What is Dynamic Power Allocation?

Dynamic power allocation refers to a power mechanism of the dock that first allocates the power to meet the power demand of downstream devices in real-time, leaving the remaining power to charge the host device such as a laptop connected to the upstream port. 

 

This technology is essential in Thunderbolt 4 docks. A Thunderbolt 4 dock is purchased mainly for more external displays with high resolution and faster speeds to transmit large-scale files. That's why we use this new power management method to ensure all downstream devices have the best performance. 

 

This technology has been applied to our latest products, such as Anker 777 docking station (Apex, 12-in-1) and the 5-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 docking station.
