The modular USB-C hub uses Framework's expansion standard, and its Tool Cards double as bench tools.

There's no shortage of USB hubs and docks that can extend the functionality of your computer by giving you more ports when you need them. But the DockFrame stands out by offering a modular system that allows you to swap out ports without buying a whole new USB dock. How? By leveraging Framework's ecosystem of Expansion cards... and building on it.

Here's my thought on 💭 DockFrame - Modular USB-C Hub with Framework-Compatible Expans... Dockframe looks like a really cool concept using the framework tiles…

Live and no longer unplugged.

DockFrame is a modular USB-C hub that accepts Framework-compatible Expansion Cards and custom Tool Cards. Dock once, reconfigure whenever.

DockFrame ist der vielleicht vielseitigste USB-C-Hub der Welt, denn der Hub nutzt dieselben Module wie der Framework Laptop. So können nicht nur die verfügbaren Anschlüsse frei zusammengestellt werden, es ist auch möglich, eine Mini-SSD zu installieren oder die Funktionalität zu erweitern.

Modular USB Type-C Hub not only accepts Framework Expansion Cards but in-house add-ons to turn it into a desktop workbench, too.

Лабораторията за хардуерен дизайн HW Media Lab представи иновативен проект, насочен към професионалистите и технологичните ентусиасти – модулната док станция DockFrame. За разлика от стандартните решения на пазара, това устройство не е просто USB хъб, а цялостна екосистема тип „конструктор“, която позволява на потребителя сам да конфигурира нужните му интерфейси и инструменти за мониторинг. Архитектура и модулна концепция Основната иновация в DockFrame е неговата гъвкавост. Устройството се състои от основно шаси, в което могат да се инсталират различни функционални модули. Това превръща док станцията в хибрид между периферен хъб и измервателна апаратура.

The first photos of the DockFrame, a modular USB-C hub built around the Framework-compatible Expansion Card standard, were released over the weekend.

The maker is also releasing a range of custom ‘Tool Cards.’
