What the dock is and who it serves

The Wavlink V1C43EA is a 13-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 docking station built for laptops that need maximum display and data throughput from a single cable. It targets creative professionals and power users who run Windows 10 or 11 or macOS 11 and later on Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 or full-feature USB4 hosts.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This dock fits setups that demand a single 8K screen at 60 Hz or up to three 4K screens at 60 Hz, plus 2.5 GbE wired networking, fast card ingest at 312 MB/s and up to 96 W laptop charging. It is not for buyers whose Macs use M1 or M2 silicon because those chips only drive one external monitor, nor for anyone whose host lacks Thunderbolt or full-function USB-C with DisplayPort alt-mode and power delivery.

Installation ease and common pitfalls

The package includes a 0.8 m Thunderbolt 4 cable and a 160 W power brick, so desk placement is straightforward and the upstream port can deliver the full 96 W charge. The main friction points are macOS display limits: M1 and M2 Macs cannot extend to a second screen, M3 Macs require the lid closed for dual-display operation, and using both HDMI ports on any Mac mirrors the image instead of extending it.

Questions about this item

Do I need a Thunderbolt 4 port on my laptop to use the 40Gbps upstream connection and 96W charging?

Yes, the Thunderbolt 4 host port requires a Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 3 laptop running Windows 10/11 or macOS 11 or later to deliver 40Gbps data and up to 96W power.

Will the two HDMI 2.1 ports drive independent extended displays on my M1 MacBook?

No, on M1 and M2 Macs the dock supports only a single external monitor; using both HDMI ports will show mirrored content.

How can I confirm the downstream Thunderbolt 4 port is delivering 40Gbps and 15W to my device?

Connect a Thunderbolt 4 device to the downstream port and check the OS link speed or power meter — it should report 40Gbps capability and up to 15W charging.
