Kensington SD5700T Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station for Windows and Mac

The SD5700T Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4K Docking Station with 90W PD, designed for both Windows 10 laptops and macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later MacBooks, offers a comprehensive set of features that cater to the needs of modern users. This premium docking station delivers the benefits of Thunderbolt 4 technology, ensuring compatibility and performance well into the future.

The docking station supports a wide range of video output options, including a single 8K display at 30Hz or dual 4K displays at 60Hz. For users with higher refresh rate requirements, it can also handle a single 4K display at 120Hz or dual 1080P displays at 120Hz. However, it's important to note that Macs with M1, M2, or M3 chipsets are limited to single-monitor support due to Apple's chipset limitations, while those with M1/M2/M3 Pro and M1/M2/M3 Max CPUs can utilize dual displays.

Connectivity is a key aspect of the SD5700T, with its Thunderbolt 4 port allowing users to connect their laptop directly to the dock. The included 0.8-meter Intel Certified Thunderbolt 4 cable ensures a secure and reliable connection. Additionally, users can connect their displays using one or two of the available Thunderbolt 4 ports, with the option to utilize USB-C to HDMI or USB-C to DisplayPort adapters or cables (not included).

The docking station's 180-Watt power supply delivers 90 Watts of power to charge the connected laptop, while also providing power to run peripherals such as hard drives, phones, and tablets. This includes support for Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB 4.0, USB 3, and USB 2 devices.

One of the standout features of the SD5700T is its static charging technology, which provides 15 Watts of power to each of the downstream Thunderbolt 4 ports without reducing the 90-Watt charge to the laptop. This ensures that the laptop receives its full power allocation, even when all other ports are in use.

The docking station offers a comprehensive set of ports, including three Thunderbolt 4 downstream ports, an SD card reader with UHS-II SD 4.0 support, four USB-A ports (one 5V/1.5A charging port and three Gen2@10Gbps ports), a Gigabit Ethernet port, and an audio combo jack. It also features an on/off switch, VESA mounting holes, and a Kensington lock slot for added security.

The SD5700T docking station also includes advanced features for IT managers, such as DockWorks WiFi Auto-Switch, MAC Address ID Pass-Through and Reset, and Device Connection Monitoring, which provide maximum network monitoring and visibility. Additionally, the Intel VT-d DMA protection helps block unauthorized access to the system memory.

With a three-year warranty and lifetime Kensington technical support, the SD5700T Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4K Docking Station is a reliable and versatile solution for users who demand the latest in Thunderbolt 4 technology and comprehensive connectivity options.
