Following its initial preview at CES, Baseus has officially launched the Spacemate RD1 Pro, a premium 15-in-1 vertical docking station. Designed to declutter modern workspaces, this powerful desktop hub combines extensive peripheral connectivity with high-wattage charging capabilities into a single, space-saving tower.

Sleek Vertical Design and Front-Panel Accessibility

The Baseus Spacemate RD1 Pro utilizes an ergonomic vertical design that drastically minimizes its footprint on your desk. The front panel is tailored for quick-access connectivity, housing two USB-C ports that deliver up to 100W Power Delivery (PD) alongside two 5Gbps USB-A ports.

A standout feature on the front is the retractable, magnetic Qi2.2 wireless charging pad. Mounted on a three-level extendable stand with an 80-degree adjustable viewing angle, this wireless charger can output up to 25W to efficiently power up compatible smartphones and accessories.

Comprehensive Rear Connectivity for Desktop Setups

The back of the Spacemate RD1 Pro handles the heavy lifting for permanent workstation peripherals. Its extensive rear I/O layout includes:

• Host USB-C Port: A full-featured port supplying up to 100W PD to charge your connected laptop.
• Dual USB-C Ports: Two high-speed 10Gbps ports for fast data transfers.
• Dual USB-A Ports: Two standard 480Mbps ports optimized for peripherals like keyboards and mice.
• Display Output: Two HDMI ports.
• Storage & Networking: An SD/TF 3.0 card reader and a Gigabit Ethernet jack for secure, high-speed internet.

Heavy-Duty GaN Power & Smart Status Display

To fuel all 15 connection points simultaneously, Baseus bundles the dock with a robust 180W GaN power adapter, allowing the unit to sustain a total power output of 160W across all connected devices.

Monitoring this power distribution is easy thanks to a front-facing smart LED display, which provides real-time readouts on active port utilization, charging status, and power metrics. Located just below the screen is a physical mode button that allows users to instantly toggle between two states:

• Hybrid Mode: Keeps all data, networking, and external display connections fully active.
• Charging Mode: Disables data transfers and external displays to channel maximum power purely into charging connected devices at top speed.

High-End Display Capabilities and OS Compatibility

Equipped with an enterprise-grade retimer chip to ensure video and data signal integrity, the Spacemate RD1 Pro offers flexible monitor configurations. It can drive a single external display at 4K resolution with a fluid 120Hz refresh rate, or dual 4K monitors at 60Hz.

However, display functionality varies depending on your operating system:

• Windows Users: Can fully utilize dual extended displays (ABC mode).
• macOS Users: Due to Apple’s native lack of support for Multi-Stream Transport (MST) over this protocol, MacBook users will be limited to mirrored dual external displays (ABB mode).

Pricing and Availability

The Baseus Spacemate RD1 Pro is out now in a sleek Cosmic Black finish. It can be purchased on Amazon, retailing at $299.99 in the United States and €259.99 in Germany.
