Lenovo ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Dock (40B00135CN)

Long Description

The Lenovo ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Dock (model 40B00135CN) represents the pinnacle of docking station technology, designed for users who demand the absolute best in connectivity, display capabilities, and power delivery. This dock is built around the latest Intel Thunderbolt 4 standard, offering significantly enhanced bandwidth, security, and universal compatibility compared to previous generations. It’s an ideal choice for power users, content creators, engineers, and IT professionals in Nairobi who work with large datasets, multiple high-resolution displays, and demanding applications.

A single, integrated Thunderbolt 4 cable connects the dock to your compatible laptop (any laptop with a Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, or USB4 port will achieve full performance; it also offers robust performance with USB-C laptops that support DisplayPort Alt Mode, though some advanced features might be exclusive to Thunderbolt). This single connection transforms your laptop into a powerful workstation, eliminating cable clutter and simplifying your setup.

Key capabilities of this dock include:

• Next-Generation Display Support: The dock excels in driving multiple high-resolution displays. It features two DisplayPort 1.4 ports and one HDMI 2.1 port. This configuration allows for:
  • A single 8K (7680 x 4320) display at 30Hz (via HDMI 2.1).
  • Up to four 4K (3840 x 2160) displays at 60Hz. This is a significant advantage for users requiring an expansive visual workspace for data analysis, CAD, video editing, or multi-tasking across several applications.
• Blazing-Fast Data Transfer: With Thunderbolt 4, the dock supports data transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps. This is crucial for quickly moving large files, such as high-resolution video footage or massive design projects, to and from external SSDs or network storage.
• Extensive USB Connectivity: It offers a comprehensive set of USB ports, including four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports (10Gbps), one of which supports Always-On Charging for mobile devices, and one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port (10Gbps, 5V/3A power out) for connecting other USB-C peripherals.
• Robust Power Delivery: The dock delivers up to 100W of power to the connected host laptop, effectively charging even powerful workstations and performance laptops. This eliminates the need for a separate laptop power adapter, contributing to a cleaner and more efficient workspace. The dock itself is powered by an included 135W Slim Tip AC adapter.
• Network Connectivity: A dedicated Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) port ensures a stable, high-speed wired network connection, providing superior reliability compared to Wi-Fi, especially for enterprise environments.
• Audio Connectivity: A convenient 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack is included for your audio needs.
• Enterprise-Grade Manageability & Security: For IT administrators, the dock supports advanced features such as Intel vPro? pass-through, Wake-on-LAN (WoL), PXE Boot, and MAC Address Pass-Through. This allows for remote management and deployment of connected systems, simplifying IT operations. It also includes Kensington Lock Slots (MicroSaver and NanoSaver) for physical security.

The ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Dock is highly compatible with Windows 10 (64-bit) and Windows 11 (64-bit) systems that feature Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, or USB4 ports. It also offers solid functionality with macOS and Ubuntu Linux, making it a truly universal solution. Its sleek black and red design fits well within any professional setup.
