Product Description

The Do It All Dock

A “do-it-all” dock, the Thunderbolt Certified TBT4-UD5 Plugable Docking Station stands out as a versatile and powerful hub for modern workspaces. Its robust design includes an array of 13 ports, catering to a wide range of connectivity needs.

Starting with the 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 host port, this HDMI docking station offers plenty of bandwidth to support two HDMI ports, each capable of driving dual 4K 60Hz displays. A downstream 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 port is also included to provide high-speed connectivity for advanced Thunderbolt-based applications, such as fast storage devices. Use it to alternatively charge your phone or tablet with up to 15W of power or power an external display such as a USB-C monitor at up to 8K.

In addition to Thunderbolt 4 to HDMI display options, the TBT4-UD5 boasts a USB-C port with a 10Gbps transfer rate, ideal for quick file transfers and efficient data management. There are also 4x USB ports (2x 10Gbps, 2x 5Gbps), perfect for connecting a variety of peripherals like keyboards, mice, and external drives. Throw in SD and Micro SD slots, a combo audio jack, Gigabit Ethernet, and a slot for a K lock, and this setup ensures that users can create a powerful and integrated workstation.

Speaking of power, the TBT4-UD5 Thunderbolt and USB4 dock packs it in with up to 100W Power Delivery (96W certified) — more than enough for most power-hungry laptops. Especially useful in business and education environments, the Plugable TBT4-UD5 Docking Station delivers exceptional functionality and convenience.

It’s worth noting on Mac systems, dual display is only supported on M1 Pro/Max, M2 Pro/Max, and M3 Pro/Max systems. Base model M1, M2, and M3 systems will only support one extended display.

Compatibility

System Requirements Host computer with a built-in Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 port running Windows 10 and later or macOS 11 and later.
Drivers Typically no driver installation is necessary on the host computer in order to use the TBT4-UD5. On Windows, it may be necessary to manually install an Ethernet adapter driver to ensure the best performance.
Mac Configuration Apple Mac systems with an Apple processor must have an M1 Pro/M1 Max, M2 Pro/M2 Max or M3 Pro/M3 Max processor in order to use dual displays. Base M1, M2, or M3 Macs only support a single display.
Display Capabilities The TBT4-UD5 has two built-in HDMI video outputs each supporting up to a maximum 4K resolution at up to a maximum 60Hz refresh rate. Dual display capability is dependent on the host system’s external display capability. Up to 8K video is supported via downstream front Thunderbolt port (total maximum of two displays possible).

Is this dock compatible with M1 / M2 / M3 Macs?

Yes, with important qualifications. Macs with ‘base’ M1, M2, or M3 processors will support only one external display. However, Macs with M1 Pro, M1 Max, M2 Pro, M2 Max, M3 Pro, and M3 Max processors will support two external displays.

Will this dock work with any laptop?

A computer that has a Thunderbolt 4 port or USB4 port that is running Windows 10 or later or macOS 11 or later should be compatible with the Plugable TBT4-UD5 docking station. Computers that do not meet these requirements are not supported.

Why should I choose a dock with extra downstream Thunderbolt ports?

Downstream Thunderbolt ports provide maximum flexibility of the devices that can be used. If the host has a Thunderbolt 4 port, then the downstream Thunderbolt port will work as a Thunderbolt 4 port; allowing Thunderbolt 4, 3 and USB-C connections.

Do I need to install software or drivers in order to use the TBT4-UD5?

No software or driver installation is necessary in order to use the TBT4-UD5.

Are my monitors compatible with the TBT4-UD5 docking station?

HDMI monitors are supported at up to a maximum of 4K 60Hz. For monitors with USB-C ports, up to a single 8K display can be connected via the front Thunderbolt port. Note, a total maximum of two displays can only be connected at a single time.
