Belkin’s new $400 Thunderbolt 4 dock is here to solve all your dongle woes

Belkin is the latest company to get on the Thunderbolt 4 dock train with its new $399 Connect Pro Thunderbolt 4 Dock, which replaces the company’s previous Thunderbolt 3 Dock Pro, adding more ports and power. The Connect Pro Thunderbolt 4 Dock has a pretty similar design to the Thunderbolt 3 Dock Pro, with a curved aluminum enclosure and glossy plastic. The idea is the same as any Thunderbolt dock: just connect all your screens and accessories to the dock, and then plug the dock into your laptop to use your whole desk setup. Most of the ports face backward to connect to various devices, although the SD card slot, 3.5mm combo jack, USB-C 3.1 port, and the upstream Thunderbolt 4 port to connect to your computer all face forward for ease of use. Additionally, Belkin is also launching new Thunderbolt 4 cables alongside the new dock: a one-metre cable for $44.99 and a longer two-metre cable for $69.99, each of which supports the full 40Gbps data transfer speed, 100W USB-C PD specification, and is backward compatible with USB4, Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.2, and USB 2.0.
