Features

  • 20 Ports of Extreme Connectivity - Featuring next-level connectivity, the TS5 Plus has more than enough ports for any workflow. The TS5 Plus includes 3x 80Gb/s Thunderbolt 5 ports, 5x USB-A 10Gb/s ports, 5x USB-C 10Gb/s ports, DisplayPort 2.1, SD 4.0 & microSD 4.0 UHS-II card readers, 10Gb Ethernet, and 3 x audio ports. Thunderbolt 5 supports 64Gb/s PCIe which is ideal for connecting ultra-fast Thunderbolt SSDs to the TS5 Plus.
  • More Power than Ever - The TS5 Plus host charging port provides up to 140W of dedicated power delivery, ideal for laptops such as the 16 M3/M4/M5 Pro & Max series MacBook Pro which charges at 140W. The TS5 Plus includes a 330W power supply which allows sustained power delivery at all times for the host charging port as well as all remaining ports. The downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports and one of the front USB-C ports can provide up to 36W of dedicated power delivery for charging accessories, *Thunderbolt/USB-C port on host device must support PD for charging support (check with manufacturer). Desktop computers such as Mac Mini cannot be powered over USB-C and must use supplied AC adapter.
  • Flexible Display Configurations - The TS5 Plus on macOS devices can connect up to Dual 6K 60Hz displays, or even Dual 8K 60Hz displays on Macs that support those resolutions. The TS5 Plus supports high-refresh rates at up to Dual 4K 240Hz. On Windows, the TS5 Plus supports up to dual 6K 60Hz on Thunderbolt 4 hosts, and up to Dual 8K 60Hz on Thunderbolt 5 hosts. Thunderbolt 5 Windows users can also connect up to Triple 4K 144Hz displays on supported Windows Thunderbolt 5 hosts (macOS does not support Triple displays).*Check with your manufacturer to see how many displays your computer supports.
  • 10 Gigabit Ethernet - The TS5 Plus seamlessly integrates powerful 10GbE workflows with ease. 10GbE is 10X faster than traditional 1GbE found on the majority of docking stations. Users can connect to ultra fast 10GbE networks in order to transfer files faster than ever, or connect to 10GbE equipped NAS storage devices. The 10GbE port is backwards compatible with 1GbE, 2.5GbE, and 5GbE. *Ethernet is only supported on Thunderbolt based hosts as well as USB4 hosts that support PCIe.
  • Dual USB Controllers - A unique feature of the TS5 Plus is that it includes Dual USB Controllers. This means that the ports on the front of the dock have one 10Gb/s USB controller for all of the attached devices, and the rear ports have a second 10Gb/s controller for the devices on the back ports. This avoids any bottlenecks when multiple high speed USB devices are connected, and is an ideal feature to complement the total of 10x USB ports on the dock.
  • Compatibility - The TS5 Plus is compatible with Thunderbolt and USB4 host devices. To get the maximum performance out of the TS5 Plus a Thunderbolt 5 (80Gb/s) or USB4 v2 (80Gb/s) host connection is required. Users on Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, or USB4 hosts will see reduced functionality. The TS5 Plus also supports Thunderbolt based tablet devices. *The TS5 Plus does not support non-Thunderbolt based host devices.
  • 80Gb/s Performance & 120Gb/s Bandwidth Boost - The TS5 Plus offers unparalleled 80Gb/s performance when transmitting and receiving files. This makes it ideal for the unmatched 20 ports of connectivity this dock delivers. When users connect ultra high-refresh rate displays to the TS5 Plus, this device will shift its allocation and provide up to 120Gb/s to the displays without the user ever thinking about it.
  • Aluminum Heat Sink Chassis - The TS5 Plus' beautifully crafted aluminum chassis is designed as an external heat sink to dissipate heat generated by the large amount of power it provides. This function has been meticulously tested to ensure the safety of the device and the user. We recommend providing ample clearance around the TS5 Plus to increase the surface area for efficient heat dissipation ensuring optimal performance.
  • ***Windows users must install the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Driver. Please visit our website to download and install the driver

