Fastest Laptop Charging
When it comes to laptop charging the TS4 provides up to 98W of power delivery.
That is the highest charging provided by any Thunderbolt 4 dock, and is ideal for larger screen laptops that require more power.
For laptops or tablets that require less than 98W, the TS4 will only supply the wattage required by your device.
20W USB-C Port
One of the front-facing USB-C ports can supply up to 20W of power for your attached USB-C device.
This is ideal for accessories that require more power, such as Apples MagSafe wireless charger.
More is More
The TS4 offers a staggering 18 ports of connectivity, the most featured on any Thunderbolt dock ever. The purpose of a device like this is to never run out of ports, and for the majority of us, that should certainly not be the case with the TS4.
8 USB Ports
With 8 USB ports on the TS4, a mixture of USB-A and USB-C, you have plenty of port connectivity to connect your USB accessories³.
All of the USB ports on the TS4 offer 10Gb/s performance.
2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
The TS4 is a dock that provides a lot of unique features, and that is certainly the case with the inclusion of 2.5G bE.
2.5G bE is 2.5 x faster than traditional Gigabit Ethernet, and is becoming the new standard for routers, switches, and NAS devices. The TS4s 2.5G bE functionality represents great value for money.
Of course you can use the 2.5G bE port on the TS4 with traditional 1GbE Ethernet devices.
Single 8K or Dual 6K 60Hz Displays
When it comes to connecting a monitor the TS4 offers outstanding visual clarity.
Single Monitor
If youre looking to add a single monitor to the TS4 you can either connect it to the DisplayPort connector or to one of the spare Thunderbolt 4 ports. If you wish to connect a HDMI monitor you can either connect an Active DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter, or use a USB-C to HDMI Adapter (sold separately).
Dual Monitors
macOS users on M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, or Intel based Macs can connect up to dual displays.
M1 based Macs do not support dual monitors through their Thunderbolt ports.
Windows PC Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 users can connect up to dual displays.

² Functionality is dependent on host computer or tablets capabilities.
³ USB-C & USB-A ports are for data only. Users who wish to connect monitors must connect them to the spare Thunderbolt 4/USB4 ports.
2.5G bE performance requires a Thunderbolt host & 2.5G bE compatible devices or above.
Some refresh rates require DP. 14 HBR3 and DSC 1.2 support from host, GPU and monitor. Some Thunderbolt 3 hosts that only support DP 1.2 will be capped at a lower resolution & refresh rate. The bit/color depth may vary in order to support higher refresh rates. The support of higher refresh rates may vary due to OS updates. Some Windows PC manufacturers have decided to restrict functionality on their Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C ports such as charging and monitor compatibility. Check to see if your PC supports external monitors.
