Versatile Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station

The Dell Thunderbolt Dock TB16 connects to a Thunderbolt 3 enabled notebook through a single USB Type-C cable. It instantly adds multiple display outputs, five USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet and audio connections. This compact dock suits mobile workstation users who need expanded connectivity at their desk.

Sustained Multi-Display and Data Throughput

With up to 40 Gbps bandwidth, the dock avoids bottlenecks when driving multiple displays and peripherals simultaneously. It supports three FHD displays, two 4K displays or one 5K display at 60 Hz during continuous operation. The 180 W power delivery keeps the notebook and attached devices powered under sustained load.

180 W Power Delivery Decides Suitability

The dock supplies up to 180 W to the host notebook through the Thunderbolt 3 connection. Buyers must confirm their notebook accepts this charging level via USB-C; systems requiring higher input will not charge fully. The 7.4 mm DC-IN jack powers the dock itself and its downstream ports.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the Dell Thunderbolt Dock TB16 get when running all day at 180W?

The dock draws up to 180W through its 7.4 mm DC-IN input and delivers power over Thunderbolt 3; it has no fan, so it relies on passive cooling and stays silent during continuous operation.

What must my notebook already have to use the 452-BCNP dock?

Your notebook needs a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port that supports power delivery and video output to drive up to three displays through the single Thunderbolt 3 cable.

Will the TB16 work with my older USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 peripherals?

Yes — the dock provides two USB 2.0 ports and three USB 3.0 ports, so legacy keyboards, mice, drives and other USB-A devices connect directly without adapters.
