Introducing the M/Connect 2 — Humanscale's new USB docking station. The M/Connect 2 provides power delivery to USB-C and Thunderbolt notebooks and is backwards compatible to USB 3.0 notebooks. During the transition from USB 3.0, this offers a versatile solution. M/Connect 2 can be retrofitted to any Humanscale Monitor Arm.
With split dock technology, M/Connect 2's innovative design allows all cables to be connected under the desk and keeps the work area clear. Cables that are cluttered in the workspace limit accessibility to connections the user might require. An accessible hub on the desk allows the user to get easy access to data, charging and audio ports. This increases the level of comfort, usability and performance for the user.

The Design Story
The Humanscale Design Team reinvented USB docking stations. Those devices created a mess of cable clutter. With the creation of the M/Connect Docking Station, a sleek, more efficient, and more accessible docking solution that eliminates cable clutter. The design of the M/Connect focused on function, purpose, and ergonomics. This resulted in a revolutionary, all-in-one monitor arm base with USB 3.0, a dual-video docking station, actively supporting workers in an adaptive workspace.
"The traditional office has been changing. People are coming and going, plugging in who-knows-how-many devices into a preset workstation, and expecting everything to work seamlessly. That’s the requirement."
– Robert Volek, Designer
