PURPLELEC introduces the TB9001, a 14-port Thunderbolt 5 docking station engineered around two capabilities most docks leave out: native triple-display output, with each output supporting up to 7680×4320 (8K) at 60Hz, and a built-in M.2 NVMe SSD slot running on the dock's full 80Gbps channel. The result is a single-cable solution that drives up to three high-resolution displays and adds onboard storage—without a separate external SSD enclosure cluttering the desk.
The TB9001 is built for video editors, designers, IT administrators, and hybrid-work fleets that need dense connectivity, multi-monitor output, and local storage expansion from one device on one cable.
A different approach to the Thunderbolt 5 dock
Most Thunderbolt 5 docks on the market look alike because they lean on the same reference design—a stack of downstream Thunderbolt ports, no dedicated video outputs, and no onboard storage—pushing users toward extra adapters and external drives to finish their setup.
The TB9001 takes a different approach. Two dedicated Mini DisplayPort outputs plus a Thunderbolt 5 downstream port give it three independent video outputs, while an internal M.2 NVMe slot turns the dock into storage expansion at the same time. For buyers, that means a differentiated SKU that consolidates display, data, networking, and storage into one BOM line and one cable—a cleaner desk, fewer accessories to source, and fewer support tickets.
14 Ports. Triple 8K-Ready Outputs. Built-In NVMe. One Cable.
A single Thunderbolt 5 cable carries up to 80Gbps of bandwidth between the dock and the host laptop, while a dedicated 20V/8.5A power supply keeps the system stable under sustained professional workloads.
Connectivity includes:
• 1 × Thunderbolt 5 upstream (host), up to 80Gbps
• 1 × Thunderbolt 5 downstream, up to 80Gbps (video up to 8K 60Hz, 15W power)
• 2 × Mini DisplayPort, each up to 7680×4320 @ 60Hz
• 2 × USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, 10Gbps)
• 2 × USB-A (USB 2.0) for legacy peripherals
• 1 × 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000/2500 Mbps)
• 1 × SD 4.0 card reader, up to 312 MB/s read/write
• 1 × internal M.2 NVMe slot (2280, M Key & B&M Key) on the 80Gbps channel
• 1 × 3.5mm audio (input/output)
The chassis is machined from aluminum alloy for durable, stable operation on the desk or in the field.
Built for Mac and Windows, Thunderbolt 5 and Beyond
The TB9001 is compatible with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, and USB4 laptops, covering the full range of modern Apple Silicon Macs and Windows systems. For IT teams and integrators managing mixed device fleets, that broad compatibility means a single dock SKU that works across the organization—simplifying procurement, imaging, and inventory by matching one piece of hardware to every host.
As Thunderbolt 5 adoption grows across both consumer and enterprise hardware, the TB9001 is built to grow with it. Whether end users are upgrading from older Thunderbolt 4 machines today or standardizing on Thunderbolt 5 laptops on the next refresh cycle, the TB9001 is designed to stay relevant and keep performing—protecting the deployment investment without rethinking the entire desk setup.
OEM / ODM customization
As a manufacturer, PURPLELEC supports full OEM/ODM customization of the TB9001 for distributors, system integrators, and brand partners—covering private-label branding, hardware configuration, firmware, certifications, accessories, MOQ, lead time, and warranty terms.

Ideal for
• Creative workstations (video editing / design) — Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth plus built-in NVMe support real-time 8K editing, while the dual Mini DisplayPort outputs drive multi-screen color-grading setups.
• Conference rooms and offices — a single cable delivers multi-screen presentation, 2.5 Gigabit networking, and two-way audio for faster collaboration.
• Mobile and field deployment — a rugged aluminum enclosure and a stable 20V/8.5A supply keep data flowing reliably for on-site survey or broadcast work.
PURPLELEC is a Shenzhen-based manufacturer specializing in USB-C accessories, including docking stations, hubs, hard drive enclosures, and capture cards, with full OEM/ODM customization available.
