Ugreen Revodok Max Thunderbolt 5 Dock
Picking the right Thunderbolt dock isn’t straightforward, and you’ll need to clearly understand your requirements to choose the model that best fits your needs. The new Ugreen Revodok Max 2131 is an impressive candidate in the Thunderbolt 5 category. With its 13 ports, it challenges our previous favorite, the 18-port TS4 from CalDigit in Thunderbolt 4, especially with today’s discount.
Thunderbolt 5 at 120 Gb/s and 2.5 GbE
The Ugreen Revodok Max 2131 makes a significant impact. This Thunderbolt 5 dock is not just a lazy rebrand of existing products: it offers a full range of connections, a robust design, and the bold ambition to replace your hubs, docking stations, and chargers with a single metal monolith.
In terms of connectivity, it’s like an all-you-can-eat buffet: four Thunderbolt 5 ports (including one host) delivering up to 120 Gb/s (80 Gb/s base, which is twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 3 and 4), a 2.5 GbE port, four USB-A ports and one USB-C port (at 10 Gbps and delivering up to 20W), a UHS-II SD and microSD card reader (312 Mb/s), a combo mini jack audio port, and to top it all off, a charging power of up to 140W for the host machine. Yes, it can even power a 16-inch MacBook Pro at full throttle without breaking a sweat.
Thunderbolt 5 here enables you to manage two 6K displays at 60 Hz, or even an 8K display — provided that your machine can handle it. The design remains sleek and premium, with an aluminum finish that exudes durability. Clearly, this is not a product for everyone, but for demanding users who want to connect their world with a single cable, the Ugreen Revodok Max 2131 checks almost all the boxes.
