CalDigit TS5 Plus Thunderbolt 5 Dock | 20 Ports, 140W PD, 10GbE, Dual 8K/6K

Meet the CalDigit TS5 Plus: a Thunderbolt 5 dock built for speed and flexibility

Designed for modern workstations, the TS5 Plus combines a dense array of ports with a robust power backbone. It serves as a central hub where fast data, reliable charging, and expansive display setups come together in a compact, metal chassis. The result is a connected desk that supports demanding workloads without sacrificing organization or airflow.

What you get: ports, power, and performance

• Three 80Gb/s Thunderbolt 5 ports ready for high-speed data, external storage, and daisy-chaining devices
• Five USB-A 10Gb/s ports and five USB-C 10Gb/s ports for fast periphery connections
• DisplayPort 2.1 plus SD 4.0 & microSD 4.0 UHS-II card readers for media work
• 10Gb Ethernet for rapid file transfers and NAS access
• Three audio ports for headphones, microphones, or line-out

Power that keeps working, not just charging

• Up to 140W of dedicated host charging to support power-hungry laptops
• 330W power supply delivers sustained power to all downstream ports
• Selected downstream ports provide up to 36W for accessories, enabling full-performance charging
• Bandwidth Boost in Thunderbolt 5 allocates up to 120Gb/s to displays when needed

Displays, video, and vibrant workflows

• macOS configurations: up to Dual 8K 60Hz displays; or Dual 6K 60Hz depending on hardware
• Windows configurations: up to Dual 6K 60Hz on TB4 hosts and up to Dual 8K 60Hz on TB5 hosts; triple 4K 144Hz on supported TB5 Windows setups
• Check with your computer manufacturer for the exact display limits and port compatibility

Networking, data, and cooling designed for reliability

• 10Gb Ethernet makes large file transfers and remote work lighter on the network
• Dual USB controllers prevent bottlenecks between front-facing and rear ports when many devices are connected
• Aluminum heat sink chassis helps manage heat during sustained operation

Use cases span creative studios, software development desks, and productive home offices. Imagine editing 8K footage with fast local storage, rendering tasks flowing without stalls, and a tidy desk with a single cable hub. While outcomes vary by host system and workload, the TS5 Plus is designed to support flexible configurations and growth over time.

Compatibility notes: for Windows, the 10Gb Ethernet driver may be required from CalDigit’s website; macOS users typically do not need extra drivers. To maximize performance, connect to a Thunderbolt 5 (80Gb/s) or USB4 v2 (80Gb/s) host; older hosts may have reduced functionality. Ensure ample clearance around the unit for cooling.
