The dock is equipped with six USB-A ports (three 10 Gbps, two 5 Gbps, and one 480 Mbps), two USB-C ports (one 10 Gbps and one that provides up to 100W of charging to a MacBook Pro or other device connected), two HDMI ports, two DisplayPorts, an Ethernet port (2.5 Gbps), SD and microSD card readers (UHS-II), and an audio in/out jack. The dock has a separate power supply and connects to a MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt 4 cable.



The dock can be used to connect up to two 4K displays at 60Hz to the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips.



A variety of brands have released Thunderbolt 4 docks for the Mac over the past few years, including OWC (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/01/07/owc-thunderbolt-4-dock-and-more/), CalDigit (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/02/08/caldigit-thunderbolt-4-dock-for-macs/), Belkin (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/02/24/belkin-connect-pro-thunderbolt-4-dock/), Satechi (https://www.macrumors.com/review/satechi-thunderbolt-4-dock/), and others. The selection of ports and pricing varies for each dock, so it may be worth shopping around.
