A desk. One cable. Full control: how Satechis Thunderbolt 5 CubeDock simplifies the workday

Building an efficient desk is often about compromises. Either performance is prioritized, or order and simplicity. With Thunderbolt 5 CubeDock, Satechi wants to blur the line between the two - and bring your entire workflow together around a single, powerful connection.

A compact hub for your entire workflow
Thunderbolt 5 CubeDock is shaped like an unobtrusive aluminum cube - a format familiar from desktop Apple computers, but with a distinctly modern ambition. A single Thunderbolt 5 cable connects displays, storage, networking, audio and accessories while charging the computer.Bandwidth is up to 80 Gbps in both directions, with the option of 120 Gbps via Bandwidth Boost when workflow demands it. This allows for multiple high-resolution displays, fast transfers and heavy creative projects without the system becoming a bottleneck.

Built-in storage - without extra boxes and cables
One of the CubeDock's more thoughtful solutions is the integrated slot for NVMe SSD. This means that the dock also functions as external storage as soon as the cable is plugged in. With support for up to 8 TB and read speeds of up to 6,000 MB/s, the solution is just as suitable for video files as it is for large image libraries or project folders.To ensure consistent performance, the CubeDock is equipped with active cooling. The temperature-controlled fan is activated when needed and keeps both the dock and SSD at a stable working temperature even during longer sessions.

Connections for today's - and tomorrow's - needs
CubeDock is equipped with three Thunderbolt 5 ports, complemented by USB-C and USB-A, 2.5 Gb Ethernet, UHS-II card reader for SD and microSD and 3.5 mm audio in and out. It works with Thunderbolt 5 devices and is backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4, and USB-C, with performance tuned to the host computer.The result is a desktop with fewer cables, less hassle, and a much better overview.

Thunderbolt 5 Pro Cable - the foundation on which everything rests
To really take advantage of Thunderbolt 5, you need a cable that can handle both power and data. Thunderbolt 5 Pro Cable is Intel-certified and built to handle up to 80 Gbps bi-directional data, 120 Gbps in unidirectional mode, and up to 240 W power delivery.The braided cable has reinforced ends and aluminum connectors for longevity. It supports up to 8K video where the system allows, with up to 6K at macOS - making it a solid foundation for docks, monitors and future workstations alike.Choosing the right cable is often underestimated, but here it's clear that it's intended as a long-term investment rather than a quickly replaceable accessory.
