Kensington SD5765T Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4K Docking Station (DFS) - 96W PD

The Kensington SD5765T Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4K Docking Station (DFS) with 96W Power Delivery is designed to elevate Surface workflows with professional-grade connectivity that matches its premium build. In partnership with Microsoft, Kensington delivers a dock that looks as good as it performs — a sleek, responsible choice for professionals who demand instant, reliable access to power, displays, and peripherals from a single, elegant hub. This is more than a docking station; it’s a turnkey workspace organizer that simplifies setups, reduces cable clutter, and enables you to stay productive whether you’re at the office, on a hybrid schedule, or traveling between sites. With a plug-and-play approach, the SD5765T gives you a seamless dock-and-charge experience so you can focus on what matters most: your work. The dock is tuned to surface devices, ensuring compatibility, stability, and a premium user experience that reflects the finesse of Surface aesthetics while delivering enterprise-grade reliability for daily tasks, design work, development, and collaboration.

• The SD5765T is designed exclusively for Surface devices, offering a refined, Microsoft-tested connectivity experience that blends form and function. It aligns with Surface design language—clean lines, compact footprint, and quiet operation—so your desk remains uncluttered while you enjoy robust performance. This dock is engineered to deliver a stable, plug-and-play connection the moment you connect, so you can start working without chasing drivers or waiting for software updates. Professionals who rely on Surface laptops and tablets will appreciate the dedicated optimization, which ensures consistent display output, quick data transfer, and reliable charging whenever and wherever you need it.
• Thunderbolt 4 dual 4K support delivers crystal-clear visuals across two displays at up to 4K resolution each, typically at 60Hz, enabling expansive multitasking for productivity suites, design tools, video editing, and analytics dashboards. With a single TB4 upstream connection, you gain the bandwidth of up to 40Gbps to drive two independent 4K displays while maintaining snappy USB data transfers, fast network access, and responsive peripheral performance. The dual-output configuration is ideal for professionals who require extended real estate for timelines, palettes, and dashboards, or for creators who need precise color accuracy and high-resolution proofing on separate monitors. This capability translates to fewer compromises, more collaboration, and a sleek, professional workstation that scales with your needs.
• Power delivery up to 96W ensures your Surface device and peripheral accessories stay charged throughout long work sessions. The high-widelity PD passthrough simplifies charging by delivering ample power through the same dock used for data and display connectivity. In practice, this means fewer chargers on your desk, less cable clutter, and the convenience of leaving the wall adapter behind when you travel. Works well for Surface devices that support higher-wattage charging, while ensuring that additional connected peripherals — such as external storage, docking peripherals, and USB devices — can be powered conveniently through the dock itself. The result is a smoother, more efficient setup where power delivery and data transfer are synchronized for a seamless experience.
• Rich connectivity for peripherals and networks keeps your workflow fluid. The SD5765T provides a robust assortment of ports that includes USB-C and USB-A options for fast data transfer with external drives, keyboards, mice, cameras, and more, plus an Ethernet port for stable, high-speed wired networking—ideal for video conferencing, large file transfers, and cloud-based collaboration. An integrated audio jack supports headphones or external speakers, delivering clear, professional sound for calls, recordings, and media playback. A Kensington security feature helps protect your investment in shared or public environments. This careful port selection minimizes the need to swap hubs or adapters, letting you connect your critical devices with confidence and ease.
• Plug-and-play reliability and Surface-friendly design mean you can deploy the SD5765T in minutes, not hours. Setup is straightforward: connect the Thunderbolt 4 cable from the dock to your Surface, plug in the dock’s power supply for full 96W PD, attach your displays to the appropriate ports (DisplayPort and HDMI), and connect your peripherals. The dock automatically negotiates video output and power delivery, so you can start working immediately without installing drivers or tools. The sleek, low-profile profile reduces desk footprint, while the sturdy build and premium materials provide a professional, durable solution that stands up to daily use in busy workspaces. It’s a reliable, enterprise-ready docking option designed to scale with your evolving needs without sacrificing style or performance.