Description

Established in 2006, CalDigit started out designing premium external storage solutions for creative professionals. As the industry shifted to the newly introduced Thunderbolt connector in 2011, CalDigit realized the importance that Thunderbolt would bring to workflows worldwide, and we began work on what would become our first docking station – the Thunderbolt Station. Pushing the Limits of Connectivity Over a decade after the original Thunderbolt Station redefined what was possible via a single connection, the TS5 Plus has built on previous generations to offer the ultimate docking station experience. Powered by the latest Thunderbolt 5 technology, the TS5 Plus expands Mac and PC workflows with the most advanced port selection ever included on a Thunderbolt dock. The TS5 Plus features an 80Gb/s bi-directional Thunderbolt 5 ports. The PCIe performance of the the Thunderbolt ports have been doubled from the previous generation to 64Gb/s PCIe 4.0. This is ideal for connecting high-performance SSDs or RAID devices, supporting transfer speeds up to 6,200MB/s. The TS5 Plus supplies up to 140W of power, supporting high-performance laptops such as the 16″ MacBook Pro with M3/M4 Pro or Max chips. It maintains a constant 140W to the host device, even when new devices are added. For lower-power devices, it smartly adjusts to supply only what’s needed. *Thunderbolt/USB-C host device and port must support PD for charging. Check specifications below for more info. The TS5 Plus features a 36W front-facing USB-C post that supports even the most power-hungry USB-C devices. Both rear Thunderbolt 5 ports also offer 36W each, more than double the 15W from previous generation. This ensures fast charging for devices like the iPad Pro, which only requires 20W. At the time, the CalDigit TS4 was the first Thunderbolt 4 dock to include a 2.5GbE port, and with the TS5 Plus we are going 4x better by including a 10GbE port.* 10 Gigabit Ethernet offers 10x the performance of traditional 1GbE found in many docking stations, with a data rate of up to 10 billion bits per second. Traditionally, if you wanted to use 10GbE with a laptop, you would have needed to buy an external Thunderbolt to 10GbE Adapter. This functionality is now built in, saving you time, and valuable desk space. Of course you can use the 10GbE port on the TS5 Plus with 5GbE, 2.5GbE, and 1GbE devices. *Ethernet is only supported on Thunderbolt based hosts as well as USB4 hosts that support PCIe. Please contact your USB4 host manufacturers for PCIe support information. Dual USB Controllers The TS5 Plus is a unique device, and this is ultimately demonstrated by being the only dock with dual USB controllers*. Traditional Thunderbolt docks feature a single USB controller that all of the USB, and Thunderbolt ports on the dock share. The TS5 Plus’ dual controllers allow the dock to provide two individual 10Gb/s controllers for increased bandwidth to connected devices. This is a great solution for anyone adding multiple high bandwidth USB devices to their dock. *The second USB controller is only supported on Thunderbolt based hosts, as well as USB4 hosts that support PCIe. Please contact your USB4 host manufacturer for PCIe support information. Single Monitor If you’re looking to add a single monitor to the TS5 Plus you can connect it to one of the spare Thunderbolt 5 ports or to the DisplayPort connector. If you wish to connect an HDMI monitor you can use a USB-C to HDMI Adapter or Active DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter ***. Dual Monitors ✔ macOS users on base M4, M1/M2/M3/M4 Pro, M1/M2/M3/M4 Max, M1/M2/M3 Ultra, or Intel based Macs can connect up to dual displays. ✘ M1/M2/M3 based Macs are limited to 1 external monitor by design via their Thunderbolt ports. ✔ Windows PC Thunderbolt 5 and Thunderbolt 4 users can connect up to dual displays. Triple Monitors ✘ macOS users on M1-M4 Pro / Max do not support Triple monitors via a Thunderbolt Dock. ✔ macOS users on M5 Max and M5 Pro can connect up to three displays. ✔ Windows PC Thunderbolt 5 users can connect up to three displays on supported host computers. ✘ Windows PC Thunderbolt 4 users cannot connect three displays natively. Quad Monitors ✔ macOS users on M5 Max can connect up to four displays. * Dual 5K monitors must be Thunderbolt 4 or Apple Studio Displays. Dual LG UltraFine 5K monitors are not supported. 6K monitors can be a Thunderbolt 4 monitor or an Apple Pro Display XDR. DSC (Display Stream Compression) support is required for 6K and 8K resolutions. ** Higher refresh-rates (above 60Hz) may require DSC (Display Stream Compression) support on the monitors and host GPU. The bit/color depth may vary in order to support higher refresh-rates. *** Some M3 MacBooks such as the MacBook Air can support dual external monitors up to 5K and 6K when the laptop lid is closed (clamshell mode). **** Currently M1/2/3/4 Macs can only support up to HDMI 2.0b over its Thunderbolt ports. As such, resolutions will be limited to 4K 60Hz when using an HDMI adapter. If a higher refresh-rate is required, please use a USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to DisplayPort or DisplayPort to DisplayPort connection. For more information about a Mac’s external display support please Apple's or CalDigit's support webpages. ***** Results may vary due to OS updates. For external display compatibility over a single Thunderbolt connection on different Windows computers, please refer to the manufacturer’s website.

