This portable expansion module allows you to connect through a single USB connection up to 4 USB devices, a network (Ethernet/LAN) connection, speakers and microphone, PS/2 mouse and keyboard, a serial and a parallel device. Also, the slot lock and the universal lock support provided help you secure your docking station to your desktop. The port replicator also features Always On technology, USB Power Port providing twice the USB specification for higher power requirement devices, and USB ports that are widely spaced to accommodate larger adapters. Always On provides power to the USB ports even when the notebook is shut-down, disconnected from the docking station or in hibernate/stand-by mode. This allows USB devices that charge via the USB port to keep charging under any circumstance.
