Kensington SD5700T Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station, Dual 4K, 90W PD - Window and Mac OS (K35175NA)

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 isonly 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 forother 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 isthe Extern Disk have much eats current more 900ma. thanks again to give me a chanceto 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 Amazon.`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,

Purchased the SD5700T TB4 Dock mainly for expanding the number of TB4 ports for use with USB DAWs & HD/UHD monitors, and to be compatible with my new Windows 11 12th Gen/i5 laptop which has just a single TB4 port.Have been using this for a month now, for basic desktop connectivity. A nice dock that connect to all standard desktop devices - Printer, Wired LAN, USB-C SSDs, Audio o/p to speakers, charging via TB port ; also to my UA Volt 276 USB Audio interface- all with a single TB Host port, so easy to dock/ undock !I found this more useful than the other two models - SD5780 & the dual HDMI - due to the three DS TB4 USB-C ports, which can potentially be interfaced / adapted to HDMI 4K if needed.One point to note - the three USB-A ports on the rear are powered only when the Host TB4 link is up - connected to the laptop, not otherwise; whereas the front USB-A is powered just by powering the unit; not really a limitation, sometimes useful to power down devices that you don't need when undocked.The rear TB4 ports are always on.Yet to try connecting to other advanced HDMI monitors, TB4 DAWs, etc., but so far great ! Would have been useful if a TB4-HDMI 4k/8K adapter cable is supplied along with.Overall, a very useful & feature rich TB4 dock, a pleasure to use ! Kudos to Kensington !

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.

It's a workhorse. Reliable docking station. Can't go wrong with this USB-C dock. It worked with multiple brand name laptops
