Fourteen ports, including dual Thunderbolt 5 downstream, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, 2.5Gbps Ethernet, and 140W laptop charging. Supports 8K single display or dual 4K\/60Hz simultaneously. Built-in active cooling keeps it stable under sustained load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.1); border-collapse: collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"50%\" style=\"background: #F5F3EF; padding: 14px 16px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.08); vertical-align: top;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #888888; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eThunderbolt Version\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a;\"\u003eThunderbolt 5 — 80Gbps \/ 120Gbps boost\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"50%\" style=\"background: #F5F3EF; padding: 14px 16px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.08); vertical-align: top;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #888888; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003ePower Delivery\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a;\"\u003e140W laptop charging\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: #F5F3EF; padding: 14px 16px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.08); vertical-align: top;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #888888; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eDisplay Output\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a;\"\u003e8K single · Dual 4K\/60Hz\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: #F5F3EF; padding: 14px 16px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.08); vertical-align: top;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #888888; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eTotal Ports\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a;\"\u003e14\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: #F5F3EF; padding: 14px 16px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.08); vertical-align: top;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #888888; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eEthernet\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a;\"\u003e2.5Gbps RJ45\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: #F5F3EF; padding: 14px 16px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.08); vertical-align: top;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #888888; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eCooling\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a;\"\u003eActive — built-in fan\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: #F5F3EF; padding: 14px 16px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.08); vertical-align: top;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #888888; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eUSB-A Ports\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a;\"\u003e3 × USB-A 10Gbps\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: #F5F3EF; padding: 14px 16px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.08); vertical-align: top;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #888888; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eCard Readers\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a;\"\u003eSD + microSD (UHS-I)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; color: rgba(255,255,255,0.9); text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eWho is this for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 14px; color: rgba(255,255,255,0.6); line-height: 1.85; margin: 0 0 20px;\"\u003eProfessionals with a Thunderbolt 5-equipped laptop who want the absolute best dock available right now. Thunderbolt 5 is currently found in select MacBook Pro M4 Pro\/Max models and a small number of high-end Windows laptops — if you're unsure whether your laptop supports TB5, check the port markings or your laptop's spec sheet. Works with Thunderbolt 4 laptops too, but at TB4 speeds.

In practical terms, this means the dock can run dual 4K\/60Hz displays, transfer data at full speed, and charge your laptop at 140W simultaneously without any bottleneck. The active cooling fan is worth knowing about — it does run audibly under full load, which is the one trade-off versus passive docks. If your laptop supports TB5 and you need maximum performance, this is the dock to buy. If you're on a MacBook Air or standard USB-C laptop, save your money and buy the CalDigit TS3 Plus instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Anker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50160485892353,"sku":"DL180001","price":625.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/6563\/1233\/files\/AnkerPrimeTB5DockingStation.webp?v=1786022008","url":"https:\/\/desklab.com.au\/products\/anker-prime-tb5-docking-station-14-in-1-thunderbolt-5","provider":"DeskLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
