Dell Thunderbolt Dock WD22TB4

Several sockets share display resources; transport and host OS change the relevant constraints.

Same connector form, different documented roles

USB-C: Upstream Thunderbolt cable — Upstream host · Rear MFDP USB-C — Display output · Rear Thunderbolt outputs — Display / downstream

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

Read before using the profile

HDMI and MFDP are alternatives. Both downstream Thunderbolt displays disable the conventional display group.
A source-defined topology is not a measured mode, complete port inventory or hardware guarantee.

Scope and limitations

The HDMI / MFDP pair is mutually exclusive.
Two Thunderbolt displays disable the conventional video group.
The normalized USB-C DP Alt Mode direct-path ceiling is three. The publisher’s fourth-display non-Thunderbolt rows require daisy chaining, which this worksheet excludes.
