Belkin Connect Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station, 5-in-1 USB-C Multiport Core Hub w/ 96W Power Delivery for Mac, Windows, Single 8K or Dual 4K Display, Thunderbolt 4 Cable & Power Supply Included

Great piece of kit. Purchased to use with my Mac mini. Highly Recommended.

I love this product. I've only had it since yesterday but it's been a pretty flawless setup for me. One 4k 60hz monitor, audio interface, midi keyboard, webcam, and laptop cooling pad all go into this and are all fed by a single USB C cable into my MacBook Air m2 for faster charging than the default brick gives me. I have had no issues getting the monitor to work properly as other reviewers have noted, but that could be the newer chip?The downside is that my work laptop needs 120w power and so I didn't quite eliminate cable clutter, as I still have to use the existing power supply, but it's freed up every other port.Doesn't make any noise, doesn't seem to get too hot, it just sits there being unobtrusive.

Fairly expensive for what it is, but looks tidy and has a decent number of connections. However, I have had problems with displays repeatedly going black when connected to HDMI which persists with different laptops; I have resorted to using a HDMI to USB-C adapter to overcome this. Belkin support are not especially helpful and there are no driver or firmware updates for this dock so it looks like I'm stuck with it.

This is a great docking station.It is pretty heavy and sturdy build with a really nice design.The docking station is made in matt aluminum and the front and back sides are finished in high gloss black.The docking station is really fast and has so many ports.On the front there are 2x USB Type-C ports , SD card reader and 3.5mm audio in/out and a Power ON/OFF button.The USB Type-C are 1xThunderbolt 4 port and 1x USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 2 port with 90W PD fast charging.On the back there are 2x HDMI ports,1x Gigabit Lan port, Thunderbolt 4 port and 4x USB Type-A ports.The USB Type-A ports are 2x USB Type-A 3.1 ports and 2x USB Type-A 2.0 ports.There is also a 22V/5.45A power in port and there is a 120W power supply that you connect to the port.The power supply comes with 3 different power cables for connecting to mains sockets.There are cables with 3-PIN UK plug, EU plug and Swiss 3 PIN plug.This is really good as you don't need travel adapters to use the docking station when you travel.Both the front and the back Thunderbolt 4 ports are 40Gbps ,which is great for data transfer,like connecting external SSD or to connect monitor that has USB Type-C port.I really like that I can connect my MacBook only with one Thunderbolt 4 cable and use the same cable for everything.The cable gets my MacBook charged and also transfers the data from and to all my devices.I use the 0.8M Thunderbolt 4 cable that comes with the docking station connected to my MacBook and I have an external hard drive with another 40Gbps/100W rated USB Type-C cable.I also have my phone connected to the USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 2 to transfer pictures and videos to my MacBook and also a monitor connected via 8K/60Hz HDMI cable.The reason to use such an HDMI cable is to be able get the full 5K/60Hz resolution supported by the MacBook.The docking station supports dual 4K displays via the HDMI ports and you can also connect a third display via the second Thunderbolt 4 port ,but both of these can be used only if you laptop supports them.Some M1 MacBooks like mine support only one external screen so keep that in mind.The price of this Thunderbolt 4 Dock Pro docking station is £399.99 at the moment ,which is a pretty high price.The main reasons for the price are the Thunderbolt 4 ports and 40Gbps high speed data transfer that comes with them.When you have big data files to transfer on a daily basis you need something really fast.When you are multitasking or using external monitor as well, then you need something exactly like this.Recommend it.Hopefully my review was Helpful for you.

The media could not be loaded. There is, in theory, a lot to like, a couple of bits to love and a few things to dislike (the price of course being the main one!) with the new pro 4 dock from Belkin.Design wise, it’s incredibly sleek and professional looking with a mix of aluminium and plastic. It’s AC adapter is a bit of a brick but can thankfully be masked away pretty easily due to the cord length.The front has some pretty standard io at first glance with a few surprises at closer inspection – a multi functional SD card reader, 3.5MM audio jack in and out, USB-c 3.1 gen 2 port which supports fast charging and upstream (for connecting to your laptop) thunderbolt 4 port, next to a power button that allows you to stop the dock from delivering any power to devices when not in use (which I personally find pretty useful!).At the back, we’ve got power in, 2 HDMI ports (both supporting HDMI 2.0) , a downstream (for connecting to an external accessory or monitor) thunderbolt 4.0 port, a gigabit ethernet port and 4 USB-A ports (only two of these are 3.1 ports, with the other two being 2.0 ports).It can supply up to 90W pass through charging of a device, which is actually on the lower end when comparing against other similar priced docks. If you’re the type of power user that this level of dock is aimed at, this could well be a limiting factor depending on what beast of a machine is supposed to be connected to the dock!The dock can be fiddly when being used by Mac users. You won’t be able to make the most of both HDMI ports simultaneously for Mac Users, you’ll need to user a thunderbolt port for one display and a HDMI port for the other. This massively sways use of the dock towards favouring PC users, or a setup where Mac use is the very occasional use. This with the price bracket in mind is disappointing and very much worth bearing in mind.With the right laptop mind, you could in theory get a total of three displays connected at once – which is an impressive feat for a dock this size. The dock can support a single display at 8k (upto 30 hz), or dual 4k at 60hz, so it’s display options and flexibility is likely where this dock stands out to other competitors currently.For the right setup, this is a lovely professional dock. It seems to be tailored more towards adaptable office setups rather than homes with little additions like the power button and chosen ports but assuming you’ve got the right setup to make the most out of it (I personally wouldn’t consider this dock if my main driver was a Mac), it could well be a contender !
