The port replicator is best suited for use on a desk top and is designed for use with the FMWDS3 folding desk stand. The port replicator replicates ports that are built into the pen tablet and adds connectivity that is not built in. Typically, the port replicator is connected to peripheral computer equipment and the pen tablet can then be inserted in the port replicator when the peripheral equipment is needed.

High-Usage Cradle

The high-usage cradle is designed for applications where the pen tablet is inserted into and removed from the cradle frequently. The high-usage cradle is equipped with special “high-usage” connector pins that are designed to withstand a high number of pen tablet insertion and removal operations. This cradle is best suited for desk-top or counter-top installations where the cradle remains stationary. Locking versions are equipped with a tubular lock which allows you to lock the pen tablet into the cradle. The high-usage cradle assembly includes the cradle module and the cradle base. An AC adapter must also be installed in the cradle base if the cradle is to provide power to the system. (An AC adapter is shipped with each pen tablet and can also be purchased separately.)
