Equipped with an Intel Goshen Ridge chipset, this Thunderbolt 4 workstation hub is engineered for high-bandwidth 8K or triple 4K@60Hz workflows. It is supplied with a 180W power adapter to ensure a stable 130W delivery to the host laptop, maintaining sufficient overhead for 13 peripheral ports. The "Smart" designation refers to integration with enterprise remote management protocols such as vPro and AMT.
Performance metrics demonstrate that achieving maximum display resolution requires host support for DisplayStream Compression (DSC) 1.2. The modular design allows for the replacement of the Thunderbolt cable module, which extends the service life of the unit in the event of cable failure. Technical specifications list dual Thunderbolt 4 downstream ports, enabling the daisy-chaining of high-speed NVMe storage arrays.
Thermal and Power Specifications
The internal cooling system includes an active fan to maintain thermal equilibrium under full load. While providing a proprietary power boost for specific laptop models, standard USB-C Power Delivery devices will be limited to 90W. Material analysis confirms enterprise-grade capacitor selection and thermal management systems for increased reliability over time.
Users seeking a modular Thunderbolt 4 solution that permits future hardware upgrades or repairs should select the Dell SD25TB4 Pro for its long-term serviceability.
This unit is a high-performance anchor within the smart docking stations infrastructure.
