Convenient USB-based port replication
Easy-to-use port replicators are indispensable for professionals who need both complete portability on the road and maximum productivity in the office. They provide the expansiveness of the desktop environment for mobile users, while offering a single place to manage cables and accessories including an additional monitor for better multitasking.

The Lenovo Enhanced USB Port Replicator with Video offers additional convenience by requiring only a USB 2.0 connection for full port replication functionality. Hot plug connectivity and accessory support enables mobile professionals to dock or un-dock in a matter of seconds. IT departments are likely to appreciate the easy and no-hassle configuration and compatibility of USB.

DisplayLink USB display technology also makes it easy for users to configure their display environment. For instance, users can choose to extend their desktop across both monitors, or view the same desktop on each monitor. Selection is as simple as pushing a button on the front panel of the port replicator.
