Kensington SD5700T Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station, Dual 4K, 90W PD - Window and Mac OS (K35175NA)

Today, i got sd5700t, and test all round, i was worried about sleep mode problem, who wrote this.Don't about this problem, I try to make unpleasant environment to meet this problem, for hibernate mode.Well wake up. 180-watt power is for itself operation 90 watt and supply for connect to devices 90watt.The power is enough than other same products, etc. The OWC,. small than 130W. I was fully tested the OWC counterparts, the test scores is thunderbolt 3 controller with extern storages, a little lower for writing speed. OWC score higher for writing speed. but a littler. Yes OWC counterparts also good things, but have no control for sleep mode, so it powers on states, connected all device have consume Energy even no signals. Notebooks goes power off. the Doc work continues. Now only use 1 days. If i find a problem, Tell here.Currently, I find a problem when using USB A port which is located back, three usb port,which speeds 10gbps.When i test speed, very slow and disconnected when testing, the device separated.So i have to initialized. for hardware problem, i will test same H/W dock.Kensington sent another dock, i will compare each docks.I test the dock from exchanged same another dock, find same problem.The problem is related power suppled USB port A, about 900mA.Tested device is extern SSD disk, with 512GB, i guess, USB A port isonly used low power devices, for keyboard, mouse, printer, small usb device.I move to the SSD disk to thunderbolt port, then no problem from now.SD5700t have three thunderbolt port 2 port for dual monitor, last forother device for high speed, more power device, extern SSD device.I accept this problem to avoid use USB A port.Thanks.finally, i test LG S8 27inch, 4k monitor to connected DP-ALT mode, Well operate,So I conclude All my tesing is mostly Good, USB A ports a little unstable, but it isthe Extern Disk have much eats current more 900ma. thanks again to give me a chanceto another same Dock to compare it's operating. More over back to a little money,The Dock discount when i test. I will back to another dock because i finished test.Thinks for Amazon.`My system, notebook is Lg gram 2022,17inch, Intel 12gen, with thunderbolt 4 included.Windows 11 home, Korean.Recently i find this device is unstable and weak at USB A port are, backpanel 3 port and flont one usb 2.0 port, total 4 usb A port have problems, i have to buy new one, i recommand that DONT USE STRESS USB A port if so do lan port will dead,

Update: When the monitors go to sleep, the dock makes a whistling sound that is similar to a boiling kettle or a slightly cracked car window. If i tap the keyboard, it stops. Using with a MacBook Pro M3 Pro, MacBook Pro M4 Pro, and Mac Mini M4. Went with this model because of the three USB-C and USB-A offerings versus the dedicated DP or HDMI ports.Pros: It just works. Zero glitches with my older Dell 2415 monitors. This was the easy button with the Mac Mini M4 especially considering the Mini is 1/4 the price of the MacBook Pros. Literally one cable to connect a new device.Cons: Could use one more USB-C port.

I have a MacBook Pro Silicon. The Kensington SD5700T device fails to connect to my 2 standard 1080 monitors when the computer wakes up from sleep. I have to turn the dock on and off several times, lift my laptop lid, close it, etc... And then it MIGHT connect. When it finally connects, half of the time the keyboard/mouse aren't working. Forcing me into yet another cycle of turning it on and off. It's really frustrating and a big time waster.Everything works flawlessly when the monitors are connected to the laptop directly, proving the fault lies with the dock.And now for the worst part, the manufacturer does not stand behind the product at all. I've been in contact with their India-based customer support center for the past WEEKS and they give me the run-around. Every e-mail comes from a different rep and they don't read what the previous rep said. They make me go through the same stupid troubleshooting steps every day, asked me and received my invoice several times, feigned misunderstanding the problem, etc. I've explicitly asked for a refund several times and their answer is a new set of troubleshooting steps. So now I'm stuck with an expensive paperweight and I have to buy another brand.If you have a Mac, steer clear of this dock and try the Caltech (I've heard good things about it but opted for this one as it is cheaper- mistake). I'm thinking of asking Amazon to remove that Mac designation because it's clearly not been tested with the Silicon Macs.

First of all, these are fantastic value for money. Build quality is excellent and once I downloaded the Kensington dock software, everything worked perfectly. This is a beefier unit that most of the competition, shipping with a 180W power brick. I won't repeat the specs here but if this unit does what you need, buy it. For me, there were two design issue that I couldn't live with. First and most importantly for me, none of the USB ports deliver useful power for charging. That may not be an issue for you but for me, one of the points of a dock is to keep clutter to a minimum so in the end, that was a deal breaker. The other issue is a power button that is too easily pressed by mistake. Why is there a power button? I have no clue.
