Perth, March 24: D-Link Australia and New Zealand has launched the DUF-E01, a 14-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 docking station aimed at professionals, content creators and users who want to turn a laptop into a full workstation.
The new dock supports up to three displays and combines high-speed data transfer, wired networking, card readers, audio and laptop charging in a single unit.
According to D-Link, the DUF-E01 is designed for users working with thinner laptops that have fewer built-in ports, offering a one-cable setup for desk-based work.
“The DUF-E01 is designed for people who use their laptop as a primary computer and need it to punch well above its weight the moment it hits the desk,” said Graeme Reardon, Managing Director of D-Link Australia and New Zealand.
The docking station includes Thunderbolt 4 connectivity with speeds of up to 40Gbps, along with HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 and an additional Thunderbolt 4 output for multi-screen support.
D-Link said the dock can deliver up to 60W of charging through the upstream Thunderbolt 4 port, while also supporting Gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD card slots, a 3.5mm combo audio jack and a power button that controls all ports at once.
The DUF-E01 features an aluminium alloy casing, which D-Link says helps with passive heat management, and comes with a detachable magnetic base for flat or vertical placement.
The dock is compatible with Windows and macOS devices equipped with Thunderbolt 4, although D-Link noted that full functionality depends on Thunderbolt 4 certification on the host device.
The DUF-E01 is available now in Australia and New Zealand through D-Link and authorised resellers for AU$599.95 and NZ$699.99 respectively.
