This article covers CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 ドッキングステーション.

Overview

The CalDigit TS3 Plus is a high-end Thunderbolt 3 docking station that packs 15 ports into a fanless, all-aluminum chassis. It charges your laptop with up to 87W while simultaneously driving dual 4K displays at 60Hz or a single 5K display. For MacBook Pro users, this dock is the definitive one-cable solution for desk connectivity. With Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) upstream and downstream ports, five USB-A 3.1 Gen1 ports, USB-C 3.1 Gen2, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, and an ultra-fast UHS-II SD 4.0 card reader, the TS3 Plus covers nearly every peripheral need. The silent, heat-dissipating design makes it ideal for creative professionals who demand reliability.

Connectivity & Compatibility

Port layout: 2× Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps, one for host, one for daisy-chaining), DisplayPort 1.2, 5× USB-A 3.1 Gen1 (5Gbps), 1× USB-C 3.1 Gen1 (5Gbps), 1× USB-C 3.1 Gen2 (10Gbps, data only), Gigabit Ethernet, UHS-II SD 4.0 card slot, S/PDIF optical audio, and 3.5mm in/out. Crucially, the TS3 Plus requires a Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 port on your computer — it will not work with plain USB-C hosts. Also, Apple Silicon Macs (M1/M2/M3) are limited to a single external display via Thunderbolt; some Windows laptops share this limitation. DisplayPort requires an active adapter for HDMI/DVI/VGA conversion.

Product Info

Released in 2017, the TS3 Plus remains a top seller thanks to its proven stability and excellent port selection. It sits in the upper-mid price tier for Thunderbolt docks, offering exceptional value per port. The package includes a 0.7m Thunderbolt 3 cable and a 2-year warranty. Availability is wide, with support for both macOS and Windows 10/11.

Best Use Cases

This dock is a perfect match for Thunderbolt 3/4 MacBook Pro users who want a clutter-free desktop: one cable delivers power, data, and video. Photographers and videographers benefit from the UHS-II SD card slot, which transfers raw footage at up to 312MB/s. Windows users with Thunderbolt 4 laptops will also appreciate the abundance of USB-A ports, letting them connect legacy peripherals like external drives, printers, and keyboards without additional adapters. If you rely on dual 4K monitors, verify your system supports multiple displays over the bus before buying.
