The SD5000T5 EQ is an Intel-certified Thunderbolt 5 docking station built around the new 80 Gbps (120 Gbps Bandwidth Boost) controller. A single upstream TB5 cable carries data, up to three 4K@144 Hz displays (or two 6K/8K displays) and 140 W of charging to the host laptop. Three downstream TB5 ports handle video + peripherals — one is rated for 60 W to charge a second device, while the other two deliver 15 W each. Three USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a 2.5 GbE jack, dedicated UHS-II SD and microSD slots and a 3.5 mm combo audio jack round out a full-desktop replacement hub.
Thunderbolt 5 triple-4K dock with 140 W host PD, 3x TB5 downstream, 3x USB-A 10 Gbps, 2.5 GbE, UHS-II SD + microSD.
