CalDigit’s compact Thunderbolt 5 dock doesn’t skimp on ports.

The new Element 5 Hub differentiates itself from Kensington and Cable Matters’ Thunderbolt 5 docks with a much smaller design. Despite its compact footprint, the $249 Element 5 still features four 80Gbps Thunderbolt 5 ports (up to 120Gbps with Bandwidth Boost), two slower 10Gbps USB-C ports, and three USB-A ports. Power delivery maxes out at 90W, but it can drive three 4K/60Hz displays on Windows, or a pair of 6K/60Hz displays on macOS.

<em>Caldigit’s Element 5 Hub is smaller than most smartphones but quite a bit thicker.</em>
<em>The Element 5 Hub includes nine USB ports in total, with a maximum power output of 90W.</em>
<em>When connected to a Windows machine, the Element 5 can power up to three 4K/60Hz displays.</em>
<em>With macOS, only a dual 6K/60Hz display setup is supported.</em>
