Overview

The UC-2000 and UC-2000L USB Docking Stations are port replicators that allow you to connect standard desktop peripherals (keyboard, mouse, modem, printer, scanner, etc.), to virtually any notebook by means of a single USB connection.

In addition to ports for two USB peripheral devices, the UC-2000 and UC-2000L incorporate traditional serial, parallel, mouse, and keyboard ports so you don’t have to lose any of your current peripheral investments. The UC-2000L also contains an ethernet port for convenient networking.

By combining the functionality of using full-sized desktop PC peripherals with the convenience of using a portable notebook as your primary computer, your notebook can now be your office PC.

Just connect all your peripherals to the UC-2000 or UC-2000L; make one simple USB cable connection to your notebook; and you have all the convenience of a desktop computer at your fingertips. When it’s time to get on the road, simply unplug the one USB cable and you are ready to travel.

To accomodate all of your peripheral connectivity needs, you can daisy chain USB hubs and USB devices to the UC-2000 or UC-2000L. Easy USB plug and play installation makes adding new USB hardware a breeze. Complex installation routines are eliminated, IRQ conflicts are a thing of the past, and there is no more hassle trying to keep things synchronized between your notebook and office PCs.
