USB-C and Thunderbolt docks, verified port by port

A dock is defined here by having both an Ethernet port and at least one dedicated video output — that combination is what separates it from a plain USB-C hub. 199 confirmed: 198 for notebooks, plus a smaller slice usable with handhelds over DisplayPort Alt Mode (39 Steam Deck, 20 ROG Ally, 8 Legion Go). PS5 and Xbox Series never appear here — neither console's ports carry DisplayPort Alt Mode, so no dock in this database can reach them regardless of what a listing claims.

macOS display limits trip up more docks than any other single issue. The Anker 575 (A8392) only extends a single external display on macOS — plug in a second monitor and it mirrors instead, a Single-Stream Transport ceiling on the chip, not a cable or setting problem. The Anker 563 (A8395) does better once its DisplayLink driver is installed, extending across up to 3 monitors on Apple Silicon M1 Macs.

On Thunderbolt 5 docks, how many displays you get depends entirely on which Mac chip is on the other end. The Anker Prime Thunderbolt 5 Dock (A83B5) gives base M1/M2/M3 chips a single display, while Pro/Max chips and every M4 get two — up to dual 6K60 on M4 Pro/Max. CalDigit's TS5 Plus follows the same chip-gated pattern, and caps its HDMI port at 4K60 on every Apple Silicon Mac regardless of chip tier, since that port is adapter-only rather than native.

A UGREEN Revodok Pro 209 (SKU 90912) is a reminder that "DisplayLink dock" means installing DisplayLink's own software, not just plugging in — without the driver, neither the display output nor the Ethernet port works correctly on Windows or macOS.
