Overview

The U342-HGU3 USB 3.0 Docking Station expands the capabilities of your Microsoft® Surface® or Surface Pro by adding Gigabit Ethernet access, a 4K-enabled HDMI monitor, and up to three USB peripherals, such as a printer, scanner and external hard drive. It’s compatible with all Surface models and versions. Its built-in stretching bracket allows it to fit perfectly on the Surface kickstand. No software or drivers are needed.

Access a 10/100/1000 Mbps wired network without an internal Ethernet card. The RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet connection complies with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab standards and supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, as well as full- and half-duplex operations, Wake-on-LAN, jumbo frames, VLAN tagging and auto-MDIX. It also supports Checksum Offload Engine (COE) to reduce CPU loading.

The USB 3.0 ports achieve data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps without compromising signal quality. They’re backward compatible with previous USB generations.

You can also stream movies, video games and other video content from your Surface device to a larger 4K-enabled television or monitor. Just connect the included Mini DisplayPort™ cable between the U342-HGU3’s Mini DisplayPort and your Surface. Then connect an HDMI cable (sold separately) between the U342-HGU3 and the television or monitor to see UHD video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (4K x 2K) @ 24/25/30Hz.
