Unstoppable Speed
Experience next‑level performance with Thunderbolt™ 5, delivering up to 80 Gbps speeds and advanced Bandwidth Boost technology that pushes up to 120 Gbps. Support stunning multi‑display setups and power devices with up to 240W charging—all through a single high‑performance connection.
Intel® Certified
Built on Intel®‑certified technology, Thunderbolt™ 5 is engineered to meet Intel’s performance standards for high‑speed connectivity. This certification enables up to 80 Gbps of bi‑directional bandwidth, doubling the performance of the previous generation, and supports Bandwidth Boost up to 120 Gbps for demanding one‑way data needs such as uncompressed 8K video and large media uploads. Intel certification helps ensure the reliability and performance required for advanced data‑intensive applications.
Power Delivery
Deliver up to 240W of power to keep laptops and connected devices fully charged, powered, and ready for action through a single high‑performance connection.
Unlock a cleaner, more efficient workspace with Thunderbolt™ 5 daisy‑chaining. This cable makes it easy to connect multiple devices—such as monitors, docks, and external storage—in a single, streamlined chain. Enjoy fast, reliable performance across every connected device without compromising speed or quality, reducing cable clutter while maximizing productivity. Ideal for modern workstations, Thunderbolt 5 daisy‑chaining simplifies complex setups with one powerful connection.
Bandwidth Boost Technology dynamically delivers up to 120 Gbps of bandwidth in one direction, making it ideal for large video streams and data uploads, while continuing to receive data at 40 Gbps. This flexible bandwidth allocation supports high‑demand workloads without interrupting incoming data performance.
Found mostly on high-end laptops, desktops, and docking stations, Thunderbolt ports and cables offer advanced performance. Thunderbolt cables are backward-compatible with USB-C enabled devices; however, not all USB-C cables support Thunderbolt.
While USB-C may seem similar on paper, not all USB-C devices and cables perform the same, whereas Thunderbolt, with its strict certification requirements, provides AV professionals with a consistent and reliable solution.
