One connector. A thousand possibilities. And a few pitfalls.
Connect the notebook, charge it, use two displays, transfer data, and connect to the network at the same time – today, a single USB-C cable is supposed to connect the entire workstation.
In theory, that sounds simple. In practice, all it takes is a single component that doesn't play along: The notebook charges too slowly. The second monitor stays black. The docking station doesn't deliver the expected performance. Or the fast network adapter ends at an uplink that's undersized.
The problem: USB-C is just the connector. What matters is the system behind it.
Our free white paper shows you what really matters when planning modern workstations – technically sound, clearly explained, and with concrete examples from practice.

What you'll learn in the white paper
- Why 100 watts doesn't automatically mean 100 watts
How the available power is distributed between docking station, peripherals, and notebook – and why Power Delivery must be correctly dimensioned.
- Why not all USB-C is the same
Same connector, completely different capabilities: data rate, charging power, and video transmission depend on the actual technical specification.
- Why the second monitor sometimes stays black
What role DisplayPort Alt Mode, available bandwidth, docking station, and adapter play.
- Why the operating system also plays a role
The same docking station can support different functions and display configurations depending on the operating system.
- Why adapters are more than just connectors
Chipset, driver, signal direction, and host function determine whether a connection actually works.
- Why a fast network adapter doesn't yet make a fast network
From the workstation via data outlet, patch panel, and switch to the backbone: where hidden bottlenecks can be found.
- How to technically check new workstation solutions in 15 minutes
With a compact checklist for host, cable, docking station, displays, network, and mechanics.
For everyone who doesn't just equip workspaces, but also plans them reliably
This white paper will help you to
✓ identify technical bottlenecks early on
✓ classify USB-C components correctly
✓ design docking stations and power supplies to meet requirements
✓ avoid display and adapter problems
✓ consider the operating system and hardware together
✓ plan the workplace and network infrastructure together
✓ standardize recurring requirements
And you'll receive a 15-minute assessment that can help identify many potential problems even before procurement.
