Technical specifications indicate the Anker 565 utilizes a multi-bridge chipset architecture to manage DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, and dual 10Gbps data lanes simultaneously. Performance metrics show the use of the Realtek RTL8153 for Gigabit Ethernet and VL822 series controllers for USB 3.2 Gen 2 throughput. Material analysis confirms the aluminum chassis dissipates the internal heat generated during 85W Power Delivery (PD) loads, where surface temperatures can reach 45°C.
Operational modes include:
- 10Gbps parity across both USB-A and USB-C ports.
- UHS-II SD/microSD 4.0 bus speeds for media professional workflows.
- 85W net PD charging to the host device.
Technical documentation confirms that dual 4K@60Hz output on Windows requires host-side DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC) support. M1, M2, and M3 base MacBooks are restricted to a single external display due to hardware bus limitations.
The Anker 563 provides an alternative 11-in-1 configuration focused on data port density rather than video variety. This unit is classified as a high-bandwidth signal concentrator within the smart docking stations category.
