Mini PC Cables, Hubs and Docks by Host Port

Matched to the USB4, Thunderbolt, USB-C and OCuLink ports your mini PC actually has.

What to look for

A dock needs the host port it was built for. USB4 and Thunderbolt docks need a USB4 port, and an OCuLink eGPU dock needs an OCuLink port, which only a handful of machines have. A Thunderbolt 5 dock works on a USB4 machine at 40 Gbps rather than 80, and we say so rather than leaving you to discover it. Cable length is recorded in metres whatever unit the seller used, because the passive USB4 limit of about 0.8 m is a real constraint and a figure in feet cannot be compared against it.

Pick your machine and the list becomes the parts that fit it, with the reason beside each one.

Before you buy

Will this dock work with my mini PC?

It needs the host port the dock expects. A Thunderbolt or USB4 dock needs a USB4 port, and an OCuLink eGPU dock needs an OCuLink port, which only a few machines have. Set the selector above and the list narrows to what your machine can actually drive.

What happens with a Thunderbolt 5 dock on a USB4 machine?

It works and runs at 40 Gbps rather than 80. That is worth knowing before paying the Thunderbolt 5 price, so the row says it.

Does cable length matter for USB4?

Yes. A passive 40 Gbps cable is specified to about 0.8 m; beyond that it has to be an active cable. Length is recorded on every cable row in metres, whatever unit the seller used.

Is an expensive HDMI cable worth it?

Only the certification is worth paying for. An Ultra High Speed HDMI cable is tested to 48 Gbps, which is what 4K at 120 Hz needs. Beyond that certification the price buys braiding, not bandwidth.
