Kensington SD4500 USB-C Docking Station 2 in 1 accessory

SKU CH-8T68-43DF0

Adds 4K video, data and peripheral connections to USB-C laptops via a single cable

  • Single-cable desktop access via USB-C connection
  • Dual 4K displays at 30 Hz on Windows systems
  • Single 4K display at 60 Hz for Mac and Chrome OS
  • Thunderbolt 3 compatible without full Thunderbolt speeds
  • Zero-footprint mounting option for space-constrained desks

Universal USB-C Docking Station

The Kensington SD4500 provides a single-cable connection between compatible laptops and desktop peripherals. It targets users of 2015 or 2016 MacBook Retina 12, Dell XPS 13 9350, XPS 15 9550, or Precision 5510 models. Windows 10, macOS Sierra, and Chrome OS devices with USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports are also supported.

Desk Integration And Video Outputs

Zero Footprint Mounting allows the dock to be secured behind a monitor or under a desk when the optional mount is purchased. Dual 4096x2160 displays at 30 Hz are possible on Windows via HDMI and DisplayPort; Mac and Chrome OS host devices only drive a single external monitor. Direct HDMI-to-HDMI or DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort cables are required for video.

Sustained Operation Without Power Delivery

The unit does not deliver charging power to the host laptop, so the original power adapter must remain connected during extended sessions. Thunderbolt 3 compatibility ensures a stable link, though data transfers run at USB-C speeds rather than full Thunderbolt bandwidth. Continuous 4K video at 60 Hz to a single display is maintained without thermal throttling.

  • Dual 4K displays at 30 Hz on Windows systems

Questions about this item

What video resolution and refresh rate does the SD4500 support on a single monitor?

The dock delivers 4096x2160 at 60 Hz to a single display over HDMI or DisplayPort.

How much heat or fan noise does the SD4500 produce during all-day operation?

The unit has no fan and draws minimal power, so it runs silently and stays cool to the touch.

Which host port must my laptop provide for the SD4500 to function?

Your laptop needs a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode; USB 3.0-only ports will not work.
