Action Star Technology, a Taiwanese OEM/ODM of USB productivity solutions, will showcase its industry-leading docking solutions at Computex 2023. The company will offer the very first live demonstrations of its three all-new USB4™ penta-4K120, wireless, and eco-responsible docking stations that aim to help users maximize productivity, performance, and sustainability.
Action Star Technology’s USB docking solutions to be unveiled at Computex 2023 include:
USB4: Supercharged Penta-4K120 Performance
USB4 is the latest technology in connectivity and expansion. Pairing the versatility of USB with the performance of Thunderbolt™ 3 and Thunderbolt 4, USB4 offers compatibility and feature parity with all these technologies.
Action Star’s USB4 docking stations are the world’s first docking stations to leverage USB4, Synaptics™ VMM9430, and DisplayLink™ DL-7400 to enable connections to more monitors at higher resolutions and refresh rates.
Action Star’s USB4 Penta-4K120 Docking Station offers several benefits over other docks:

Wireless: Dual 4K/60Hz with Imperceptible Latency
Anyone who has tried to wirelessly cast their desktop understands how underwhelming the experience can be.

Eco-responsibility: Designed for Sustainability
As consumers and businesses become increasingly aware of their impact on the environment, products need to be built with a sense of eco-responsibility. Action Star is committed to creating products that help reduce electronic waste.
Action Star’s Dual PD-in Docking Station was designed with eco-responsibility in mind:
• Allows input from a second USB-C charger to boost laptop charging efficiency
• Housing is made with post-consumer recycled plastics
Using PCR materials, and designing for the reuse of old USB-C chargers, helps reduce e-waste, said Leo Yu, General Manager of Action Star Technologies. “A key focus for Action Star in the coming years will be eco-responsibility,” Yu said. “We will be adopting new technologies that boost energy efficiency, using PCR materials to keep them out of landfills, pursuing ecolabel certifications, and designing products that give new purpose to obsolete devices.”
