Plugable Future-Proofs Your School's Hardware Investment — Come See It Live at ISTE 2026

Plugable is the #1 docking station company for education, trusted by 9,900+ institutions and 2,400+ school districts nationwide. Whether your school runs Mac, Chromebook, or Windows, Plugable makes everything work together. Seamless connectivity for the next generation of learning.

Plugable will be at Booth #2068 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, June 29 – July 1, 2026.

Here's what to expect.

One Booth. Every Device Your District Runs.

Managing a mixed device fleet is one of the most common headaches in K-12 IT right now. MacBooks in one building, Chromebooks down the hall, Windows laptops in the lab, and the connectivity solutions rarely talk to each other cleanly. Procurement gets complicated, support tickets pile up, and IT teams spend more time troubleshooting cables than supporting teachers.

Our booth is built around solving exactly that. 

We've set up four dedicated zones — Mac, Windows, Chromebook, and Universal — so you can walk up to whichever setup matches your environment and see Plugable working on your devices in real time. No demos on hypothetical hardware. Just your setup, running the way it should.

What Is Plugable Showing at ISTE Live 2026?

Plugable's booth at ISTE 2026 features four dedicated device zones allowing educators and IT administrators to see Plugable solutions running live on the devices their district actually uses. Key demonstrations include a 4-monitor video wall powered by a single cable, a live Chromebook classroom built in partnership with Acer, and a PS-10CC classroom charging station running 10 devices simultaneously from one outlet.

The 4-Monitor Video Wall — Powered by One Cable

Our universal compatibility zone is anchored by a Thunderbolt 4 docking station driving a 4-monitor video wall from a single cable. One connection handles video, data, and power delivery simultaneously. No dongles, no adapters, no desk clutter.

The Dock 682+ Schools Have Standardized On

Our Windows zone leads with the UD-ULTC4K, our best-selling docking station and the most deployed product in our education lineup. It connects to virtually any Windows laptop via USB-C, drives dual 4K displays, and supports charging, all from one cable. Districts choose it because one SKU works across their entire Windows fleet, which simplifies procurement, reduces support overhead, and extends the life of existing hardware.

Making the Most of Your Mac Setup

If your district runs MacBooks, our Mac zone is built for you. We're showing our full Thunderbolt lineup, including the TBT4-UDZ, alongside a live MacBook Neo setup that demonstrates what a fully connected Mac environment looks like in a real school setting. One dock. Every Mac your district deploys. Whether you're standardizing a new fleet or maximizing what you already have, Plugable makes sure your MacBooks are working as hard as they can.

A Real Chromebook Classroom — Built With Acer

We partnered with Acer this year to build a Chromebook zone running on actual Acer hardware. Our Chromebook-compatible docking stations and hubs give students and teachers the same connected experience they'd get on a Mac or Windows machine: extended displays, reliable USB connectivity, and consistent charging. We're not just claiming Chromebook compatibility. We're showing it.

PS-10CC Classroom Charging Station — Live Demo All 3 Days

In partnership with Copernicus

The PS-10CC is a 10-port USB-C classroom charging station that powers every device in the room from a single outlet. No more power strips daisy-chained across the floor. No more students fighting over the three outlets in the corner. No more carts full of tangled cables that nobody wants to deal with at the end of the day.

It charges 10 devices simultaneously — Chromebooks, iPads, MacBooks, Windows laptops — and it does it fast. For IT teams managing device fleets across multiple classrooms, it's one SKU that solves the overnight charging problem at scale.

We're partnering with Copernicus, who will be showcasing the PS-10CC inside their classroom charging cart so you can see the full solution working together exactly as it would in your school.
