Hybrid USB-C and USB-A connectivity

The ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C with USB-A Dock (40AF) expands the capabilities of most laptops, new or old, making it ideal for enterprise customers with mixed-PC or shared-desk environments. It includes a USB-C to USB-A adaptor so it can provide port replication to non-Lenovo or USB-C notebooks as well.

For mixed fleets and shared desks

This dock suits organisations that need one solution for both legacy USB-A laptops and newer USB-C models, plus enterprise manageability such as PXE boot and MAC address pass-through. Buyers who need native USB-C single-cable docking without an adaptor should consider a dedicated USB-C dock.

Three USB 3.1 ports and dual UHD 4K

The dock delivers three high-speed USB 3.1 ports and supports up to dual UHD 4K resolution, along with rapid charging on ThinkPad notebooks. This combination of port count, video capability and charging determines whether it matches a specific workstation setup.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop need a USB-C or USB-A port to use the 40AF dock?

The dock connects via USB-C and includes a USB-C to USB-A adaptor so it works with either port type on your laptop.

Will the dock’s three USB 3.1 ports work at full speed if I connect it through the supplied USB-A adaptor?

When used with the USB-C to USB-A adaptor the dock still provides three USB 3.1 ports, though speed depends on your laptop’s USB-A capability.

How can I confirm the dock is delivering video to two external displays after setup?

Open your display settings and verify that both external monitors are detected and showing a UHD 4K signal.
