Introducing the TS5 and TS5 Plus

It Just Works

The TS5 Plus is a powerful device, and to be used to its maximum it requires a Mac or PC with Thunderbolt or USB4 connectivity. This next-generation dock is compatible with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4 v2 or USB4 host devices.

140W Power Delivery

The TS5 Plus provides up to 140W power delivery. Perfect for the most demanding laptops, like the 16″ MacBook Pro with M3/M4 Pro or Max chips.

Unlike other docks, the TS5 Plus will always provide the full 140W power delivery, even when more devices are connected.

10 Powerful USB Ports

With 10 USB ports, you have plenty of connectivity for your USB accessories*.

All the USB ports offer 10Gb/s performance, and 7.5W of power. The front USB-C port provides 36W of power.

*Ports are for data only. Monitors must be connected to Thunderbolt 5/USB4 v2 ports.

Dual USB Controllers

The TS5 Plus is the only dock with dual USB controllers*.

Dual controllers allow the dock to provide two individual 10Gb/s controllers for increased bandwidth to connected devices. This is essential for anyone connecting multiple high bandwidth USB devices.

*Supported on Thunderbolt-based hosts, as well as USB4 hosts that support PCIe.

36W of Power for Accessories

The TS5 Plus has a convenient yet powerful front-facing 36W USB-C port for power hungry devices.

Not only does the front USB-C port feature 36W, but so do the two spare Thunderbolt 5 ports. This is more the double the previous generation.

Thunderbolt 5

The TS5 Plus features an 80Gb/s bidirectional Thunderbolt 5 ports, double the performance of Thunderbolt 4.

The PCIe performance of the Thunderbolt ports has been doubled to 64Gb/s PCIe 4.0. This is ideal for connecting high-performance SSDs or RAID devices. The TS5 Plus supports transfer speeds up to 6200MB/s.

Single, Dual, or Triple Displays

Whether you need a high-resolution display, a high-refresh rate display, or up to 3 external displays, the TS5 Plus has you covered.

MacOS computers currently only support a maximum of 2 displays, depending on device.

Windows computers with Thunderbolt 5 can support up to 3 displays.

Bandwidth Boost

When you connect bandwidth intensive monitors to the TS5 Plus it will enable Bandwidth Boost in order to prioritise displays, and provide up to 120Gb/s performance. This will then keep 40Gb/s for the rest of the dock.

The great thing about this is that it will allow for higher refresh rate displays to be connected to the TS5 Plus, as well as three 4K 144Hz displays.

iPad and Tablet Support

Connect the TS5 Plus to your Thunderbolt iPad, or Windows Thunderbolt tablet, and take your workflow to the next level.

*Not compatible with USB-C tablets. Full tablet functionality will be dependent on your tablet’s capabilities. Overall functionality will be reduced when using a tablet or phone as a host device.

10 Gigabit Ethernet

Offers 10x the performance of traditional 1GbE found in many docking stations.

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.
