The ALOGIC Thunderbolt 4 BLAZE Docking Station with USB-C support is a next generation Thunderbolt 4 dock designed to work with both Thunderbolt and USB-C equipped laptops.
Designed for when speed and performance matter, the dock provides a massive 40Gbps bandwidth for connecting external displays and high-speed peripherals such as external hard drives. Unlike existing Thunderbolt docks which only provide a single Thunderbolt downstream port, the ALOGIC BLAZE docking station can connect up to 3x downstream Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4.0 peripherals. With the addition of the inbuilt SD 4.0 card reader this dock offers unparalleled productivity for creative professionals.
Truly Universal – Future Proofed and Backwards Compatible
Compatible with Mac and Windows computers this dock works with all modern host computers, whether connected via a Thunderbolt or USB-C port.
Not just Thunderbolt equipped, the dock is also future proofed for compatibility with future notebooks and peripherals which adopt the upcoming USB 4.0 standard.
Dual Ultra-High Definition Display: 4K@60Hz
The BLAZE dock provides dual monitor support for Thunderbolt equipped host computers and single monitor support for hosts connected using USB as follows:
• Thunderbolt 3 or 4: Dual 4K monitors at 60Hz*
• USB-C USB 3.x: Single 4K monitor at up to 60Hz†
The Thunderbolt/USB-C ports on the rear of the dock provide the video outputs and are designed to connect directly to late model monitors equipped with a USB-C video input. The dock can also be connected to monitors with legacy HDMI and DisplayPort inputs using USB-C video adapters or video cables (available separately).
* M1 based Apple devices can only support a single external monitor connected via Thunderbolt or USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
† USB-C port must be DisplayPort 1.4 Alternate Mode compatible for 4K output at 60Hz. Machines supporting DisplayPort 1.2 will output resolutions up 2560x1600 at 60Hz or 4K at 30Hz.
Comprehensive Connectivity
The ALOGIC BLAZE dock features a comprehensive range of ports to allow connection of all standard peripherals including:
•3 x Thunderbolt/USB-C (40G)
•3 x USB-A (10G)
•1 x USB-A with Mobile Device Charging (480Mbps)
•Gigabit Ethernet
•Combo Headphone/Microphone Jack
•SD 4.0 Card Reader
The USB-C ports allow the connection of external monitors or any other USB-C peripherals. Being ultra high-speed Thunderbolt/USB 4.0 ports, users can transfer files to and from external storage devices connected to these ports faster than ever before.
Single Cable Simplicity – 90W Charging
This dock truly does it all – and all over a single cable.
In addition to transferring data and video over a single connection to the computer, the dock can also provide up to 90W of power to charge laptops using USB Power Delivery technology. This is sufficient to power almost any notebook PC including 16” MacBook devices.
