RAM Mounts Uni-Conn spring dock lockable (RAM-GDS-DOCKL-V12-U1CPU)

Why does the lockable RAM Mounts Uni-Conn spring-loaded dock provide maximum protection and comfort?

The combination of a coil-spring mechanism and a key lock makes the lockable RAM Mounts Uni-Conn spring-loaded dock (RAM-GDS-DOCKL-V12-U1CPU) the most comprehensive docking station in the GDS Uni-Conn range. The integrated spring holds the tablet securely in the cradle and compensates for vibrations that occur particularly in vehicle use. The key lock provides additional theft protection by securing the device against unauthorized removal. Power is supplied via USB-C with an output of 15W at a voltage of 5 to 12 volts. The integrated pogo pins provide a reliable connection for charging and data transfer. Insertion is done by plugging the GDS Uni-Conn adapter into the octagon port and pushing it upward until the bottom can be seated in the dock. With the AMPS 2-hole pattern, the docking station can be flexibly mounted to various RAM Mounts mounting systems. For correct operation, the Uni-Conn adapter RAM-GDS-U1U must be mounted on the IntelliSkin protective sleeve.

What advantages does the combination of spring and key lock offer?

The spring-loaded docking station with key lock combines two essential features in one product. The spring provides a secure hold of the tablet even under strong vibrations and at the same time allows quick one-handed docking and undocking. The key lock complements this mechanism with theft protection, which is particularly relevant in publicly accessible areas or vehicles with changing drivers. Compared to the spring-loaded variant without a lock, this version has the advantage that the tablet can only be removed by authorized persons. Compared to the snap-in variant with a lock, the spring-loaded version is convincing thanks to its vibration-damping mechanism, which better protects the tablet from shocks. The compact incoming cable length of approximately 100 mm is optimized for tight installation conditions in vehicles. During installation planning, the position of the key lock should be considered to ensure convenient access to the lock.

For which use scenarios is the lockable spring dock particularly suitable?

The lockable spring dock is particularly suitable for scenarios where both vibration protection and theft prevention are required. In delivery vehicles and vans that are frequently parked unattended, the key lock protects against removal of the tablet. At the same time, the spring ensures the device is held securely while driving. In public transport, where tablets are used for passenger information or ticketing, the holder combines functionality and security. It is also suitable for workshops, construction sites, or service vehicles where tablets are accessible to different employees. It should be noted that Uni-Conn docks are generally not recommended for open cockpits such as forklifts. The docking station can be seamlessly integrated into the RAM Mounts mounting program via the AMPS hole pattern and provides reliable power for daily use with its 15W charging performance. This makes the lockable spring dock the premium solution in the Uni-Conn range.
