Computer Docking Station

摘要

A computer docking station devised to save desktop space while also eliminating the presence of permanent cables that can clutter the work surface is disclosed. The computer docking station utilizes a split design, with a lower dock subassembly positioned beneath the work surface for housing the permanent cables necessary for the computer workstation to operate and an upper dock subassembly comprising one or more data ports positioned on top of the work surface. A monitor arm mount can be attached to, or integrated into, the upper dock subassembly, thereby alleviating the need for a separate monitor arm mount without negatively impacting the docking station's footprint.

主权项

1. A computer docking, station comprising:
a) an upper dock subassembly adapted to be positioned on top of a work surface, the upper dock subassembly comprising a data port hub having one or more active data ports; b) a lower dock subassembly adapted to be positioned beneath the work surface, the lower dock subassembly comprising a housing having one or more passive data ports; c) a bracket connecting the lower dock subassembly to the upper dock subassembly; and d) one or more bridge cables operatively connecting the one or more active data ports of the upper dock subassembly to the one or more passive data ports of the lower dock subassembly.
