This dock contains 2 x Thunderbolt 2 (20 Gb/s) ports, 3 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports (5 Gb/s) ports, 2 x USB 2.0 Type-A ports (480 Mb/s), 1 x eSATA port, 1 x HDMI port, 1 x Mini DisplayPort (via Thunderbolt 2), 1 x Gigabit Ethernet port, and optical audio line-in and line-out jacks. All in all, you'll be able to connect up to 10 devices and peripherals directly to this dock.
In addition to connecting peripherals to your system, this dock can also expand your system's device connectivity beyond its native limits. For example, its Thunderbolt 2 ports allow the daisy-chaining of up to five additional Thunderbolt devices, including a Thunderbolt display, and its HDMI and Mini DisplayPort protocols can support dual displays at Full HD (1920 x 1080) and UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) resolutions. Each Thunderbolt 2 port supports bi-directional transfer speeds of up to 20 Gb/s, which is also backwards compatible with Thunderbolt technology at speeds up to 10 Gb/s. When used with an adapter, this dock can also support Thunderbolt 3 peripherals, although they will operate at Thunderbolt 2 speeds.
The Thunderbolt 2 KVM Docking Station is compatible with the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini, iMac, and Mac Pro, as well as other Thunderbolt 2-equipped systems. It operates using an included 12V / 7.5A power adapter and also includes a 3.3' / 1.0m Thunderbolt 2 cable and a base stand.
