TS5 Plus: host AVS and downstream PPS are different ports

CalDigit's TS5Plus datasheet documents host EPR AVS15–28V. Its downstream Thunderbolt ports instead list36W options and PPS. Do not transfer one port's programmable mode to another.

Applies to: Exact CalDigit TS5Plus datasheet PDFp.2 PowerDelivery block, retrieved2026-10-23; no visible revision. Documentary implementation case, not an observed negotiated AVS contract.

Thunderbolt/USB data paths remain separate from the power option.

What the path requires

  • Exact TS5Plus supplied power adapter and specified host cable.
  • Source-defined EPR sink/cable requirements for any high-voltage target.
  • Separate software/data/video support from power support.

Host port options

The host block lists5V3A,9V3A,15V3A,20V4.9A and28V5A, with EPR AVS15–28V. The20V option is4.9A in this source, not a rounded5A.

Peripheral port options

Downstream Thunderbolt ports list5V3A,9V3A,15V2.4A and20V1.8A, with PPS. The front36W USB-C block is distinct again. These are alternatives and ceilings; the product table does not establish a sink's request.
