PORT MULTIPLICATION – TURN ONE THUNDERBOLT PORT INTO THREE

Flexible Device Connectivity for Work and Play

Based on the Intel Goshen Ridge controller, the Echo 5 Thunderbolt Hub features four Thunderbolt 4 ports; one for connection/power to your computer, plus three to directly connect Thunderbolt peripheral devices (and daisy chain up to a total of 5 devices). The Thunderbolt ports also support USB4 and USB 3 peripherals. For bus-powered devices, the Hub’s Thunderbolt peripheral ports provide 15W per port, supporting the most demanding bus-powered Thunderbolt and USB peripherals—they can even charge your iPhone® or iPad® twice as fast as using the USB Type A port.

Versatile Thunderbolt Expansion

Perfect for Thunderbolt 4 Windows and Thunderbolt 3 and 4 Macs (including Apple® M1 Macs with dual Thunderbolt/USB4 ports). Connect the hub and create three separate independent Thunderbolt expansion chains. Add and disconnect devices from one chain without affecting the others.

CONNECT
