Introduction
Rocstor introduces the most powerful Thunderbolt™ 4 dock, offering an advanced, efficient, and versatile I/O solution with speeds of up to 40Gb/s for data and video transmission. The Thunderbolt 4 port enables cascading Thunderbolt devices up to 6 levels, supporting one 8K monitor or two 4K/60Hz monitors. Additionally, it allows for connecting three displays simultaneously, achieving triple displays output (max 4K/60Hz*2 + 4K/30Hz) with distinct images when paired with TBT4/USB4 Windows PCs. The RJ45 port supports a maximum bandwidth of 2.5G, while the USB ports facilitate rapid 10G data transmission. The Type-C PD port supports either max 10G data transmission or mobile phone charging at up to 30W. Furthermore, it features a smart power function that optimally distributes power based on connected device consumption, maximizing the use of external power supply. Designed for TBT4/USB4-based PCs, it’s also compatible with TBT3/DP-Alt-mode PCs.
