Zero-footprint mounting maximizes desktop space and reduces cable clutter by enabling the user to mount the docking station out of the way using a mounting bracket (K34050WW), sold separately.
Portable USB4 ® Dock for Surface Devices Maximizes Productivity while Reducing Travel Bulk
Built in collaboration with Microsoft, the innovative MD125U4 USB4 ® Portable Docking Station leverages the power of USB4 ® to maximize productivity when using the Surface device at the desk or on the go.

The MD125U4, which can be powered by a USB-C power adapter or by the Surface device battery, supports USB4 ®, Thunderbolt™ 3, Thunderbolt™ 4, and USB-C 3.2 devices. The dock supports a single monitor up to 8K @ 30Hz or dual monitors up to 4K @ 120Hz through two HDMI ® 2.1 ports. One USB-C 3.2 Gen2 port, two USB-a 3.2 Gen2 ports, and one 2.5Gbps Ethernet port enable the connection of a variety of accessories without the need for additional adapters.
Driverless Dock Enables Users of USB-C Enabled Surface Devices to Work on Multiple Screens
Named 2022 Designed for Surface Product of the Year by Microsoft, the SD4845P USB-C 10Gbps Triple Video Driverless Docking Station with 85W Power Delivery enables a single USB-C cable to provide a plug-and-play connection for up to three 1080p monitors, with no need for drivers, dongles, or adapters. Featuring 85W power delivery, the SD4845P uses the same USB-C cable to keep the Surface device charged, and enables the use of a mouse, keyboard, and other USB accessories connected to the dock.
The SD4845P, which incorporates two DisplayPort™++ 1.4 ports and one HDMI ® 2.0b port, supports up to single 4K @ 60Hz, dual 1440p @ 60Hz, and triple 1080p @ 60Hz.
