20-Port Thunderbolt 5 Dock
The CalDigit TS5 Plus is a Thunderbolt 5 docking station built for professionals who need extensive I/O from a single cable. It provides 20 ports including three Thunderbolt 5 ports, ten USB 10Gb/s ports, DisplayPort 2.1, dual card readers, 10Gb Ethernet and three audio ports. This layout suits creative workstations that connect multiple high-speed drives, displays and peripherals simultaneously. It is not for users who only need a few USB ports or basic video output.
Sustained 140W Host Charging with 330W PSU
A 330W power supply enables the dock to deliver 140W of dedicated power to the host laptop continuously, even while every other port is under load. Downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports and one front USB-C port supply up to 36W each for charging accessories such as a MacBook Air. The large power reserve prevents throttling during long render or transfer sessions. Buyers who need more than 140W host charging should look elsewhere.
Three 80Gb/s Thunderbolt 5 Ports
The decisive specification is the trio of Thunderbolt 5 ports running at 80Gb/s with 64Gb/s PCIe bandwidth, which determines whether ultra-fast Thunderbolt SSDs or dual 8K 60Hz displays can perform at their rated speed. macOS systems support dual 6K 60Hz or dual 8K 60Hz configurations through these ports. If your workflow does not require 80Gb/s Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth, a simpler dock will suffice.

Questions about this item
How much heat or fan noise does the 330W PSU produce when the dock runs all day at full 140W host charging?
The 330W power supply is sized to deliver sustained 140W host charging plus 36W on downstream ports without throttling, so the dock stays cool and quiet under continuous load.
Which laptop port must my machine have to use the 80Gb/s Thunderbolt 5 connection and 140W charging?
Your laptop needs a Thunderbolt 5 or Thunderbolt 4 port that supports 140W Power Delivery; the included 1.0m braided cable connects directly to that port.
Will my existing 10Gb/s USB-A drives and 60Hz monitors work at full speed through the dock's 20 ports?
Yes — the dock provides 5x USB-A 10Gb/s, 5x USB-C 10Gb/s, DisplayPort 2.1 and dual card readers, so legacy 10Gb/s peripherals and 60Hz displays run at their native rates.
