Thunderbolt 5 docking stations have arrived in the US market, offering double the bandwidth of the previous generation. This upgrade matters because it allows users to connect more high-resolution displays and faster storage devices without bottlenecking their systems. Buyers with high-end laptops should take note as these docks unlock new connectivity options for 2026 workflows.

New docks from UGREEN, Satechi, and Keychron bring double bandwidth to the US market

UGREEN leads the current lineup with two distinct models designed for different user needs. The Maxidok 17-in-1 includes 17 ports total, two Thunderbolt 5 ports rated at up to 120Gbps, three USB-A and three USB-C ports at 10Gbps, and a built-in M.2 NVMe SSD slot that supports drives up to 8TB over an 80Gbps connection. The Maxidok 10-in-1 is the lower-priced model, listed between $229 and $249. Both docks went on sale in the US in March 2026.