  • The best Thunderbolt 5 dock by far
Style: TS5 Plus
I have had this dock for about three weeks, and it does everything it promises to do. The Thunderbolt 5 ports work exceptionally well. All of the charging ports provide their specified charging power. The audio port is exceptional. It's the first dock audio port that transmits high-quality sound. The 10 GbE Thunderbolt 5 Ethernet port is an exceptional value. The USB ports all perform as expected. The DP 2.1 DisplayPort will support nearly any level of monitor. This dock will easily support three 4k displays via the two downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports, which are DisplayPort 2.1 compatible. The downstream Thunderbolt 5 port will charge a laptop with 140W of power. Unlike any other dock, this one will charge everything you can connect to it at full power. It has two 36W USB-C charging ports. They charge my Samsung S24 Ultra very quickly. This dock has enough power to provide full charging capacity out of every single port even IF you have you are charging an accessory on every single port. There is NO other Thunderbolt dock on the market that will do that. ALL of the Thunderbolt 5 docks I have researched will not charge your computer at 140W if you're charging other accessories (like a phone, an iPad, a portable charging power bank, etc. This is the only dock on the market that doesn't have "dynamic charging." In other words, the more you plug into other docks, the slower everything charges, including your laptop. This dock charges EVERYTHING at full speed, no matter how many items you have plugged into it. The two card readers are super fast. They are so fast that you could use a 1 TB CF card as storage. I haven't had a single problem with this dock. Everything in this dock is state-of-the-art and cutting-edge, and ALL of its features work flawlessly. It's hands down the best dock on the market right now. This actually stunned me when I got the dock and was testing every function. Because it is so expensive, if any major feature had been buggy or failed to perform as advertised I would have returned it. But everything worked amazingly well on the dock. When you consider it includes a 10GbE Thunderbolt 5 ethernet port, which will provide LAN internet speeds of nearly 10 Gbps, it is an exceptional value. A separate Thunderbolt 5 10 GbE adapter would cost $200-$1000. This is the best dock you can buy right now, bar none. ... show more

  • The pinnacle of hubs
Style: TS5 Plus
This is awesome. I bought a few different hubs for my Mac Mini M4. Nothing worked as well as this. What I learned through this months long process is that the technology in the hub is the most important piece. Two examples. My external 8 TB SSD drive connected to this hub and then to the Mac is significantly faster than connecting the SSD directly to the Mac if you can believe that. This thing has better protocols than the Mac itself. I have some KEF speakers connected to my computer, and they are extremely touchy. They always require going in their own thunderbolt port and would refuse to work with any other hub. They work perfectly with this hub, which says a lot based on the huge headache they’ve given me for years. I’ve taken the severe power drain and strain off of my Mac, which is now running much cooler. I’m shocked at the cost of this thing, but it is worth every penny after dealing with all the other nightmare products. Always buy the hub with the greatest amount of ports you can afford. It’s always worth it. ... show more

  • Expensive but awesome
Style: TS5 Plus
I just got this a couple of days ago, so I can't say how it holds up long term. It is expensive but so far it just works. I didn't want flashy lights or a fan. I wanted to be able to hook up two 8k monitors via USBC. I love being able to have everything plugged into this and then just having 1 connection to my macbook. As lazy as it sounds, it makes me take the macbook away from my desk more often. Monitors, ethernet, audio, ... you name it. ... show more

