Exact scope

CalDigit TS5 Plus only; native Thunderbolt mode and the six named M1–M4 Pro/Max MacBook Pro hosts are the active worksheet scope.

Selected documented host/display port groups only; not a complete physical inventory or hardware test. Counts and roles follow the named manufacturer source; no inferred chassis geometry.

Same connector form, different documented roles

USB-C: Computer / Thunderbolt upstream — Upstream host · Downstream Thunderbolt display paths — Display output / downstream

Do not transfer a capability from one location to another merely because the connector outline matches.

Upstream host

Computer / Thunderbolt upstream

Use the port designated for the computer and the manufacturer specified upstream cable.

Display output / downstream

Downstream Thunderbolt display paths

Spare Thunderbolt sockets can carry display paths; their physical count does not override the scoped simultaneous-display limit.

Display output

DisplayPort output

Dedicated DisplayPort display output; any conversion is a separately documented accessory.

Read before using the profile

  • Scoped M1–M4 Pro/Max Mac path: up to two native external displays, macOS 15 or later. Other hosts and Windows ceilings are outside this profile.
  • Only spare Thunderbolt and DisplayPort sockets are display outputs. Ordinary USB data sockets are omitted from this selected inventory.
  • USB-C fallback, USB4 classification, HBR, DSC, dock firmware and internal power reserve are not inferred. Zero native_usb_limit is an excluded transport in this profile, not a universal unsupported verdict.
