Turn Your MacBook Into a Professional Workstation

Your MacBook delivers desktop-class performance — but your workspace shouldn’t be limited by the ports built into your laptop.

The Satechi Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station gives professionals, creators, developers, and power users the connectivity they need to build a serious desktop setup around their MacBook.

Connect displays, external SSDs, Ethernet, USB accessories, SD cards, audio equipment and more — while charging your MacBook — through a single Thunderbolt connection.

One cable to your MacBook. One complete workstation.

Why Choose Thunderbolt 4 Instead of a Regular USB-C Hub?

A basic USB-C hub is great for everyday accessories.

But professional workflows can demand significantly more bandwidth, more connections, reliable power, and better support for high-performance peripherals.

Thunderbolt 4 provides up to 40Gbps of bandwidth, making this dock ideal for demanding setups involving fast external storage, displays, professional accessories and large file transfers.

If your desk is constantly covered with adapters and cables, this dock is designed to replace them with one centralized connection.

11-in-1 Connectivity for Your Entire Workspace

Connect your essential desk equipment through one docking station:

• Thunderbolt 4 connectivity
• High-speed USB-A connections
• UHS-II SD card reader
• Gigabit Ethernet
• 3.5mm audio
• External displays
• External SSDs and storage
• Keyboards, mice and other USB peripherals
• Laptop charging

Plug your workspace into the dock, then connect your MacBook with one cable.

Thunderbolt 4 — Up to 40Gbps

Move large files, access external storage and connect high-performance peripherals with Thunderbolt 4 bandwidth up to 40Gbps.

For photographers and video editors working with large RAW files or high-resolution footage, developers managing demanding workflows, or professionals using fast external SSDs, that extra bandwidth can make a meaningful difference.

Charge Your MacBook at Up to 96W

Your docking station shouldn’t take away your charging port.

The Satechi Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station can provide up to 96W of charging power to the host computer, helping keep your compatible MacBook powered while your workspace remains connected.

Arrive at your desk, connect one cable, and get to work.

Build a Multi-Display Workspace

Need more screen space for editing, coding, spreadsheets, communication or creative applications?

The Thunderbolt connectivity can be used with compatible external displays and display adapters to build a larger desktop workspace.

This makes the dock especially useful for professionals who want to transition from a portable MacBook to a full desk setup without reconnecting every accessory individually.

Important: External display support, maximum resolution and the number of displays supported depend on your Mac model, processor, operating system and display configuration.

High-Speed Storage for Creative Workflows

Connect compatible external SSDs and storage devices for fast access to large projects, media libraries and backups.

Thunderbolt 4 is particularly valuable for workflows involving:

• 4K video projects
• RAW photography
• Large creative libraries
• External SSD workflows
• Professional backups
• Large file transfers

Instead of moving everything onto your Mac’s internal storage, keep high-capacity projects accessible from your desk setup.

UHS-II SD Card Reader for Creators

For photographers and videographers, card-reader performance matters.

The integrated UHS-II SD card reader makes it easier to transfer photos and footage directly into your workflow without carrying an additional reader.

Insert your compatible SD card, import your content and start editing.

Reliable Wired Ethernet

Wi-Fi is convenient. A wired connection can be preferable when consistency matters.

Connect your workstation directly to a compatible Ethernet network for stable connectivity during large downloads, cloud transfers, video calls and other bandwidth-intensive work.

One Connection When You Arrive at Your Desk

This is where a professional docking station changes the experience.

Instead of reconnecting your:

monitor
SSD
Ethernet
keyboard
mouse
audio
SD reader
charger

every time you sit down…

Connect your MacBook to the dock.

Your desk is ready.
