Kensington SD5780T Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4K Docking Station – 96W PD, SD Card Reader, HDMI, USB, for Windows & MacBooks (K33040NA)

Overview

The Kensington SD5780T Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4K Docking Station is designed for the latest laptops that embrace TB4. With a single plug-and-play TB4 cable, you can drive up to two 4K monitors while keeping your device charged. The dock delivers fast data transfer speeds up to 40Gbps and supports a wide range of peripherals, making it a versatile hub for home, studio, or office setups.
