Technical specifications identify a multi-bridge chipset architecture utilizing VIA Labs or Realtek controllers to manage 10Gbps signaling across eight total USB ports. Performance metrics indicate active power management for 100W PD-in (85W effective), which requires the included 65W power supply for stable rail voltages. Material analysis confirms the aluminum chassis dissipates heat from the 10Gbps bridge chips, which can reach 45°C during sustained transfers.
Hardware features include:
- Eight total USB ports (4 USB-A, 4 USB-C) supporting 10Gbps.
- SD/TF 4.0 card slots for high-speed media ingestion.
- Hybrid 2-in-1 USB-A/USB-C host connector.
Aggregated data confirms that operation in USB-A mode disables Power Delivery and throttles data to legacy 5Gbps speeds. Technical documentation lists a lack of HDMI/DisplayPort output, as the unit is optimized for data density.
The Anker 565 provides a different 11-in-1 profile that includes dual monitor support and Ethernet. This hardware is defined as a high-density throughput solution in the smart docking stations category.
