Hubs, Monitors, Keyboards & Mice

In order to connect your laptop and peripherals together you will need a hub. Dell have introduced a Hub Monitor that does this super neatly. The hub monitor results in a single cable to connect your laptop to the monitor and all of your other peripherals.

💡

If you have a Mac or existing monitor(s) you may need to use a standalone dock solution. A USB-C dock will provide a single cable to your laptop and connect to your monitor(s) and peripherals. NOTE that Mac’s with the M1 chip DO NOT SUPPORT MULTIPLE DISPLAYS and are unsuitable for some use cases.

The Dell items are available from the “Oxford Standards” in Dell Premier/Dell Oracle Punchout.
