Frequently asked questions

What devices work with this dock? The Plugable Thunderbolt 4 Dock is designed for TB4-enabled laptops and devices. It provides a robust, cross-platform experience with Windows, macOS, and other USB-C devices that support Thunderbolt 4 specifications. For best results, ensure your host device supports 100W charging and TB4 bandwidth to fully leverage the dock’s capabilities.

Do I need drivers? In most cases, Thunderbolt 4 docks are plug-and-play, with drivers managed by the host operating system. Some devices may require firmware updates or vendor-specific software to unlock full features, but you’ll typically be up and running after a simple connection.

Can I charge my laptop while using multiple displays? Yes. The 100W Power Delivery is designed to charge compatible laptops, and many TB4 hosts support display output simultaneously. Display performance and number of displays depend on your host computer’s TB4 capabilities and the operating system’s display management.

How many displays can I drive through the dock? Thunderbolt 4 supports multi-display configurations. The exact number and resolution of displays depend on your host system and its Thunderbolt 4 implementation. The dock provides display bandwidth via its TB4 ports, and you can typically run independent displays when using a TB4-enabled laptop that supports such outputs.

Is this dock compatible with non-Windows laptops? Yes. The dock is designed to be platform-agnostic within the Thunderbolt 4 ecosystem, functioning with compatible macOS and Chrome OS devices that support Thunderbolt 4. Always verify host compatibility with 100W charging and TB4 features for best results.

What should I do if a device isn’t recognized? First, confirm all connections are secure, the dock has power, and your host supports TB4. If a device isn’t recognized, try reconnecting after a reboot, update firmware/drivers if available, or test with a different TB4 port to rule out a port-specific issue.
