Anker 575 USB-C Docking Station (13-in-1)
The Anker 575 is a USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode) docking station — not Thunderbolt — delivering 85W of host charging, triple-display output, gigabit Ethernet, and SD readers. Despite not being Thunderbolt, it is one of the most popular and reliable docks in the Framework community for both FW13 and FW16, including on Linux1.

Because the 575 is an MST hub (not a DP-tunnel dock), it is better suited to multi-monitor on AMD Frameworks than Thunderbolt docks like the CalDigit TS41.
The 575 delivers 85W. On the FW16 that is fine for iGPU-only use, but the battery will slowly discharge under sustained GPU+CPU load. Community members commonly keep the 180W charger plugged in alongside the dock1.
This is a USB-C dock, so it needs a port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode — all Framework Expansion Card USB-C ports qualify. It will not work from a USB-A-only connection.
