Belkin launches new 14-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 dock with 140W charging and triple 4K display support

Days after Baseus launched the Spacemate RD1 Pro 15-port docking station at $300, Belkin has launched its own 14-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Dock in China at 2,299 yuan, approximately $338. Connecting to a host via a single Thunderbolt 5 upstream port, the dock comes with an 180W power adapter and a one-meter Thunderbolt 5 cable.

Power delivery to your laptop tops out at up to 140W over that single connection. For data, the dock offers 80Gbps of transfer performance by default, then scales up to 120Gbps if it detects that more bandwidth is needed from the system due to higher-end monitors.

The dock includes one DisplayPort 2.1 and one HDMI 2.1 output, each of which supports up to 8K at 60Hz (or 4K at 240Hz) depending on the display. Two downstream TB5 ports are also included, passing video and supplying up to 15W apiece for accessories. On Windows, this model will even run up to three external 4K displays at 144Hz, or four screens in all. Mac support varies based on the chip, M4/M5 Apple Silicon models can drive multiple external displays, but M1/M2/M3 Macs max out on what Apple’s silicon can do.

The peripherals cover most desktop needs: a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, a 3.5mm audio jack, one USB-C 3.2 port (30W), a second USB-C 3.2 port (7.5W), one USB-A 3.2 (at 10Gbps), and two USB-A 3.0 (each 5Gbps). UHS-II SD 4.0 and microSD 4.0 card readers top out at 312MB/s. The aluminum chassis (22.2 x 8.5 x 2cm, 510g) includes a thermal management system, power button, LED status light, and Kensington lock slot.

It works with Thunderbolt 4, USB4, and USB-C devices, though with limited bandwidth, Thunderbolt 3 isn’t supported. Belkin hasn’t officially announced the dock anywhere else besides China yet, though the company briefly listed it on its global site at $350 before pulling the page.