  • Great hub although could be better ....
Style: TS5 Plus
Got a unit that was dead on arrival then got amazon to replace it. I was up and running in minutes of plugging in all my usb ports. Works great. Runs a little warm. I left plenty of room around for air flow. Wish it ran cooler but hey its 300W total power in this unit so I am not to surprised. Just concerned on longevity due to the heat dissipation. One thing to note the power light does not turn on the unit until it is connected to the laptop. I wish it had another another Display port, KVM switch, and fan for cooling., although there is more than enough USB ports for just everything including all the Thunderbolt-5 ports needed.... Price is higher than most but more features. ... show more

  • Unreliable for the Price — Connectivity Issues on MacBook Pro M5 Max
Style: TS5 Plus
At first glance, this looks like the perfect product — well-designed and feature-rich. Unfortunately, real-world use tells a different story. After running it for more than 24 hours, the connection to my MacBook Pro M5 Max drops intermittently for a few seconds. When this happens, the network interface goes down and does not recover on its own — the only fix is to physically disconnect and reconnect the cable. This is not a minor annoyance; it disrupts work entirely. I contacted support, and they confirmed this is a known driver issue, which means it is not an isolated defect but a systemic problem affecting the product as a whole. That acknowledgment is appreciated, but it does not justify selling a device at this price point while the core functionality remains broken. To make matters worse, the unit runs extremely hot during normal use — hot enough that you cannot comfortably hold your hand on the body for more than a few seconds. That raises legitimate questions about long-term reliability and safety. Bottom line: Until the driver issue is resolved, this device is significantly overpriced and does not deliver the value it promises. Buyer beware. ... show more

  • Great Thunderbolt 5 dock - I use it every day
Style: TS5 Plus
I got this as I am a full time remote worker. I use this for both my work laptop (windows), and my Macbook pro. There are plenty of Thunderbolt connections on the back, it's easy to set up, the build qualityis good as it's built out of aluminum. It can get fairly hot, I don't keep it under my monitor riser for that reason. For the most part, compatibility is fine. My dell laptop doesn't recognize the TS5+ as a full power charger. Dell laptops use a proprietary charging handshake/protocol so the TS5+ will only charge the laptop at 90w. This is a problem with Dell in my opinion. For the most part 90W is plenty for keeping my precision 5770 topped up. ... show more

  • Unusably unstable with MSI Thunderbolt laptops
Style: TS5 Plus
The specs on this are great, with so many useful ports built right in, a lot of downstream power delivery, and 10GbE is a crazy inclusion that I love. Unfortunately, it's extremely unstable on my Thunderbolt 5 MSI laptop and doesn't work at all with my Thunderbolt 4 MSI. With TB5, it'll work for some random amount of time (minutes to days) before suddenly cutting out. Everything plugged into it, including displays, cuts out and won't come back until the laptop is force-rebooted. It seems like when it crashes, it also causes the TB5 controller in the laptop to crash, which puts Windows into a zombie state where it can't recognize new devices or shut down normally. I've even had to reset the EC a few times when force-reboots weren't enough to bring the controller back to life. If I have the dock plugged into one TB5 port and literally anything else plugged into the other TB5 port on the laptop, everything falls into a connection loop before crashing. With TB4, some parts of the dock show up in Device Manager, like one of the USB controllers, but USB doesn't actually work, and the display outputs aren't recognized. It's also crashed the TB4 controller a few times, requiring an EC reset to bring it back to functional. For reference, the TB5 controller is an Intel 5781, and the TB4 controller is an Intel 1134. On an M4 Max MacBook Pro, the dock seems to work well, but that isn't what I bought this to use with. I can confirm that the issue is not a hardware issue in either laptop: CalDigit's TB4 hub works perfectly fine in both, a TB5 dock from another company also has no instability issues, and I've tried multiple different TB5 cables to no effect. It seems like this dock just only works with a very specific set of Thunderbolt controllers for some reason, even though CalDigit claims general PC compatibility. I wish I could recommend this dock, since it's well-built and full of handy ports, but with the current firmware, it's just completely unusable for me. Maybe in the future, a firmware update will fix the issues I mentioned, but for $500, I can't justify waiting. ... show more
