Belkin Corporation will release the “Belkin Connect 14-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station,” a flagship docking station compatible with the latest next-generation interface standard, “Thunderbolt 5.” This product is a next-generation docking station that adopts the latest Thunderbolt 5 standard. It offers significantly higher data transfer performance than the conventional Thunderbolt 4 and provides up to 140W of power delivery in a single device, transforming your laptop into a high-end workstation with just one cable.
In addition to DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 (both supporting 4K/60Hz), the device utilizes two Thunderbolt 5 ports to enable the creation of triple 4K/144Hz displays or triple/dual 8K/60Hz displays. This makes it suitable for applications that require simultaneous use of multiple high-resolution monitors, such as 3DCG production, video editing, and data analysis.
For networking, it features a 2.5Gb Ethernet port, providing a fast and stable communication environment for sending and receiving large files and high-definition streaming. Furthermore, it is equipped with an SD 4.0/microSD 4.0 card reader, supporting high-speed data import from memory cards.
