#t4tWorkFromHome: One of the most important accessories on my Work From Home setup is the Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock, because it turns my laptop into a well-connected workstation.
The Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock is the connection central for my Work-From-Home setup.
The Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock enables me to connect my laptop to a whole host of other devices and peripherals without having to worry about a shortage of ports on my laptop, especially when using an ultraportable laptop which usually suffers from a dearth of ports.
The Belkin Connect USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock has an RRP of S$149 in Singapore.
The 11-in-1 Multiport Dock also allows my laptop to connect to other devices when the laptop does not have the correct port (e.g HDMI or Ethernet ports) or the connected device still uses legacy ports (eg. VGA video port).
This can come in useful when going to a new presentation venue and you’re not sure what kind of devices (and connectors) the venue uses.
So on my workspace at home, my laptop is connected to an external monitor via the HDMI port on the 11-in-1 Multiport Dock.
My ultraportable doesn’t have an HDMI port so the dock is a godsend in hooking up my ultraportable to the 4K monitor.
The 11-in-1 Multiport Dock also has DisplayPort and VGA video ports as well.
For power, the Multiport Dock supports pass-through charging up to 100W.

In this month’s technology opinion leader column from Keysight Technologies, Keith Bromley shares his insights into how an EMA research report has amplified the importance of a network visibility architecture for the hybrid, multi-cloud enterprise.
Network Visibility Architecture for the Hybrid, Multi-Cloud Enterprise
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and continued threat of cyber-attacks has put the IT and security industry on high alert, resulting in many organisations having to push their network infrastructure into the cloud.
This adoption to support remote work has created challenges in seeing security threats and maintaining performance.
As a way to further explore the industry’s response to current visibility initiatives, EMA released a report which investigates how IT and security organisations use network visibility architectures to deliver network packets for critical performance and security, and suggests how organisations should evolve their network visibility architectures as they adopt hybrid, multi-cloud architectures.

DPM Heng Swee Keat reiterated the importance of innovation to help the nation overcome the “Iron Triangle” of healthcare – cost, accessibility and quality. He was addressing the attendees of CHI Innovate 2022 via a recorded speech to open the annual flagship conference for the Centre for Healthcare Innovation (CHI).
Heng Swee Keat is the Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies.
Noting that innovation is key to overcoming the “iron triangle” of cost, accessibility and quality of healthcare, DPM Heng said that just as important as research and innovation is the translation of innovation into impact – which corresponded with the theme for this year’s CHI Innovate: “The Road from Innovation to Impact”.
DPM shared three ways of achieving greater impact in healthcare innovation.
- Innovation at the systems level
- Innovation in the use of technology
- Fostering an innovative workplace culture
Check out the details of DPM Heng’s speech from the script below.
