Popular peripheral maker Satechi is launching a new compact hub for Macs called Aluminum Mini Docking Station. The new hub expands one USB 3 port into four USB 3 ports plus adds access other networking and audio/video ports. Like a lot of other Satechi hardware, Aluminum Mini Docking Station is color-matched in silver to fit in with an iMac or Mac mini too.
Specifically, Aluminum Mini Docking Station includes two front-facing USB 3 ports and a front-facing 3.5mm audio port plus two more USB 3 ports on the back next to a gigabit Ethernet port, HDMI port, and DVI video port. Satechi says the HDMI port supports 4K output or multiple monitors simultaneously with the DVI out. The specifications do not list the refresh rate but typical for Displaylink USB 3 is 30Hz at 4K or 60-120 at 1080P.
In terms of miniaturization and compactness, Satechi’s Aluminum Mini Docking Station is a 3.7-inch by 3.7-inch box that measures 1.75-inches tall.
This docking station can be used to participate on multiple networks, replace damaged Ethernet ports, add a physical network connection to wireless-only systems, and replace network cards. The unit supports 10/100/1000Mbps for high-speed connectivity, important for file sharing, downloads, streaming, web videos, and more.
