Docking station for multi-display workflows

The DELL TB16 docking station connects through a single Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable and delivers up to three external displays via HDMI, DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort and VGA. It adds three SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, a rear speaker output and a front combo audio jack. The unit includes a 180 W power adapter and measures 5.7 x 5.7 x 2 inches.

Suited to Thunderbolt 3 laptops needing legacy

This dock suits users whose notebook provides Thunderbolt 3 and who must drive older VGA projectors alongside modern DisplayPort or HDMI monitors. It also serves anyone who needs five USB-A ports and wired Ethernet in a compact footprint. Buyers whose laptop only offers USB-C without Thunderbolt 3, or who require Thunderbolt 4 speeds, should look at something else.

Fits on a crowded desk and reduces cable count

The 5.7-inch square footprint leaves room for a keyboard and mouse beside the dock. A single Thunderbolt 3 cable carries video, data and up to 180 W of charging power to the host, removing the need for a separate laptop charger. The Kensington lock slot lets you secure the dock to the desk, and the 7.4 mm DC input connects the supplied adapter.
