Summary
Kensington’s new SD5010T5 EQ dock is now on sale in North America for $299.99, bringing the company into the Thunderbolt 5 market with a single-cable desktop hub.
80Gbps bidirectional bandwidth—rising to 120Gbps for video-heavy tasks—is aimed at easing bottlenecks in workflows such as 8K editing, large-file transfers and AI applications.
The dock supports up to three 4K displays at 144Hz or two 8K displays at 60Hz on Windows, while newer Apple M5 Pro and M5 Max systems can run up to three external displays.
A 13-in-1 design adds two Thunderbolt 5 ports, two HDMI 2.1 ports, USB-A and USB-C ports, SD and microSD 4.0 readers, 2.5Gbps Ethernet and up to 140W USB-C PD 3.1 charging.
Kensington says the dock also works with Thunderbolt 4, USB4 and USB-C devices on Windows 11 and macOS 14.5+, broadening its appeal beyond early Thunderbolt 5 adopters.
