Edimax TD-405BP laptop dock/port replicator Wired Thunderbolt 4 60W

The EDIMAX TD-405BP is a compact wired Thunderbolt™ 4 mini docking station designed to expand connectivity for laptops and desktop systems. Powered by the Intel® Goshen Ridge controller, it supports up to 40 Gbps data transfer, high-resolution video output up to 8K (7680 x 4320), and delivers smart power charging to connected devices. The unit is built with a slim aluminum casing that aids passive heat dissipation and is compatible with Thunderbolt, USB-C and USB-A hosts supporting USB4/USB3.2/USB3.1/USB2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 standards.

Advantages

The TD-405BP offers multi-function connectivity in a small form factor: very high data bandwidth (up to 40Gbps), support for single 8K or multiple 4K displays, power delivery to charge laptops and peripherals (up to 85W dynamically from the 100W PSU, with up to 60W available on the upstream port) and flexible daisy-chaining of Thunderbolt devices. Its aluminum chassis provides durability and passive cooling without fans, and the dock maintains wide compatibility across Thunderbolt and USB standards.

Suitable for

• Creative professionals who need high-bandwidth video and data transfers (video editing, 3D rendering)
• Gamers and power users connecting external displays and peripherals
• Office users who require additional ports and laptop charging from a single compact dock

Key specifications

• Interface: Thunderbolt™ 4 (backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3/USB-C)
• Data transfer: up to 40 Gbps
• Power delivery: dynamic charging up to 85W (from 100W PSU) with up to 60W on upstream port
• Video output: single 8K (7680 x 4320) or dual/triple 4K (requires DisplayPort MST for triple-4K)
• Casing: aluminum, fanless design
• Compatibility: USB4/USB3.2/USB3.1/USB2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, DP Alt Mode, PCIe 3.0
• Ports: includes at least one USB Type-A (USB 3.2 Gen 2) and multiple Thunderbolt/USB-C connections
• Weight: 0.165 kg

How to use

Connect the TD-405BP to a compatible laptop or PC using the Thunderbolt/USB-C upstream cable. Attach external displays to the dock’s video outputs (ensure DisplayPort MST compatibility for multi-4K setups), and plug peripherals into the available USB-A or USB-C ports. The dock negotiates power delivery automatically to charge the connected laptop and devices; use the supplied 100W power supply for full dynamic charging capability.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 3 certified cables and ensure host device drivers and firmware (Windows or macOS) are up to date. To run triple-4K displays, confirm monitors and host support DisplayPort MST. Place the dock on a flat surface with adequate airflow despite its fanless design.
