Plugable Thunderbolt Dock

Yes, the dock is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 hosts. While you will get the best performance and bandwidth using a Thunderbolt 5 connection, it will still function as a high-performance hub with your older devices.

You can achieve dual 8K at 120Hz, but only when connected to a Windows host that supports Thunderbolt 5. If you are using a macOS device, the resolution and refresh rate capabilities will differ, supporting dual 6K at 60Hz.

Yes, 140W is significant power delivery, capable of charging most modern high-performance laptops at full speed. It ensures your machine stays charged even during intensive creative workflows or heavy multitasking.

Thunderbolt Share allows you to connect two computers directly through the dock to share files, peripherals, and even your screen. It is a convenient way to bridge two machines without needing to constantly unplug and replug your accessories.

If you have a high-speed internet plan exceeding 1Gbps or a local network storage system (NAS), the 2.5Gbps port is a major upgrade. For standard internet browsing, it is more bandwidth than you need, but it provides excellent future-proofing for your network setup.

Generally, this dock is plug-and-play on both Windows and macOS. You should not need to install additional drivers for the card readers or Ethernet port to function immediately upon connection.
