Product Description

Universally Compatible
Having the ability to use the TS4 on any Type-C computer or tablet is incredibly convenient.
Compatible with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4, and USB-C computers, the TS4 adapts to the host computer it connects to, providing the features available to your computer or tablet.
- Thunderbolt 4 PC
- Intel Thunderbolt 3 Mac¹
- M1 Pro, M1 Max & M1 Ultra Thunderbolt 4 Mac¹
- M1 Thunderbolt 3 Mac¹
- Thunderbolt 3 PC
- USB4 PC
- USB-C PC
- USB-C Windows Tablet
- Thunderbolt or USB-C iPad²
- Thunderbolt or USB-C Chromebook

Fastest Laptop Charging
When it comes to laptop charging the TS4 provides up to 98W of power delivery.
That is the highest charging provided by any Thunderbolt 4 dock, and is ideal for larger screen laptops that require more power.
For laptops or tablets that require less than 98W, the TS4 will only supply the wattage required by your device.
20W USB-C Port
One of the front-facing USB-C ports can supply up to 20W of power for your attached USB-C device.
This is ideal for accessories that require more power, such as Apple’s MagSafe wireless charger.

More is More
The TS4 offers a staggering 18 ports of connectivity, the most featured on any Thunderbolt dock ever. The purpose of a device like this is to never run out of ports, and for the majority of us, that should certainly not be the case with the TS4.
8 USB Ports
With 8 USB ports on the TS4, a mixture of USB-A and USB-C, you have plenty of port connectivity to connect your USB accessories³.
All of the USB ports on the TS4 offer 10Gb/s performance.
2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
The TS4 is a dock that provides a lot of unique features, and that is certainly the case with the inclusion of 2.5GbE.
2.5GbE is 2.5x faster than traditional Gigabit Ethernet, and is becoming the new standard for routers, switches, and NAS devices.⁴ The TS4’s 2.5GbE functionality represents great value for money.
Of course you can use the 2.5GbE port on the TS4 with traditional 1GbE Ethernet devices.

Single 8K or Dual 6K 60Hz Displays⁵
When it comes to connecting a monitor the TS4 offers outstanding visual clarity.
Single Monitor
If you’re looking to add a single monitor to the TS4 you can either connect it to the DisplayPort connector or to one of the spare Thunderbolt 4 ports. If you wish to connect a HDMI monitor you can either connect an Active DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter, or use a USB-C to HDMI Adapter (sold separately).
Dual Monitors
- macOS users on M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, or Intel based Macs can connect up to dual displays.
- M1 based Macs do not support dual monitors through their Thunderbolt ports.
- Windows PC Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 users can connect up to dual displays.

The Ultimate Dock for a Multi-Monitor MacBook Pro Setup
Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews. Please reload the page.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2025Writing this review after 7 months of use. I am using it with Macbook M3 Max. Supports TB4. I am running 2x 4K 60Hz monitors (1 on DP, other DP via usb-c to DP converter). Also connected to the same hub are 1Gbps network, keyboard, mouse, microphone and webcam. Everything works just fine. Keyboard keypress wakes it up and wakes up fast. Switching between laptops is seamless and fast. I get full 60Hz/4K resolution on both monitors. Video doesn't lag on WebCam.
For reference previously I was using a startech TB3 dock and it won't be able to support WebCam. I had to connect WebCam separately. This supports everything seamlessly and without a hiccup. And yes, no drivers required, it doesn't use DisplayLink.
It has lot of ports for connectivity and power. Honestly, I don't know if there's anything better than this available in the market for my setup: Macbook with TB4 and (absolutely no DisplayLink).
- Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2022Long story. I recently switched from a 2015 iMac 27" with an extra LG 27" monitor. The new setup is MacBook Pro M1 14" and added a second LG 27" monitor. Both the LG monitors are Thunderbolt 3 connections only.
While I can connect the monitors to the laptop direct, I wanted something more unplug and go. The plan was to connect the two monitors via a dock. Then the laptop to the dock via a single cable, and things all work together. I had a dream.
Tried one combo dock and a vertical stand. But it only supported HDMI inputs. I thought I would be able to connect the Thunderbolt connections from the monitors to the dock HDMI ports using some connectors. No go. I returned that dock. Then found another brand. It looked promising. I was about to hit the purchase button but then noticed at the bottom of the page a video link to the CalDigit TS4. Watching the video and reading other reviews, this was the one I really wanted.
Now the only problem was at the time, Amazon showed it unavailable and no expected date. Checked the CalDigit site and other suppliers. All out of stock. This was either a phantom product or really popular.
After a few weeks, I went to purchase something else, and just by chance, I returned to the TS4 product page. It showed as available. Faster than fast, I clicked that purchase button to lock it in. It arrived a few days later (this week). The setup was dead simple. Just unplug the monitor cables connected to my laptop over to the new dock. More the network cable. Then boom, everything works. Dual monitor working. The laptop is off to the side and still have plenty of deskspace for other stuff. And just a single cable to unplug the laptop if I'm going remote.
The only a few negative comments. There are two. First, the dock seems to run very warm. Well warmer than I expected. Not hot, like melt your desk, or anything. Just warmer than expected to the touch. The second is the network awake. With the RJ-45 cable connected, when I go in the office in the morning, it doesn't seem to reconnect on wake. I like to have a hard-wire connect over using home WiFi. I know there are some fixes on the CalDigit support site. For me it was easier just to connect the home network direct to the laptop.
My only other comment is to CallDigit to maybe drop the memory slots and replace them with another pair of high-speed USB ports. I personally have not had a need to use a card reader in over five years. Seems if someone had that need, there are USB products they could use instead. However, the same can be said of Apple on the latest laptops.
Overall 9.5/10.0 Very well-made product. Solid material.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2023All my issues are gone with this docking station. My MacBook pro now recognize all the devices connected with no issue and my desk looks clean. A bit expensive but if you are on your computer for long periods of times I see this as an investment. I've had no issues AT ALL with this docking station. Before I had to be restarting my computer so many times. MAC would not recognize my second monitor, or my mic , CAC, you name it. If you are a MAC user and you have a whole setup on your desk with multiple devices connected to your computer, this is your deal for functionality, otherwise you will always have issues. I've tried many different options and I wish I would have buy this one since the beginning. I kept going from docking station to docking station and trying not to spend this amount of money I ended up spending twice what this docking station cost. So believe me, if you want something that works, that is good quality but that it also looks good this is it. Almost forgot to say that I also use this dock with My Dell 5570, my surface and it is compatible with all of my laptops.

