Thunderbolt 4 Dock with 280W Adapter
The HP Thunderbolt 280W G4 Docking Station connects to a host through a single Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C cable and adds four USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, an HDMI 2.0 output, two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet jack. A 280W AC adapter is included and the dock can deliver up to 230W to compatible HP workstations via the combo cable, plus up to 100W USB-C Power Delivery for other devices. The bundle also includes a portable Dockztorm hub rated for 5 Gbps data sync.
Suits multi-monitor workstations.
This dock targets professionals who need to drive up to four external 4K displays from one connection and require high-wattage charging for a workstation-class laptop. It also provides wired 2.5 Gigabit networking and a Kensington lock slot for physical security. Buyers who only need a single external monitor, low-profile port expansion, or a bus-powered adapter for frequent travel should consider lighter alternatives.
230W charging via HP combo cable decides fit
The single specification that determines compatibility is the 230W power delivery over the proprietary HP combo cable; only laptops that support this charging method can draw the full rated wattage. Other USB-C systems are limited to 100W USB-C Power Delivery, so verifying the host’s charging requirements against this figure is essential before purchase.
