The SD5765T, which provides up to 96 W of power delivery, features 40 Gbps data transfer speeds, and supports a single 8K @ 60 Hz via a Thunderbolt 4 port, or dual 4K @ 60 Hz monitors via two HDMI ports. The 13-in-1 design incorporates two HDMI ports, one Thunderbolt 4 port, one Thunderbolt 4 host port, one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps port, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps ports, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 5 Gbps ports, one Gigabit Ethernet port, one audio combo jack, and two UHS-II 4.0 SD and Micro SD card readers. Zero-footprint mounting maximizes desktop space and reduces cable clutter by enabling the user to mount the docking station out of the way using a mounting bracket (K34050WW), sold separately.
Portable USB4 Dock for Surface Devices Maximizes Productivity while Reducing Travel Bulk
Built in collaboration with Microsoft, the innovative MD125U4 USB4 Portable Docking Station leverages the power of USB4 to maximize productivity when using the Surface device at the desk or on the go. Ideal for hybrid workers who want to travel with less weight and clutter, the compact dock provides up to 100 W power pass-through, eliminating the need to travel with an additional power brick.
The MD125U4, which can be powered by a USB-C power adapter or by the Surface device battery, supports USB4, Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB-C 3.2 devices. The dock supports a single monitor up to 8K @ 30 Hz or dual monitors up to 4K @ 120 Hz through two HDMI 2.1 ports. One USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, two USB-a 3.2 Gen 2 ports, and one 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port enable the connection of a variety of accessories without the need for additional adapters.

Featuring 85 W power delivery, the SD4845P uses the same USB-C cable to keep the Surface device charged, and enables the use of a mouse, keyboard, and other USB accessories connected to the dock.
The SD4845P, which incorporates two DisplayPort ++ 1.4 ports and one HDMI 2.0b port, supports up to single 4K @ 60 Hz, dual 1440p @ 60 Hz, and triple 1080p @ 60 Hz.
