Exact scope

CalDigit TS5 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.

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.

Read before using the profile

  • Scoped M1–M4 Pro/Max Mac path: up to two native external displays, macOS 15 or later. Three spare Thunderbolt sockets do not make three screens in this cohort.
  • No dedicated DisplayPort socket; any USB-C-to-DisplayPort or HDMI adapter needs separate exact evidence.
  • Fallback transport and exact link conditions are unmodeled. Zero native_usb_limit belongs to this Thunderbolt-only scope.
