External docks have been a key component of Microsoft’s Surface laptops and tablets, using a proprietary connector.
That strategy is finally changing for the better, starting with the new Surface Thunderbolt 4 Dock.
Notably, this dock does not use a Surface Connect cable, like every Surface-branded dock and accessorybefore it.

The new dock is a sign that Microsoft will likely phase out the Surface Connector in future devices.
