Product Description
Connect with a Plugable docking station designed for modern laptops. The Plugable Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 Docking Station (TBT4-UDX1) with 100W charging offers something a lot of Thunderbolt docking stations lack, Thunderbolt ports (which are fully USB4 compatible, by the way). In addition to the 40Gbps Thunderbolt connection to the host, get 2x downstream ports (40Gbps) for your most powerful peripherals.
Get powered up. With 100W charging (96W certified), charge a MacBook Pro 14” from 0%-50% in about 30 minutes*. Charge a Dell XPS 15 9520 from 0%-50% in about 60 minutes**. Extra Thunderbolt ports offer more than data. Each one borrows 15W from the host power supply to provide power to connected devices. When one Thunderbolt device is connected, the host receives 81W, and if two Thunderbolt devices are connected, the host receives 66W.
Laptop docking stations like the Plugable TBT4-UDX1 let you spread out on two screens at up to 4K 60Hz. If you’re presenting to clients or streaming some shows, the 4K HDMI port connects an extra display at up to 60Hz. An included USB-C to HDMI adapter lets you connect a second 4K 60Hz monitor. But if you really want to pack in the pixels, go straight to the Thunderbolt port to connect an 8K monitor up to 30Hz.
Diving deeper into its features, the 11-port expansion on this USB C hub is perfect for ultra-thin devices like the Surface Pro 8. Get instant access to 1x HDMI port, 4x USB 3.0 ports, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, an SD Card reader, and even a combination audio jack. And the convenience continues with an included 3’ (1m) Thunderbolt cable. Just a heads up, on Mac, dual display is only available on M1 / M2 / M3 systems with a Pro or Max chip, like the Macbook Pro M1 Pro/Max, M2 Pro/Max, M3 Pro/Max. Base M4 and M4 Pro/Max systems can also support dual displays.
