MINIS FORUM DEG1 OcuLink docking station PCIe 4.0 x4 GPU expansion DEG1

The MINIS FORUM DEG1 is a compact OCuLink docking station that lets mini PCs use a full-size graphics card. It connects through a PCIe 4.0 x4 OCuLink 4i interface, providing high bandwidth and a stable link to the host unit. It is a straightforward way to boost a computer's performance without replacing the entire system.

The PCIe 4.0 x4 bus offers bandwidth of up to 64 GT/s, and an integrated signal booster keeps data transfer stable under load, which matters for gaming, graphics work and video rendering. The open design does not restrict graphics card length, so high-end models such as the NVIDIA RTX 4090 or AMD RX 7900 XTX can be fitted. The station works with standard ATX and SFX power supplies and can be synchronised with the main computer through the Follow the Startup function.

Measuring 185 × 50 × 2 mm and weighing 350 g, the black docking station takes up little space on the desk.
