The HP Thunderbolt G2 Docking Station 3TR87AA is a professional docking solution designed for users who want to transform a compatible laptop or mobile workstation into a complete desktop-style workstation. Instead of connecting monitors, keyboard, mouse, network cable, USB devices and other peripherals individually to a laptop, the HP Thunderbolt G2 provides a centralized connection point for a wide range of workstation accessories.
The 3TR87AA is the 230W version of the HP Thunderbolt Dock G2 and comes with a Combo Cable. It provides two DisplayPort outputs, one VGA port, USB ports, USB-C connectivity, Gigabit Ethernet, audio and Thunderbolt connectivity.
For compatible systems, the dock can provide up to 100W of power to the host laptop. The actual charging capability depends on the connected computer's USB-C/Thunderbolt implementation and power requirements.
The dock is particularly suitable for business laptops, HP EliteBook systems, HP ZBook mobile workstations, corporate offices, professional workstations, IT departments, home offices and hybrid-work environments.

The HP Thunderbolt G2 Docking Station 3TR87AA is designed for professionals who rely on laptops but need the connectivity and convenience of a desktop workstation when working at a fixed location.
Modern laptops are increasingly compact and may provide only a small number of physical ports. Connecting several monitors, USB accessories, wired Ethernet and other devices can therefore become inconvenient. A professional docking station solves this problem by keeping workstation peripherals connected to a central device.
The HP Thunderbolt G2 provides a broad selection of connectivity options through a single docking platform. It includes two DisplayPort outputs and one VGA output, allowing users to connect compatible modern monitors as well as legacy VGA displays or projectors.
On compatible systems, the dock supports dual external 4K displays at 60Hz, making it useful for users who need additional screen space for spreadsheets, financial applications, ERP systems, programming, dashboards, design applications and other professional workloads.
The 3TR87AA is equipped with a 230W power supply. Compatible host computers can receive up to 100W of power through the docking connection, helping reduce cable clutter on the workstation. High-power mobile workstations that require more than the dock's supported host power may still require their original AC adapter.
For peripheral connectivity, the HP Thunderbolt G2 provides USB-A and USB-C ports for compatible keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, external storage, webcams and other accessories.
The integrated Gigabit Ethernet port provides wired network connectivity, which can be particularly useful in corporate environments where users require stable network access.
The dock also supports selected enterprise management capabilities on compatible HP systems, including features such as Wake on LAN, MAC Address Pass-Through and PXE Boot.
With its compact 98 × 98 × 69 mm form factor, the HP Thunderbolt G2 can fit comfortably on a professional desk without taking up significant workspace.

The HP Thunderbolt G2 3TR87AA is particularly useful for users who need multiple external displays.
2 × DisplayPort
1 × VGA
Compatible systems can support dual external 4K displays at 60Hz.
This can provide a significant productivity advantage for users who regularly work with multiple applications simultaneously.
For example:
Monitor 1: Excel / accounting software
Monitor 2: ERP / browser / email
Laptop display: Communication, reference documents or monitoring
However, the actual display configuration depends on the laptop's graphics hardware, Thunderbolt/USB-C implementation and operating system.
The HP Thunderbolt G2 3TR87AA is supplied with a 230W AC power adapter.
It can provide up to 100W to a compatible host system.
This distinction is important when purchasing the product.
230W = dock power supply capacity
Up to 100W = maximum supported host power delivery
A high-performance mobile workstation that requires more than 100W may still need its original HP AC adapter.
Connect a business laptop to external monitors, Ethernet, keyboard, mouse, printer and other office peripherals.
Create a clean professional desk setup while keeping the laptop as the primary computer.
