Review: This dock has no problem when going sleeping mode. Well waked. 180W power enough to supply current. - Today, i got sd5700t, and test all round, i was worried about sleep mode problem, who wrote this. Don't about this problem, I try to make unpleasant environment to meet this problem, for hibernate mode. Well wake up. 180-watt power is for itself operation 90 watt and supply for connect to devices 90watt. The power is enough than other same products, etc. The OWC,. small than 130W. I was fully tested the OWC counterparts, the test scores is thunderbolt 3 controller with extern storages, a little lower for writing speed. OWC score higher for writing speed. but a littler. Yes OWC counterparts also good things, but have no control for sleep mode, so it powers on states, connected all device have consume Energy even no signals. Notebooks goes power off. the Doc work continues. Now only use 1 days. If i find a problem, Tell here. Currently, I find a problem when using USB A port which is located back, three usb port, which speeds 10gbps. When i test speed, very slow and disconnected when testing, the device separated. So i have to initialized. for hardware problem, i will test same H/W dock. Kensington sent another dock, i will compare each docks. I test the dock from exchanged same another dock, find same problem. The problem is related power suppled USB port A, about 900mA. Tested device is extern SSD disk, with 512GB, i guess, USB A port is only used low power devices, for keyboard, mouse, printer, small usb device. I move to the SSD disk to thunderbolt port, then no problem from now. SD5700t have three thunderbolt port 2 port for dual monitor, last for other device for high speed, more power device, extern SSD device. I accept this problem to avoid use USB A port. Thanks. finally, i test LG S8 27inch, 4k monitor to connected DP-ALT mode, Well operate, So I conclude All my tesing is mostly Good, USB A ports a little unstable, but it is the Extern Disk have much eats current more 900ma. thanks again to give me a chance to another same Dock to compare it's operating. More over back to a little money, The Dock discount when i test. I will back to another dock because i finished test. Thinks for desertcart.` My system, notebook is Lg gram 2022,17inch, Intel 12gen, with thunderbolt 4 included. Windows 11 home, Korean. Recently i find this device is unstable and weak at USB A port are, backpanel 3 port and flont one usb 2.0 port, total 4 usb A port have problems, i have to buy new one, i recommand that DONT USE STRESS USB A port if so do lan port will dead,
Review: Professional pass-through rates with straightforward connectivity - This dock just works. The aluminum body dissipates heat to the point I’ve never felt it. Multiple devices can charge quickly, and it interfaces well with my Studio Display. As far as compatibility goes, each device I have connected gets sufficient current to charge and connect to any peripheral devices. I never notice delays when waking my computer, though there seems to be some lag when connecting an iPad or iPhone to the external display. The included bracket makes this easy to mount in a concealed spot, though it looks nice enough to leave on your desk. Also, it’s compact that the protruding cords take up far more space. My one gripe is the power brick that is larger and heavier than the dock itself.

