RAM-GDS-DOCK-AP37CPU – GDS® Tough-Dock™ for Apple iPad Pro 12.9 3rd-6th Gen, Pro 13 & Air 13

The RAM-GDS-DOCK-AP37CPU is a spring-loaded GDS® Tough-Dock™ vehicle dock that holds and fast-charges a large-format Apple iPad wrapped in an IntelliSkin® Next Gen sleeve. Pogo pin contacts mean the tablet docks and charges in one movement, with no cable plugged into the device itself. This is the non-locking, USB 2.0 version of the AP37 dock.

Apple iPad Pro 12.9" (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Gen), iPad Pro 13 and iPad Air 13, each wrapped in the matching IntelliSkin® Next Gen sleeve. The sleeve is not included and is required; the dock charges through the sleeve's pogo pins, not through the iPad's own port. The dock connects to RAM® ball and socket systems via a 4-hole AMPS pattern ball adaptor, sold separately. If you are mounting an 11" iPad instead, see the RAM-GDS-DOCK-AP32CPU.

FAQs

Do I need an IntelliSkin sleeve as well?

Yes. The dock charges through the pogo pins on an IntelliSkin® Next Gen sleeve, so the iPad has to be wearing one. It is not included with the dock.

Do I need a special charger?

Yes; a Power Delivery (PD) charger is required to supply sufficient power to this dock.

Is this the locking version?

No. This is the non-locking USB 2.0 dock. RAM also make a locking version (RAM-GDS-DOCKL-AP37CPU), a locking Cool-Dock with a fan (RAM-GDS-DOCKLF-AP37CPU), a USB 3.1 version for HDMI passthrough (RAM-GDS-DOCK-AP37CU), and dual peripheral variants. Get in touch if you need one of those.

When will my order ship?

We don't hold this dock on the shelf in Auckland; we bring it in to order. Please get in touch before ordering and we'll confirm the lead time for you.
