Anker's 14-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 dock pairs a 140W upstream host port with a built-in 250W GaN power supply, so a thirsty workstation laptop and a half-dozen peripherals can run off a single cable. Two downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports each push 80Gbps of bandwidth (or 120Gbps in Bandwidth Boost mode) for chained TB5 storage and displays. The rear panel exposes a single shared HDMI 2.1 / DisplayPort 2.1 output (one or the other at a time), 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, three 10Gbps USB-A ports, plus full-size SD and microSD UHS-I slots and an audio combo jack. Two front-panel USB-C ports together share 45W for fast phone or tablet charging.
