Introducing the TS5 and TS5 Plus

All About The Ports

The TS5 is built from the ground up with connectivity in mind. It is packed full of essential ports ready to take your workflow to the next level.

This dock features a combined total of 15 ports, including four Thunderbolt 5 80Gb/s ports. In addition to all of this connectivity, the TS5 will charge your laptop up to 140W.

140W Power Delivery

The TS5 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.

Thunderbolt 5

The TS5 features four 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 supports transfer speeds up to 6,200MB/s.

5 Powerful USB Ports

The TS5 features 5 USB ports in order to attach multiple accessories to the dock*.

Four of the USB ports on the TS5 offer 10Gb/s performance, and one of the USB-A ports provides USB 2.0 performance for keyboards or mice.

*USB-C & USB-A ports are for data only. Monitors must be connected to the spare Thunderbolt 5/USB4 v2 ports.

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 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 it will enable Bandwidth Boost in order to prioritize 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, as well as three 4K 144Hz displays.

2.5 Gigabit Ethernet

The TS5 features a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for outstanding performance.*

2.5GbE is 2.5x faster than traditional Gigabit Ethernet, and is becoming the new standard for routers, switches, and NAS devices.*

Of course you can use the 2.5GbE port on the TS5 with traditional 1GbE Ethernet devices.

*Ethernet is only supported on Thunderbolt based hosts as well as USB4 hosts that support PCIe.

Tablets & Phones

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

The TS5 is also compatible with USB-C Tablets and iPhones.

*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.

20W USB-C Port

One of the the front-facing USB-C ports features 20W in order to provide more power for accessories.

This is ideal for devices that require more than 7.5W of USB power such as an iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad Pro.

SD & microSD 4.0 UHS-II

The TS5 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.

Apple SuperDrive

Devices such as the Apple SuperDrive are recommended by Apple to be directly connected to a laptop as they require extra power. CalDigit has developed a driver for the SuperDrive so that it can be directly connected to the TS5.

*Requires a one-time driver install.

Rear Host Port

Most generic Thunderbolt docks feature a front host Thunderbolt port which results in messy cable management.

The The TS5′ unique rear Thunderbolt 5 host port features a more elegant solution for a clean desktop experience.

Docking Station Utility

Individually disconnecting all the external drives connected to a dock can be a hassle.

To solve this CalDigit includes a free macOS utility that allows you to instantly disconnect all of your connected external drives with one click*.

*Requires a one-time software install. macOS only.
