Panasonic TOUGHBOOK xPAK System
Panasonic has been definining the rugged technology industry since its inception decades ago. Continuing the tradition of well researched and developed technological progress, Panasonic introduced the xPAK modular expansion system with the FZ-G2 Panasonic TOUGHBOOK. Numerous points of rugged laptop and tablet customer feedback hit upon the pain point of not being able to evolve a rugged computer to fit changing needs. xPAKs allow for evolving mission parameters by adding features and functionality to existing fleets of rugged laptops and rugged tablets. Most xPAKs are user installable and are plug and play without requiring any software updates or changes. With xPAKs ranging everywhere from as simple as a second battery or extra interface ports on a rugged laptop to barcode readers and smart card readers on a rugged tablet, the wide array of available expansion modules ensures the TOUGHBOOK brand can be modified to fit any requirement.
Panasonic TOUGHBOOK Peripherals
The TOUGHBOOK line of rugged laptops and rugged tablets has a wide array of OEM accessories and peripherals designed by Panasonic exclusively for use with the TOUGHBOOK family. Extra AC Power adapters, DC power adapters and battery chargers are some of the most often purchased accessories alongside a Panasonic TOUGHBOOK. One of the most useful accessories Panasonic makes for all TOUGHBOOK models is the desktop dock. Featuring desktop docks for rugged laptops like the FZ-40 or FZ-55 as well as docks for both tablet and laptop versions of the CF-33 and FZ-G2, Panasonic has ensured that all TOUGHBOOK users have access to the accessory that adds the most utility to its rugged computer line. With a desktop dock, a user is able to charge the TOUGHBOOK and connect peripherals to the rugged computer including mice, keyboards, printers, ethernet, flashdrives, and more and connect and disconnect to all the peripherals in seconds. With locks for additional security, desktop docks also save wear and tear on the actual ports of the rugged laptop or tablet.
TOUGHBOOK Compatible Aftermarket Accessories

Partnering with Panasonic, major manufacturers such as Gamber Johnson and Havis have created vehicle docks and cradles specifically designed for use with all TOUGHBOOK models and form factors. Delivering the same benefits as a desktop dock, most vehicle docks are designed to additionaly help connect external antennas to boost internal radio signals of the computer such as 4G LTE or dedicated GPS. With proper vehicle mounting equipment, a Panasonic TOUGHBOOK can be easily utilized as a highly functional mobile command center, workstation or computer aided dispatch device while retaining safe use for the operator.
