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 1600×1200(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.
Features
• Acts as a USB 2.0 hub allowing you to connect a keyboard, mouse, printer, audio devices, and more
• Connect to an external monitor, with resolutions up to 1600×1200
• Provides greater flexibility for using your notebook as a desktop

The dock has four rubber feet on both sides so that you arrange however you want without fear of scratching either your desk surface or your new device. StarTech bundles a small ‘wall wart’-styled adapter to supply power to the unit as well as a mini-usb cord to plug the dock into your computer. Since the unit requires power to run the networking, audio and video subsystems, the unit does need to be plugged in to work. On the plus side, this means that the four extra USB ports are externally powered, making this an excellent means by which to charge portable devices.

Setup is relatively quick and easy, consisting of plugging everything into the dock and installing some software. I currently have a USB mouse and keyboard plugged in, plus a USB-to-DVI DisplayLink adapter powering a 19-inch monitor. I’m running the VGA connection out to another 19-inch monitor and I’ve got a cable plugged into the Ethernet port as well. So, in total, I’m running three monitors (two 19-inchers plus my laptop display), an external mouse and keyboard, and an Ethernet connection.
