https://www.techpowerup.com/289075/accell-debuts-its-next-generation-thunderbolt-4-docking-station Accell, a provider of innovative, customer-centric power products and connectivity solutions, today announced the release of its Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station (P/N: K160B-002G), establishing a new standard in power technology. The Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station allows multiple peripheral connections to your systems through one single Thunderbolt 4 cable, becoming a power hub for the technology that surrounds you.
Accell upgraded its Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station power technology to also connect and expand—outfitting this updated technology with 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports, 1x DisplayPort 1.4 port, 3x USB 3.1 Gen2 Type A ports, 1x USB 2.0 Type A port, 1x SD 4.0 UHS-II card reader, 1x 3.5 mm audio combo jack, and gigabit Ethernet port. With 40 Gbps bandwidth, the Thunderbolt 4 certified docking station supports high speed data transfer, 8K video, power delivery and more. The station supports a single 8K@30 Hz or dual UHD 4K@60 Hz external monitors using any two ports of the available DisplayPort 1.4 and two Thunderbolt 4 ports.
In addition to its leading 96 W PD, it also supports power to the peripherals at 15 W on Thunderbolt 4 ports, and charging on USB Type-A ports, allowing for more flexible charging options. Compatibility is key, which is why the Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station works with Microsoft Windows 10 (RS4 and above) and Microsoft Windows 11 Thunderbolt 4 enabled laptops (Intel Evo Platforms) and macOS 11 (Big Sur and newer) MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 ports.
"We are immensely proud of the newest generation of our Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station and the power in delivery technology that comes with it," Tenny Sin, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "To increase PD, while not sacrificing data transfer, video, and connectivity, is a testament to the hard work we've done to provide a best-in-class experience for our loyal customers."
The benefits and key features of Thunderbolt 4 Docking include:
- Expanded ports: Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station equips users to increase the number of devices by connecting to a laptop or desktop PC. For instance, gamers can connect a gaming keyboard, a wired gaming mouse, external monitor, and SSD to a dock, and then to a PC with a single Thunderbolt 4 cable.
- Cable management: Users can keep their workstation organized with just one cable going from the dock to their PC or laptop, keeping workstation areas clean and clutter free…
- Seamless throughput: With a bandwidth of 40 Gbps, the Thunderbolt 4 ports makes it easy for users to connect high performance gadgets and use them at their optimal speeds without deluging the port's capacity.
- Mobility: By easily detaching one cable instead of three or four provides users to relocate their devices.
Setting a new market standard, the Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station advances Accell's mission to provide value to customers using friendly designs, quality products, and next-generation technology.
Accell's Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station is available on 12/6 with an MSRP of $299. For more information, visit the
