Key Features
Up to 300W charging for workstations
Thunderbolt 5 Power Delivery supplies up to 300W to compatible Dell laptops (240W to non-Dell), from the included 330W adapter — enough to keep even mobile workstations at full clocks while docked, over a single cable.
Up to four displays, 8K or 4K 120Hz
With HDMI 2.1, 2x DisplayPort 2.1 and 2x Thunderbolt 5, the dock supports demanding configurations such as a single 8K @ 60Hz or four 4K displays at 120Hz (with DSC) — well beyond any Thunderbolt 4 dock.
Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth
Up to 80Gbps (120Gbps Bandwidth Boost) means displays, 2x downstream Thunderbolt 5 devices, 10Gbps USB storage and 2.5GbE networking all run at once without contention — roughly double Thunderbolt 4.
Universal, any-brand compatibility
Although optimised for Dell, the WD25TB5 works with Thunderbolt and USB-C laptops from any manufacturer, so it fits mixed fleets and future machines alike.
Complete Pro connectivity
Four USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a USB-C port, two Thunderbolt 5 ports, 2.5GbE and audio cover every peripheral, monitor and network need from one desktop anchor.
Expert Insight
This is a top-tier dock for a Dell mobile-workstation desk that cannot compromise. The headline is 300W charging combined with Thunderbolt 5 display performance — 8K, or four 4K screens at 120Hz — that previous generations could not sustain. It is universal, so non-Dell laptops still benefit (up to 240W and full Thunderbolt 5 features). If your laptop only needs two 60Hz displays and standard charging, a Thunderbolt 4 dock is more economical; the WD25TB5 earns its premium on charging headroom and display performance.
It anchors the high end of our docking stations range for Dell and mixed-brand workstation desks, and the 2.5GbE port pairs naturally with broader wired-network upgrades using faster network cards. Choose Thunderbolt 5 (this dock) for maximum charging, bandwidth and future-proofing.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You run a Dell (or other) mobile workstation needing up to 300W charging and the highest display performance — up to four screens including 8K or 4K @ 120Hz — from a single Thunderbolt 5 cable.
Skip it if
Your laptop is a standard ultrabook charging fine at 100W and you only need two 60Hz displays — a Thunderbolt 4 dock will cost significantly less.
Also consider
The Dell Pro Thunderbolt 5 Smart Dock (SD25TB5) if you need enterprise remote-management features, or a Thunderbolt 4 dock for mainstream laptops.
Frequently Asked Questions

Up to 300W to compatible Dell laptops and up to 240W to non-Dell USB-C/Thunderbolt devices, over the single Thunderbolt 5 cable, from the included 330W adapter.
How many monitors can it drive?
Up to four displays — for example a single 8K @ 60Hz, or four 4K displays at 120Hz — using HDMI 2.1, 2x DisplayPort 2.1 and 2x Thunderbolt 5 ports (with DSC).
Will it work with non-Dell laptops?
Yes — it is a universal dock that works with Thunderbolt and USB-C laptops from any brand, charging non-Dell devices at up to 240W with full Thunderbolt 5 functionality.
Is this the Smart Dock?
No — this is the standard WD25TB5. The SD25TB5 Smart Dock adds enterprise remote-management features; otherwise the core Thunderbolt 5 capabilities are similar.
