15 Ports of Extreme Connectivity for Thunderbolt 3 Workflows
When it comes to port connectivity, more is definitely more! The Thunderbolt Station 3 Plus offers ultimate connectivity by adding a staggering 15 ports for any application. The options go beyond the conventional, helping Thunderbolt 3 users to not only expand their connectivity but also charge their laptops. The power of Thunderbolt 3 combined with CalDigit’s long history designing docking solutions has resulted in the most powerful Thunderbolt 3 dock available.
Who is the TS3 Plus for?
The TS3 Plus is the ideal solution for Thunderbolt™ 3 Mac & PC users who need to connect multiple devices to their laptops such as SD Card Readers, USB hard drives, dual monitors, digital audio devices, Thunderbolt™ 3 components, and more.
In addition to all this, the TS3 Plus is the best option for both Mac and PC laptop charging. While other Thunderbolt™ 3 docks on the market can only charge one platform, CalDigit’s Thunderbolt™ 3 docks will provide up to 85W power delivery for both Mac and PC users.
With the TS3 Plus, a single Thunderbolt™ 3 port from your laptop expands to 15 ports! Power users need as many ports as they can get hold of and the TS3 Plus delivers on this promise. Whether you need multiple USB ports, dual 4K display connectivity, Digital Optical Audio out, or an SD Card Reader, the TS3 Plus packs everything into an incredibly compact unit. Don’t compromise on connectivity with the TS3 Plus!
The ONLY Thunderbolt 3 Dock with USB 3.1 Gen.2
CalDigit is the only manufacturer to offer a Thunderbolt™ 3 dock with USB 3.1 Gen.2 connectivity. All other docks on the market feature USB 3.1 Gen.1, which features 5Gb/s throughput. The TS3 Plus features one USB 3.1 Type-C Gen.2 port with 10Gb/s throughput. That is double the available performance from other Thunderbolt™ 3 docks.
Why would someone need USB 3.1 Gen.2? To put it simply, devices like high-performance SSDs require the full bandwidth of USB 3.1 Gen.2 in order to get full performance. While USB 3.1 Gen.1 ports can provide great performance, a Gen.2 port will get the maximum transfer speeds out of your high speed storage devices.
SD Card Reader
With the advent of digital media, transferring data from SD cards to computers has become an integral part of any project, especially digital photography and 4K videography. TS3 Plus’ SD card reaper supports SD 4.0 and UHS-II speeds with a maximum theoretical throughput of 312MB/s, which means that transferring data from SD, SDHC or SDXC cards will be done in no time. Why use a USB card reader when you can connect through the most powerful interface available, Thunderbolt™ 3!
Digital Optical Audio (S/PDIF)
When it comes to high quality audio playback, every audio enthusiast knows the benefits of using the best equipment to retain optimal audio signals in its purest state . The Digital Audio port allows users to connect directly to their amplifier, speakers, or home theatre receiver for a pure digital signal. You can playback high bit-rate audio files from the TS3 Plus on your stereo amplifier or hear every detail on your TV’s surround sound speakers. Audio from an external docking solution never sounded this good!
1-Click Software & Apple SuperDrive
The TS3 Plus works alongside an additional software utility that allows Mac users to conveniently eject the storage devices connected to their TS3 Plus directly from their Mac’s menu bar without manually ejecting each drive. In addition, CalDigit is one of the only dock manufacturers to support the Apple SuperDrive when connected to the dock. This is because the SuperDrive requires more power from the USB ports and CalDigit’s optional Mac driver brings this functionality back!
