Each display or Thunderbolt peripheral consumes its chosen output. A data-only USB-C socket cannot drive a monitor. Shared bandwidth and actual charging depend on the host and connected devices.
Start with what’s included.
- Dock
- 1.0m braided Thunderbolt 5 host cable
- 330W power supply
- AC power cord
- Rubber feet strips
Display cables and video adapters are separate. The checker counts them as owned only when you confirm the required quantity and rating; otherwise their cost remains unknown.
330W is the power-supply rating; host delivery is at most 140W. These are different numbers.
EXACT HOSTS, QUALIFIED ANSWERS
Your computer sets the screen limit.
| Our checked host | Native display budget | Remaining conditions |
|---|---|---|
| MacBook Air M1 (2020) | One external native display total | macOS 15 or later; cable, power and exact timing checks still apply |
| MacBook Air 13-inch M4 (2025) | Two external native displays total | macOS 15 or later; the finder covers up to two 4K60 routes |
| Dell XPS 13 9315 laptop | Up to two checked native display routes | Windows 11 plus the required Thunderbolt firmware must be confirmed; this remains unverified in the preset |
Displays connected elsewhere use the same native display budget. No DisplayLink workaround is assumed. Other computer models and higher-resolution/high-refresh modes need separate evidence.
Know these limits.
- Ordinary USB-C hosts and Thunderbolt 3 Windows PCs are unsupported.
- Windows 10GbE requires the CalDigit driver; full USB/PCIe functionality needs a suitable host.
- Thunderbolt4 or newer, Intel12th generation or newer, Thunderbolt NVM firmware43.3 or newer. The separate USB4 branch is also supported; do not turn Intel wording into an unsupported blanket AMD rejection.
Protected streaming needs a verified monitor/cable/adapter/service chain. A native dock alone does not guarantee HDCP playback.
