Next Level USB-C Gen.2 Dock
Built on the concept that more and more of us are working remotely from home the SOHO, or Small Office Home Office Dock, helps bring all of our devices together wherever we are.
Double The Performance Of Gen.1
The benefits of a 10Gb/s USB-C device over a 5Gb/s device set it apart from the vast amount of hubs on the market. Whether you want to take full advantage of a 4K 60Hz monitor or connect an ultra-fast SSD, the SOHO Dock has all the features you need.
Single 4K 60Hz
The SOHO Dock offers full 4K 60Hz resolution for those looking to get the most out of their 4K monitors. In order to achieve 4K 60Hz your computer’s USB-C port must support DP 1.4 (HBR3).
Dual Monitors on macOS
macOS users looking to add dual monitors can add two displays up to 4K 60Hz² in Mirrored mode. Dual Extended displays are not supported on macOS.
Dual Monitors on Windows
Windows users looking to add dual monitors can add two displays up to 4K 60Hz² in Mirrored mode, or dual Extended displays at 4K 30Hz².
At Your Desk or On-The-Go
The SOHO Dock has the ability to be bus-powered, making it an ideal solution for users that need to expand their connectivity on the road. In addition, the SOHO Dock’s dual video connectors and pass-through charging capability make it an ideal desktop docking solution.
iPad Pro & Tablet Compatible
Not only can you use the SOHO Dock on a traditional computer, you can also use it with an iPad Pro or Windows tablet. This allows users to connect a single 4K 60Hz HDR-enabled monitor and all the various devices that the SOHO Dock has to offer.²
Dual SD Card Readers
The dual SD 4.0 and microSD 4.0 card readers both support UHS-II speeds that will significantly improve your file transfer speeds.
HDMI 2.0b & DisplayPort 1.4
By including both HDMI and DisplayPort connectors, users have the flexibility to connect to the type of display that’s best suited for them, including HDR monitors.
Just the Right Amount of Ports
Unlike other Gen.1 USB-C hubs on the market that tend to overpromise on connectivity, the CalDigit USB-C SOHO Dock has been designed to have just the right amount of ports in order to not exceed the power output that your laptop’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port can provide.
1 x USB-C 10Gb/s (Data Port)
1 x USB-C (Power Delivery)
1 x DisplayPort 1.4
1 x HDMI 2.0b
1 x USB-A 10Gb/s (Data Port)
1 x SD 4.0 UHS-II Card Reader
1 x microSD UHS-II Card reader
Pass-through Laptop Charging¹
The SOHO Dock supports up to a 100W Type-C charger and can offer up to 90W for laptop charging¹. A USB-C charger will deliver power to the dock, connected USB devices, and provide charging for the host device. The SOHO Dock will dynamically charge your laptop based on the required wattage to operate the dock and associated USB devices. USB-C charger not included.
Full Speed 10Gb/s Data Port
Anyone that has used traditional Gen. 1 USB-C hubs will know that the USB ports offer limited capabilities. The SOHO Dock’s USB-C data port offers full 10Gb/s performance, double that of traditional hubs. Even when the video ports are in use, USB performance will not drop due to bandwidth limitations.
USB-A 10Gb/s Data Port
Not only does the SOHO Dock feature a 10Gb/s USB-C port, it also has a 10Gb/s USB-A port that allows you to add a keyboard, mouse, smartphone or any other USB device. In addition, you could connect a fast SSD to take advantage of the 10Gb/s speeds.
