Baseus has officially released the Spacemate RD1 Pro, a 15-in-1 docking station initially teased at CES. It is a vertical desktop hub designed to consolidate peripheral connectivity and high-wattage charging into a single unit.
Baseus Spacemate RD1 Pro Specifications
The Spacemate RD1 Pro utilizes a vertical tower design to minimize its footprint on a desk. It features 15 distinct connection points split between the front and back. The front panel includes two USB-C ports capable of up to 100W power delivery, two 5Gbps USB-A ports, and a retractable magnetic Qi2.2 wireless charging pad. This wireless charger sits on a three-level extendable stand with an 80-degree adjustable viewing angle, outputting up to 25W for compatible phones and accessories.
The rear I/O handles the bulk of the permanent desktop connections. It includes the full-featured host USB-C port (which provides 100W of power delivery to the connected laptop), two 10Gbps USB-C ports, an SD/TF 3.0 card reader, two standard 480Mbps USB-A ports for peripherals like mice and keyboards, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, and two HDMI ports.
To support this array, Baseus bundles the dock with an 180W GaN power adapter, allowing the unit to sustain a total output of 160W across connected devices. It also features a front-facing smart display that provides real-time readouts on port usage, charging status, and power distribution.
Below the screen is a physical button that toggles the dock between two states: a Hybrid Mode that keeps all data and display connections active, and a Charging Mode that disables data transfer and external displays to prioritize maximum charging speed for connected devices.
For external monitors, the dock can drive a single display at 4K resolution at 120Hz or dual 4K displays at 60Hz. As is common with many USB-C docks, there is a strict limitation for macOS users: because Apple does not support Multi-Stream Transport (MST) over this protocol, Mac laptops will only support mirrored displays (ABB) when using both HDMI ports.
Windows users, however, can fully utilize dual extended displays (ABC). Baseus also says the inclusion of an enterprise-grade retimer chip to maintain signal integrity for video and high-speed data.
Pricing and Availability
The Baseus Spacemate RD1 Pro is available now in Cosmic Black. It can be purchased on Amazon in the US for $299.99 and in Germany for €259.99.
In related news, Baseus has recently launched a high-capacity 20,800mAh power bank with 145W charging alongside the Bowie MC2 clip-on earbuds, which feature LDAC, 11mm drivers, IP67 water and dust resistance, and up to 55 hours of use.
