A “do-it-all” dock, the Thunderbolt Certified TBT4-UD5 Plugable Docking Station was awarded The Best Thunderbolt Docking Station by Tom’s Guide (Tom's Guide, July 23rd, 2024). It 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 TB4 dock 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. In addition to its display options, this Thunderbolt USB4 dock boasts a USB-C port with a 10Gbps transfer rate, ideal for quick file transfers and efficient data management. There are also 4x USB 3.0 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 docking station Thunderbolt 4 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.

Streamline your workstation with the Plugable UD-CA1A USB-C Docking Station—a compact, versatile 9-in-1 solution that expands your connectivity through a single USB-C cable. This dock adds essential ports to your setup, including a 4K HDMI video output (up to 30Hz), Gigabit Ethernet, headphone and microphone jacks, three USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and up to 60W of USB-C Power Delivery to charge your compatible device. The UD-CA1A is designed for a seamless setup experience. It offers driverless, plug-and-play functionality, meaning no additional software or drivers are needed to begin using it. Simply connect the dock to a compatible USB-C port on your device, and its full range of features becomes immediately accessible, including HDMI video output, USB ports, Ethernet, and audio connections. Its compact vertical stand, which can also be removed for horizontal use, provides flexible placement options to suit your workspace. This docking station is intended for laptops, tablets, and phones that support both USB-C Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode), which are required for video output and charging. Compatible systems include MacBook Air and Pro (M1, M2, M3), iPad Pro, iPhone 16 models, Dell XPS, HP Spectre, Lenovo ThinkPad, and other Alt Mode and Power Delivery-enabled devices. It is important to note that the UD-CA1A supports only a single HDMI display output and is not compatible with DisplayPort monitors or systems that lack Alt Mode or Power Delivery, such as many legacy USB 3.0 laptops. For setups requiring dual HDMI outputs, a different Plugable dock may be more suitable. The HDMI port provides native-level video output, supporting up to 4K resolution at 30Hz or 2560x1600 and lower resolutions at 60Hz. This makes the dock well-suited for productivity tasks and everyday use, though it is not recommended for high-frame-rate gaming or applications that require fast refresh rates. With up to 60W of USB-C Power Delivery, the dock helps keep your device charged during use. However, devices that require more than 60W may charge more slowly or not at all. If full-speed charging is critical for your setup, consider one of Plugable’s docking stations with higher power delivery support. Included in the box are the UD-CA1A docking station, a stand, a 1-meter USB-C cable, an 80W power adapter with a US plug, and a quick start guide. The dock is TAA compliant and backed by Plugable’s 2-Year Warranty and lifetime support from our US-based team.
