CalDigit TS5 Plus (Thunderbolt Station 5 Plus)

Docks

This is what matters about CalDigit TS5 Plus (Thunderbolt Station 5 Plus).

About

The CalDigit TS5 Plus (the flagship TS5 variant — the base TS5 has no native HDMI or DisplayPort at all) routes video only through its Thunderbolt 5/DisplayPort 2.1 ports; HDMI requires a third-party adapter in a spare Thunderbolt port, and CalDigit's own manual notes that HDMI adapters cap out at 4K60 on every Apple Silicon Mac from M1 through M4 (their Thunderbolt controllers only support HDMI 2.0b). External monitor count again depends on chip: base M1/M2/M3 Macs get one display, Pro/Max and M4 Max chips get more, up to dual 8K60 on an M4 Max Mac or a Thunderbolt 5 Windows PC. Thunderbolt 3 Windows laptops are explicitly not supported by CalDigit.