5.0 out of 5 stars Robust and Reasonable
The TS4 arrived earlier than exepected and as was said in other reviews this is.solid piece of electrical equipment. Took all of 5 minutes to setup and get working, downloaded the software from the internet and has worked flawlessly since. I have the Macpro Desktop that should be able to handle a 4k monitor, 2 30 inch Cinema on Dual dvi and one HDMI with 1920x1080.. The Macpro can’t handle the load so I thought I would try hooking the 2 30inch Apple cinemas with dual DVI conveters/USBs and voila it’s cooking with gas.
The MacPro had the 4k monitor and HDMI outputs and functions perfectly with the TS4 running the Apple cinemas. Couldn’t for the life of me get the HDMI out[it to function on the Mac-ro after the recent upgrade and change of the display function, OWC used ti be my go to for Mac products, CalDigit is now.
Cheers Cliff

5.0 out of 5 stars El mejor Dock para MacBook M1
La verdad compré este producto bastante a la expectativa, con mucha reserva y miedo la verdad por que es un producto bastante caro, y que si uno lee todas las reviews aquí en Amazon honestamente dan ganas de no comprarlo…
Pero es que en el mercado no hay otra opción cómo está, con tantos puertos a tu disposición, con un sistema de carga rápido y confiable, con tantos puertos Thunderbolt disponibles y con una marca reconocida que lo respalda… entonces después de agotar las opciones en el mercado comparados con CallDigit, pues las opciones similares cuestan lo mismo o más caro y tienen las mismas reseñas de terror, así que me aventuré a comprarlo.. llevo ya unas semanas con el, me parece que más de un mes y se ha comportado increíblemente bien, el funcionamiento es óptimo, no he teñido problemas de sobre calentamiento, ni dificultades para que mi Mac con M1 reconozca los discos duros externos que le conecto. En mi flujo de trabajo actual ocupo hasta 3 discos externos conectados al mismo tiempo, con mi dungle anterior simplemente conectarlos al mismo tiempo era imposible, era mucha pérdida de tiempo pasar los archivos de un disco duro a la lap y de ahí otra vez a otro disco duro… era simplemente ineficiente… además no he actualizado al más reciente OS de apple Ventura , por que he leído también de muchísimos fallos con el Wifi, con el Bluetooth y con programas vitales para mi como photoshop, o la suite de Adobe, entonces también tenía miedo pues leí que ciertos problemas del CallDigit TS4 se resolvían actualizando al nuevo sistema operativo, pero oh sorpresa funciona mas que bien con el sistema entéricos Monterrey, así que no he presentado fallas, fluye de maravilla con 3 discos duros externos, 1 Hdd Toshiba de 4 Tb y 2 NVME M.2 de 1Tb de Adata , además de un teclado y mouse Logitech y un Monitor 4K LG… todo funciona excelente así que les recomiendo mucho compren este dispositivo sin miedo y sin preocupación por las malas reseñas, creo que Call Digit ha prestado atención y solucionado todos sus problemas con este dispositivo.

4.0 out of 5 stars افضل جهاز ممكن تشتريه
ما ندمت ابدا اني شريته يستاهل سعره لكن, واجهتني مشكلة وحدة مالقيت لها حل , ان نظام الويندوز ما يتعرف على كيبل الايثرنت , ويبدو لي انها مشكلة عند كل ملاك TS4

1.0 out of 5 stars Ethernet doesn't work.
The ethernet port doesn't work, everything else works fine, just not the ethernet port, i had to buy a USB to ethernet adapter for it to get ethernet, not sure what sort of dodgy ethernet card they put in these things.
