HP Thunderbolt 4 Ultra 280W G6 Docking Station - Thunderbolt 4 (40Gbps), 12 Ports Plus Host Connection - New

The HP Thunderbolt 4 Ultra 280W G6 Dock (AW5M5UT#ABA) is a Thunderbolt 4 (up to 40Gbps) docking station built for professionals and IT fleets running multi-monitor workstations. Its combined Thunderbolt 4 + power-barrel host cable delivers up to 280W to supported HP workstations, or up to 180W via standard Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C Power Delivery 3.1 on other compatible hosts. Five USB-A ports, three USB-C ports, two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, an HDMI 2.1 port, and 2.5Gbps Ethernet connect an entire desk setup through one cable. Basic connectivity works across Windows 10/11, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux, and ThinPro, while dock management features such as Wake-on-LAN and MAC address pass-through are supported on HP or HP-supported notebooks.

HP Thunderbolt 4 Ultra 280W G6 Dock - Key Features & Benefits

• Thunderbolt 4 Host Connection: A single cable provides Thunderbolt 4 (up to 40Gbps) data transfer, with up to 280W of power delivery on supported HP workstations via the combined Thunderbolt 4 + power-barrel connector, or up to 180W via standard Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C Power Delivery 3.1 on other compatible hosts.
• Multi-Display Support: Two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, an HDMI 2.1 port, and a USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode port support up to four external monitors (or three externals plus the laptop screen). Maximum resolution is up to 8K, dependent on the host GPU, Display Stream Compression (DSC) support, refresh rate, and display configuration.
• 12 Ports Plus the Host Connection: 5x USB-A and 3x USB-C downstream ports plus 2.5Gbps Ethernet connect peripherals, monitors, and network in addition to the Thunderbolt 4 host cable.
• Dock Firmware Protection: HP Sure Start firmware protection verifies and helps recover dock firmware integrity at startup and disconnect, working alongside the broader HP Wolf Security framework on supported HP commercial PCs.
• Cloud-Ready Manageability: HP CMSL enables disconnected firmware updates, Wake-on-LAN, MAC address pass-through, and PXE boot for IT teams managing docks at scale — these dock-management features are supported on HP or HP-supported notebooks.

HP Thunderbolt 4 Ultra 280W G6 Dock - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What do I need on my computer to use all of this dock's features?
  Your PC needs a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, Thunderbolt 3 Alt Mode, or USB4 for full data and video pass-through, plus a USB-C Power Delivery implementation for charging. Features like power-button wake, Wake-on-LAN, and MAC address pass-through are fully supported only on HP or HP-supported notebooks.
• What's the difference between this AW5M5UT#ABA and the TAA version (AW5N3AA)?
  Both share the same port layout, power delivery specifications (up to 280W on supported HP workstations, up to 180W standard PD 3.1), and Thunderbolt 4 performance. The TAA-compliant AW5N3AA version does not include HP Quick Connect or Poly Lens cloud management, both of which are available on this AW5M5UT#ABA model.
• How is this dock powered, and is an adapter included?
  The included 330W power adapter feeds the dock's combined Thunderbolt 4 + power-barrel host connector, which delivers up to 280W to supported HP workstations. On other hosts, power delivery is up to 180W through standard Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C Power Delivery 3.1 — check your laptop's PD 3.1 support before expecting the full 280W.