## Features

- Thunderbolt 4 docking station for Thunderbolt 4 Windows laptops and Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 MacBooks (macOS 11 or later); if you have a Thunderbolt 3 Windows laptop, this is not the dock for you, see part # K34009US)
- Supports single 8K or dual 4K @ 60 Hz, single 4k @ 120Hz, or dual 1080P @120Hz Hz video output for Thunderbolt 4 devices; (note: any Macs with the M1, M2 or M3 chipset will only display to a single monitor due to Apple’s chipset limitations, but Macs with M1/M2/M3/M4 Pro or Max, and M4 base CPUs will work with dual displays)
- Connect your laptop to the Thunderbolt 4 port (.8 meter Intel Certified TB4 cable included); connect your displays using one or two of the Thunderbolt 4 ports (usb-c to hdmi or usb-c to DisplayPort adapter or cable not included); unused Thunderbolt ports can connect directly to Thunderbolt devices (up to five additional via daisy chain, max 2 per port) while providing transfer speeds up to 40Gbps
- 180 Watt Power Supply delivers 90W power to charge your laptop; delivers additional power to run peripherals like hard drives, and for charging phones and tablets including Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB 4.0, USB 3 and USB 2 peripherals
- Static charging technology provides 15W to each of the downstream Thunderbolt 4 ports without taking power from the laptop – laptop still receives full 90W of power even when all other ports are utilized; other Thunderbolt 4 docks will divert power away from the laptop
- Three Thunderbolt 4 downstream ports (all capable of data, video and audio and 15w power each); SD card reader (UHS-II SD 4.0); four USB-A ports (one 5V/1.5A charging port and three Gen2@10Gbps ports); one Gigabit Ethernet port; one audio combo jack; on/off switch Vesa mounting holes (see Kensington mounting bracket, part # K34050WW); Kensington lock slot (for a lock see part #K65035AM or K60600WW)
- DockWorks WiFi Auto-Switch guarantees the fastest, most reliable internet connection; while MAC Address ID Pass-Through and Reset, and Device Connection Monitoring give IT managers maximum network monitoring and visibility; Intel VT-d DMA protection blocks peripheral devices from unauthorized access to system memory.
- Three-year warranty and lifetime Kensington technical support
- This dock supports the Gigabit Ethernet standard which provides a maximum data rate of 1Gbps. Actual Ethernet speeds may vary depending on, but not limited to, Internet bandwidth, Ethernet cables, network switches, and the hardware and firmware performance of the host computer

**Q: My wife uses a macbook (thunderbolt) & i use a windows 10 laptop (hdmi) and we need a docking station to connect to 2 hdmi monitors. will this work?**
A: Hi, if you have a Windows 10 with TB4, then you would just need to buy two USB-C to HDMI cables or two USB-C to HDMI adapter, for the video adapter, please check out Kensington VU4000 USB 3.0 to HDMI 4K video adapter (K33988WW) which may meets your requirement.
Thank you for your question!

**Q: I have a laptop with two tb 4 ports.  i have 2 external displays that have only hdmi inputs. how do i make this dock work with it?**
A: Hi, you could connect the dock with one of the TB4 port on your laptop, and then use the USB-C to HDMI adapter for connecting the external monitors with this SD5700t Thunderbolt 4 docking station via the Thunderbolt 4 video output. For the video adapter, please check out Kensington VU4000 USB 3.0 to HDMI 4K video adapter (K33988WW) which would meets your requirement.
Thank you for your question!

**Q: Can you get 4k and 120hz on the downstream tb4 ports?**

Thank you for your question!

**Q: yes i have a question about power cable, here korea, 
I hope you will select a good power cable which can use korea okey?**
A: The dock comes with a switching (120/240V 50/60Hz) power supply; only the wire that connects the power supply to the wall is specific to your country. I would assume that if the unit is sold in Korea, the correct cable is included or would be widely available.

### ⭐ Not Mac compatible (read this if you have a Mac)
*by A***7 on November 21, 2023*

I have a MacBook Pro Silicon. The Kensington SD5700T device fails to connect to my 2 standard 1080 monitors when the computer wakes up from sleep. I have to turn the dock on and off several times, lift my laptop lid, close it, etc... And then it MIGHT connect. When it finally connects, half of the time the keyboard/mouse aren't working. Forcing me into yet another cycle of turning it on and off. It's really frustrating and a big time waster. Everything works flawlessly when the monitors are connected to the laptop directly, proving the fault lies with the dock. And now for the worst part, the manufacturer does not stand behind the product at all. I've been in contact with their India-based customer support center for the past WEEKS and they give me the run-around. Every e-mail comes from a different rep and they don't read what the previous rep said. They make me go through the same stupid troubleshooting steps every day, asked me and received my invoice several times, feigned misunderstanding the problem, etc. I've explicitly asked for a refund several times and their answer is a new set of troubleshooting steps. So now I'm stuck with an expensive paperweight and I have to buy another brand. If you have a Mac, steer clear of this dock and try the Caltech (I've heard good things about it but opted for this one as it is cheaper- mistake). I'm thinking of asking Amazon to remove that Mac designation because it's clearly not been tested with the Silicon Macs.
