@60 Hz each for two monitors connected via DisplayPort™ sharpens your high-resolution experience greatly. Using the two DisplayPort™ interfaces, you can mirror or expand your main screen. If your system also supports the MST mode, you can display the same or different content on the connected additional monitors.

Why does my wireless mouse or keyboard look sluggish or does not work properly when used with the DockingStation?
Most USB wireless mouse and keyboard receivers work in the 2.4 GHz band. Connecting the receiver to any USB 3.0 port can cause interference that can affect the performance of the device. The most effective method is to add a short USB 2.0 extension cable between the DockingStation and receiver to mitigate the effect, and many wireless keyboards and mice are therefore supplied with such a cable.
