TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Dock

The CalDigit TS4 is the dock we put on every desk where the user docks and undocks a laptop daily. At 18 ports it covers virtually every peripheral you'd plug into a workstation, and the build quality — milled aluminium with a fanless thermal design — is in a different class from injection-moulded competitors. 98 W of upstream PD is enough for a 16" MacBook Pro or a Dell XPS 15 under load, so the laptop charges from the same single Thunderbolt 4 cable that carries video, USB and Ethernet. On Apple Silicon, the dock drives dual 6K @ 60 Hz displays (one via the rear DisplayPort 1.4, one via a downstream Thunderbolt 4 port to an Apple Pro Display XDR or equivalent). On Intel Thunderbolt 4 hosts, you're limited to dual 4K @ 60 Hz by the host's TB4 controller, not the dock. 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet is the right call in 2026 — most ISP routers and prosumer NAS units have moved to multi-gig, and a 2.5 GbE dock NIC saves you from chaining a USB-Ethernet adapter. The front-mounted SD 4.0 UHS-II reader gives sustained read rates above 250 MB/s for card off-loading, and the front USB-C with 20 W PD is enough to charge a phone or iPad mini at full speed. We deploy these with the firmware updated to the latest CalDigit release on arrival, and we replace the included 0.8 m Thunderbolt 4 cable with a CalDigit 2 m TB4 active cable for users who route through a cable tray.
