There are three new cutting-edge docking stations from Plugable, adding more displays and ports to your desk than ever before.
Even as Apple adds more ports to its laptops and desktops, it is never quite enough. Thankfully, companies like Plugable offer ways to push past external display limits or pack way more charging ports into a tiny space.
Plugable revealed three new products during CES 2025 — the 5 Display Dock, 10-port USB-C Charger, and DisplayLink Pro Quad Display Adapter. Each of these products will help users cut cable clutter and improve their workspace.
“At Plugable, we’re always aiming to push the boundaries of innovation, and with the launch of the PS-10CC and the UD-7400PD, we’re proud to introduce products that are truly first of their kind,” said Bernie Thompson, Founder and CTO of Plugable. “The PS-10CC is the world’s first 10-port USB-C charger with intelligent power allocation, and the UD-7400PD is the first docking station to support up to five external monitors — all designed to make users’ lives easier and more efficient.”
USB-C 5-Display Docking Station with HDMI 2.1 and 140W Charging
Connect up to 5 high-resolution displays to your MacBook Pro while providing 140W of charging. The UD-7400PD docking station, aka the 5 Display Dock, works with every M-series Mac, even ones that normally support only one display.

Connect three 8K, or one 8K and four 4K displays over the available combination of ports. There is an HDMI 2.1 port, HDMI 2.0 port, and three USB-C ports with DisplayLink.
Users will need to use DisplayLink software to use all five external displays, but the dock is essentially universally compatible. Additional ports in the front enable users to charge other devices like their iPhone.
Get the 5 Display Dock for $264.95 from Plugable.
USB-C PD 10-Port Priority Charger
The 10-port USB-C charger uses Plugable’s PriorityShare technology to intelligently distribute power across all connected devices. Prioritize charging order from left to right, and as each device reaches full charge, power is reallocated down the line.

Connect any USB-C power supply from 18W to 100W, and the available power will be allocated to the connected devices. Usually, this would mean turning the incoming charge into a trickle as it was spread across each port, but PriorityShare handles it differently.
Even with the slowest 18W rating, devices will be charged in order until they are filled. Connect anything from your iPhone to your AirPods and wake up with everything charged.

USB-C Quad 4K HDMI Graphics Adapter with 100W PD charging
The DisplayLink Pro Quad Display Adapter is a travel-ready accessory that can connect four 4K 60Hz HDMI displays to a single USB-C port. The connected laptop and accessories get up to 100W passthrough charging.

The adapter works with any M-series Mac and adds four displays to your setup. It has an integrated USB-C cable for easy connection.
Users will need to use DisplayLink software to use all four external displays, but the dock is essentially universally compatible. It can be bus powered, but the included PD passthrough port allows 90W to charge the laptop while 10W is used to power the dock.
