Kensington

Workspace Security, Ergonomic Input, and Single-Cable Docking for the Enterprise Desktop

Kensington builds the privacy screens, docking stations, ergonomic mice, trackballs, and cable locks that IT departments standardize on when securing and optimizing the modern workspace across thousands of desks. The catalog spans privacy filters for laptops from 12 to 17 inches and monitors up to 34 inches, USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 docking stations with multi-monitor output and power delivery, and ergonomic pointing devices designed in collaboration with ergonomic researchers to reduce repetitive strain injuries. With the Kensington Security Slot built into virtually every business laptop manufactured today, Kensington has been defining workspace security and input standards for over three decades.

Kensington for Every Environment

• Corporate offices and open floor plans — privacy screens block side-angle viewing on monitors and laptops to protect sensitive data in shared workspaces where shoulder surfing is a compliance concern for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and financial services regulations
• Hybrid and hot-desking environments — SD and LD series docking stations deliver single-cable connections with dual 4K display output, Gigabit Ethernet, and up to 100W power delivery so employees can dock and undock without crawling under desks
• Healthcare and call center workstations — Pro Fit vertical mice and Expert Mouse trackballs promote neutral wrist posture through extended shifts, reducing the repetitive strain injuries that drive absenteeism in keyboard-intensive roles
• Mobile professionals and field workers — slim privacy filters with magnetic snap-on attachment protect laptop screens during air travel, client meetings, and coworking sessions where visual privacy changes from minute to minute
• Government and education institutions — MicroSaver and ClickSafe cable locks physically secure laptops, projectors, and other portable equipment in shared labs, libraries, and public-access workstations where theft prevention is mandatory

How to Choose the Right Kensington Product

Kensington organizes its lineup around three core categories: visual privacy, docking and connectivity, and ergonomic input. Selecting the right product requires matching screen size, docking protocol, or ergonomic need to the specific model designed for that scenario.

Privacy Screen Sizing and Attachment

Kensington privacy filters are manufactured to exact screen dimensions, so selecting the correct diagonal size and aspect ratio is critical for full coverage without light gaps at the edges. Attachment options include adhesive strips for permanent installation on dedicated workstations, slide-mount tabs that allow removal when the screen needs to be shared during presentations, and magnetic snap-on frames that enable instant on-off switching for mobile professionals who alternate between private and collaborative work. For compliance-driven environments, Kensington also offers privacy screens with a matte anti-glare finish on the reverse side, giving users a secondary screen treatment when visual privacy is not needed.

Docking Protocol: USB-C, Thunderbolt 4, and Universal USB 3.0

USB-C docking stations in the SD4700P and SD4900P series use DisplayLink technology to support dual monitors at up to 4K resolution on any USB-C laptop, making them the broadest-compatibility option for mixed-fleet environments where Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Apple laptops coexist. Thunderbolt 4 docks like the SD5780T deliver native dual 4K or single 8K output with higher bandwidth and lower latency, suited for creative professionals and power users who need pixel-perfect display output without compression. Universal USB 3.0 docks extend multi-monitor capability to older laptops that lack USB-C entirely, protecting the organization's investment in existing hardware while still providing a modern docking experience.
