Upgrade to a Triple-Monitor Workstation
This extender is designed for users who need more horizontal mounting space on a compatible DS100 crossbar. By increasing the crossbar width and adding a center display bracket, it supports a three-monitor arrangement without requiring a completely different crossbar assembly.
When three displays are installed, the maximum outside width of each monitor is approximately 20 inches (51 cm). Actual compatibility depends on monitor dimensions, pivot placement, total system weight, and balance.
Compatibility and Installation
The 97-446-200 is an accessory for compatible Ergotron DS100 crossbar systems. It is not a standalone monitor stand. The compatible 28-inch crossbar, pole or base assembly, and required monitor pivots must be available separately unless already included in your existing configuration.
Follow Ergotron's assembly instructions and observe the system's balance requirements to help prevent tipping. Confirm the weight and dimensions of all displays before configuring a multi-monitor setup.
DC Supplies Product Note
Before ordering, verify your existing DS100 crossbar model, required pivots, monitor VESA patterns, and available mounting space. This kit contains the short extenders and center display bracket; it does not represent a complete triple-monitor stand.
