The docking station powers multiple peripherals at once and delivers high-speed data transfer through its integrated Thunderbolt ports, offering reliability, versatility and security for the flexible workforce.

Flexible working

As businesses continue to embrace flexible work models, hot-desking and shared workspaces are becoming increasingly common.

Apricorn says that as of October 2024, research suggests that 41% of UK workers engage in remote work at least part of the week with 28% adopting a hybrid model and 13% working from home full-time.

Additionally, 85% of employees working remotely in the UK want a hybrid model, reinforcing the need for technology supporting transitions between locations.

The Apricorn docking station provides a range of connectivity options with 11 ports, including three Thunderbolt 4 (40Gbps) ports, allowing users to connect and power various devices.

The Thunderbolt port supports fast file transfers, reducing wait times for large data transfers, reducing downtime and maximising productivity, the company notes.

The company states that a single Thunderbolt 4 cable simultaneously delivers instant connectivity and power to any device running Windows 10 or later, or MacOS 11 or later via Thunderbolt 3, 4, USB-C and USB-4 connection ports,
