Frequently Asked Questions

40 Gbps total bandwidth: 2× 4K@60Hz displays, up to 100 W PD to the laptop, multiple 10 Gbps USB ports, Ethernet, SD card reader and audio out — all through a single cable.

1 monitor and a few USB devices = USB-C is fine. 2 monitors at 4K@60Hz and full-power laptop charging = Thunderbolt 4.

Only if it delivers at least 140 W via USB-C PD 3.1. Most docks deliver 90–96 W — enough while operating but charges slower.

Yes, M-series iPads detect Thunderbolt 4 docks and use external displays, keyboard, mouse and Ethernet.

Premium fanless docks are silent. Idle 2–5 W, full load 90–150 W at the wall.

Guide & know-how

Docking stations turn your laptop into a single-cable workstation. Thunderbolt 4 docks from market leaders like Caldigit and OWC deliver 40 Gbps total bandwidth — simultaneous 2× 4K@60Hz or 1× 8K, up to 90 W Power Delivery for MacBook Air/Pro, several 10 Gbps USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, SD card reader and audio out. USB-C docks are cheaper but typically only deliver 1× 4K@60Hz and USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps). For workstations with two external monitors we strongly recommend Thunderbolt 4. Shipped from Basel — same day by 4 pm, free above CHF 15, 2-year Swiss warranty. Invoice payment available (credit check by Powerpay).

How to pick the right docking station

Question 1: how many monitors? 1× 4K@60Hz = USB-C dock is enough, 2× 4K@60Hz = Thunderbolt 4 or DisplayLink dock. Question 2: which laptop? MacBook Air M-series drives 2 external displays via Thunderbolt 4 natively (M3/M4 even with the lid closed). MacBook Pro drives 2–4 externals. Windows laptops with Thunderbolt 4 = full bandwidth, USB-C only = max 1 native + 1 DisplayLink monitor. Question 3: how much power does your laptop need? MacBook Air 30 W, MacBook Pro 14″ 96 W, MacBook Pro 16″ 140 W. The dock must deliver at least that wattage.

Speed & standards: Thunderbolt 4, USB4, USB 3.2 Gen 2

Thunderbolt 4 = 40 Gbps, guaranteed 2× 4K@60Hz, 100 W PD, compatible with USB4 and USB-C. Tunnels PCIe, DisplayPort and USB 3.2 simultaneously. USB4 = also 40 Gbps but optional features, Thunderbolt 3 = 40 Gbps like TB4 but only 1 external monitor guaranteed. USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2) = 10 Gbps — cheaper docks with only one DP Alt Mode stream. Look for the Thunderbolt logo (bolt with number 4) — labels without it usually only deliver USB-C bandwidth.

Compatibility: MacBook M-series, Windows, iPad Pro, ChromeOS

MacBook M-series: all models with Thunderbolt 4 ports (M1 Pro/Max/Ultra/M2/M3/M4). Windows: laptops with Thunderbolt 4 certification (Intel Evo, Dell XPS, ThinkPad X1, Surface Pro 9+). iPad Pro M-series: works with Thunderbolt 4 docks — external displays work, driver and USB limits are stricter though. ChromeOS: USB-C hub functions mostly yes, Thunderbolt 4 specifics not guaranteed.

Material, energy & heat

Premium docks like Caldigit TS4 and OWC Thunderbolt Pro come in aluminium housings with passive cooling — no fan, silent operation. Idle power 2–5 W, full load (laptop charging + 2 monitors active) 90–150 W at the wall. External power brick bundles supply — aluminium fully recyclable, take-back via the RPD recycling programme.
