CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Dock
The ultimate Thunderbolt 4 dock with 18 ports packed into a compact aluminum chassis. 98W USB-C power delivery charges even the MacBook Pro 16-inch at near-full speed through a single cable that also carries video and data. Triple display support (two via Thunderbolt, one via HDMI or DisplayPort) creates an expansive workspace. 2.5GbE Ethernet provides faster-than-gigabit wired networking, and five USB-A ports plus three USB-C ports handle all your peripherals. The solid aluminum build doubles as a heat sink for reliable operation.
