External rating	4.2 out of 5 from 22 ratings · B&H Photo · Checked October 23, 2026.
Host connection The documented upstream protocol and connection limits. Connector shape is not protocol support. A backward-compatible connection may lose some features.	Thunderbolt 5 at 80 Gb/s bidirectional; 120 Gb/s bandwidth boost is a separate mode. Source · 2026-10-11 CalDigit: TS5 Plus host and power requirementsChecked 2026-10-11.

Maximum documented host charging The host charging limit for the reviewed package, not the power supply rating. The host must accept the offered power. A model sold in multiple revisions needs package-specific evidence.	140 W Source · 2026-10-11 CalDigit: TS5 Plus host and power requirementsChecked 2026-10-11.

Charging conditions Revision, host and rated-versus-certified qualifications. Do not promise full charging under every workload or substitute the adapter wattage.	Up to 140 W to a compatible host; the supplied 330 W adapter rating is not laptop charging power. Source · 2026-10-11 CalDigit: TS5 Plus host and power requirementsChecked 2026-10-11.

Nominal Ethernet rate The maximum documented Ethernet link rate, not measured file throughput. Host support, drivers, network equipment and cabling must all be suitable.	10 Gb/s Source · 2026-10-11 CalDigit: TS5 Plus host and power requirementsChecked 2026-10-11. We reviewed the official page text on the check date. Checkout options were not verified.
Ethernet conditions Host and driver qualifications for the network port. A physical network connector is not proof that the port works over every upstream connection.	Ethernet requires a Thunderbolt host or USB4 with PCIe support. Windows requires the documented Ethernet driver. Source · 2026-10-11 CalDigit: TS5 Plus host and power requirementsChecked 2026-10-11.

Display arrangement Documented display paths and host-dependent limits. Check exact resolution, refresh rate, host GPU and simultaneous-screen requirements. Do not add alternative connectors together.	Use the manufacturer host/display matrix. GPU, operating system, display mode and any adapters control the usable simultaneous arrangement.

Built-in DisplayLink documented Whether DisplayLink is established as part of the dock itself. An optional external adapter does not become a built-in feature. Unknown does not mean absent.	Not verified We have not verified this value. It is not a confirmed no or zero. Check the original source or ask the manufacturer if it affects your choice. No explicit built-in DisplayLink declaration or denial was verified for this exact dock. Native display guidance does not settle every optional adapter.

Host and software requirements Important software, host and configuration conditions. Check the current manufacturer support page for the exact computer; no installed compatibility or security certification is claimed.	Display and network features depend on host capabilities. Do not apply the full Thunderbolt 5 feature set to an ordinary USB-C connection. Source · 2026-10-11 CalDigit: TS5 Plus host and power requirementsChecked 2026-10-11.

Power arrangement and supplied equipment Built-in or external power and reviewed package contents. Confirm the regional mains cord before buying; a global product page is not a checked US checkout.	External 330 W power supply and power cord documented; confirm the regional cord. Source · 2026-10-11 CalDigit: TS5 Plus host and power requirementsChecked 2026-10-11.

Included host cable The cable documented as supplied with this package. A replacement cable needs appropriate protocol and power ratings; a matching connector alone is insufficient.
