the SOHO, or Small Office Home Office Dock, helps bring all of our
devices together wherever we are.
This powerful bus-powered, or AC-powered dock, offers next-level Gen.2 USB-C performance.
Second Generation USB-C Dock
Unlike
typical USB-C docks or hubs, the CalDigit USB-C SOHO Dock offers full
10Gb/s USB-C performance. This extra throughput allows this dock to
offer features not found in traditional 5Gb/s USB-C hubs.

Double the Performance of Gen.1
The
benefits of a 10Gb/s USB-C device over a 5Gb/s device set it apart from
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 USB-C
SOHO Dock has all the features you need in a small bus-powered device.
At your Desk or On-The-Go
The
USB-C 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.
This is ideal for photographers, or anyone that needs to access SD cards
and USB devices in the field.
In addition the USB-C SOHO Dock's
dual video connectors and pass-through charging capability make it an
ideal desktop docking solution for creative professionals looking to
expand their laptop's connectivity in an elegant solution.
Built-In Dual Monitor Connectivity
In
order to really take advantage of dual monitor connectivity a 10Gb/s
USB-C device is a must. Whilst traditional USB-C hubs make do with half
the performance, the USB-C SOHO Dock is able to take full advantage of
its 10Gb/s performance to offer dual video connectivity. Up until now
dual monitor connectivity had been resigned to full-size mains powered
USB-C docks. This is now available in a compact and portable device.
HDMI 2.0b & DISPLAYPORT 1.4
By
including both HDMI and DisplayPort connectors, users have the
flexibility to connect to the type of monitor that's best suited for
them.
For any users that need to connect two HDMI or two
DisplayPort monitors they can use an *adapter to convert to another
video connector. *Sold separately.
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.
It is of paramount importance to CalDigit, that when all of the ports are used at once, there are no power issues.
Pass-Through Laptop Charging
The
beauty of USB-C is that it incorporates up to 100W power delivery into
its design. This means that when you connect your laptop's USB-C charger
to the SOHO Dock it will be powering the SOHO Dock and its attached USB
devices, in addition to charging your laptop.
The actual power
that will be supplied to your laptop will vary based on the wattage of
your USB-C charger, and how many USB devices are attached to the SOHO
Dock.
This pass-through charging functionality is not only
limited to laptops since the SOHO Dock will also charge the iPad Pro,
Windows Tablets, and USB-C Smart Phones.
PLUG & PLAY
The SOHO Dock is a complete plug & play solution.
Unlike
many USB-C devices on the market that require drivers to connect dual
displays, the SOHO Dock works right out of the box on macOS and Windows,
without the stress of installing drivers.
FULL SPEED 10Gb/s DATA PORT
Anyone
that has used a traditional Gen.1 USB-C hub will know that the USB
ports offer limited performance capabilities. The USB-C SOHO Dock's
front-facing USB-C and USB-A data ports offer full 10Gb/s performance,
double that of traditional hubs.
This means that for any users
looking to connect high-performance SSD storage devices, the USB-C SOHO
Dock will offer much faster speeds.
*USB bandwidth is shared by all USB ports.
EVOLVE YOUR TABLET
Not
only can you use the USB-C SOHO Dock on a traditional computer, you can
also use it with an iPad Pro, iPad Air (4th Gen), or Windows tablet.
This allows users to connect a single *4K monitor and all the various
devices that the USB-C SOHO Dock has to offer.
*iPad Pro, iPad Air (4th Gen) do not support dual extended monitors.
Detachable Cable
CalDigit
deliberately added a detachable cable to the USB-C SOHO Dock as it
gives customers more flexibility. By utilizing a detachable cable users
are able to add longer cables, and if cables are damaged, they can be
easily replaced. Docks or hubs with tethered cables cannot replace their
cables and tend to generate more heat.
