NetNewsLedger Tech Update – THUNDER BAY – Anker has officially launched its next-generation Thunderbolt™ 5 Docking Station, marking a major leap in high-speed data connectivity and power delivery. Available now for $399.99, the Anker Prime TB5 Docking Station is the first user-optimized dock to harness the full potential of Thunderbolt 5, offering speeds up to 120 Gbps, dual 8K monitor support, and the industry’s first integrated GaN (Gallium Nitride) power supply.
Blazing Speeds and 8K Dual-Display Support Set New Benchmark
Engineered for creative professionals, gamers, and power users, the Anker Prime TB5 Dock provides up to 120 Gbps of bandwidth—three times faster than Thunderbolt 4. It supports dual 8K monitors and includes HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 outputs for plug-and-play connectivity without adapters or configuration hassles.
With a Thunderbolt 5 upstream port and two Thunderbolt 5 downstream ports, the dock enables high-performance daisy-chaining for SSDs, GPUs, and external displays.
First-of-Its-Kind GaN Integration Powers Devices Without Bulky Adapters
In a global first, Anker has integrated GaN power technology directly into the dock, eliminating the need for bulky AC adapters. This compact powerhouse delivers up to 232W of output and 250W of input, powering laptops, accessories, and high-demand devices from a single, space-saving unit.
Smart Cooling and Firmware Updates Keep Performance Cool and Stable
Designed for sustained high performance, the dock features a U-shaped air duct, built-in turbo fan, and AI-driven thermal management system. These components work together to keep internal and external temperatures low—even under full load—while maintaining near-silent operation.
Anker’s Dock Manager software supports remote, model-specific firmware updates, ensuring long-term device compatibility and minimizing update-related disruptions.
Designed for Creatives, Gamers, and High-End Workstations
Aesthetically, the Anker Prime TB5 Dock sports a sleek aluminum alloy chassis and customizable ambient lighting, making it an elegant centerpiece for premium desktop setups. This new dock underscores Anker’s commitment to combining functionality with cutting-edge design.
