CalDigit - TS5 Plus Thunderbolt Station 5 Plus
Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station
Over a decade after the original Thunderbolt Station redefined what was possible via a single Thunderbolt connection, the TS5 Plus has built on previous generations to offer the ultimate docking station experience. Thunderbolt users no longer need to compromise when it comes to connectivity.
It Just Works
The TS5 Plus is compatible with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, USB4 and USB4 v2 Macs and PCs. It is also compatible with Thunderbolt 3 Macs. For maximum functionality the TS5 Plus should be used with a Thunderbolt 5 or USB4 v2 host computer.
140W Power Delivery
The TS5 Plus features 140W power delivery for even the most demanding of laptops. This makes it ideal for host devices like the 16” MacBook Pro with M3/M4 Pro or Max chips that require 140W.
Bandwidth Boost
The TS5 Plus features 3x Thunderbolt 5 80Gb/s ports with support for Bandwidth Boost. This will provide up to 120Gb/s bandwidth for even the most demanding displays.
10 Gigabit Ethernet
The built-in 10 Gigabit Ethernet2 port is a powerful addition to an already powerful device. 10GbE is 10X faster than traditional 1GbE found in the vast majority of docks on the market. Users with 10GbE networks will be able to expand their workflows on their Thunderbolt equipped Macs and PCs. The 10GbE port is of course backwards compatible with 1GbE, 2.5GbE, and 5GbE.
36W of Power for Accessories
When we say the TS5 Plus is the most powerful dock we are not kidding. The TS5 Plus features not one but 3x 36W Type-C ports. One of the front USB-C ports provides up to 36W, and the 2x downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports provide up to 36W for charging power hungry devices.
10 Powerful USB Ports
There are a total of 10x USB ports on the TS5 Plus. This includes 5x USB-A 10Gb/s ports, and 5x USB-C 10Gb/s ports.
Dual USB Controllers
For the first time on a Thunderbolt dock, the TS5 Plus features Dual USB Controllers3 which allow the dock to offer vastly significant USB performance.
Single, Dual or Triple Displays
When connecting displays to the TS5 Plus, the dock supports up to dual 4K 240Hz displays on Macs that support these resolutions. On supported Windows Thunderbolt 5 PCs, the TS5 Plus supports up to triple 4K 144Hz displays1.
SD & microSD 4.0 UHS-II
The TS5 Plus features both microSD and SD card readers on the front of the device for easy access. Both ports offer UHS-II performance and can be used at the same time.
Offline Charging
Keep devices charged while you're away from your desk with offline charging.
All the USB-C ports, front USB-A and two rear USB-A ports still provide power without a computer connected.
Apple SuperDrive
The TS5 Plus supports the Apple SuperDrive.
