Introduction This Thunderbolt™ 3 card enables fast data transfer from external peripherals such as external hard disks, digital cameras and video cameras. It features two external Thunderbolt™ output ports, two DisplayPort™ input ports and one internal GPIO header. Thunderbolt™ 3 technology is a transformational high-speed, multi- protocol I/O that provides unmatched performance over USBC™ I/O technologies with up to 40Gbps transfer speeds*. It provides flexibility and simplicity by supporting both data (PCIe) and video (DisplayPort™) on a single cable connection that can daisy-chain up to six devices. The HP Thunderbolt™ 3 Dual Port PCIe I/O Card is backward compatible to allow your Thunderbolt™ 2 devices (compatible adapter required). Thunderbolt™ 3 technology dramatically increases the data transfer rate enabling faster backup, editing and file sharing, significantly reducing the time to complete key tasks. Thunderbolt™ 3 technology was specifically designed with inherently low latency and highly accurate time synchronization capabilities. These features enable extremely accurate audio and video creation, playback and editing that no other standard interconnect technology can match. *Maximum speed requires DisplayPort™ and PCIe aggregation. Performance The HP Thunderbolt™ 3 Dual Port PCIe I/O Card performs with data rates of up to 40 Gb/s*. *Maximum speed requires DisplayPort™ and PCIe aggregation. NOTE: Actual performance will be lower based on protocol overhead and the peripherals attached. Key Benefits Data transfer between digital electronic devices that support the Thunderbolt™, Thunderbolt™ 2 and Thunderbolt™ 3 standards. • Up to 40Gbps*, dual channel data transfer • Data & Video on single cable with support for USB, PCI Express and DisplayPort™ • Daisy chain up to six devices • Compatible with existing DisplayPort™ devices • Low latency with highly accurate time synchronization • Uses native PCIe and DisplayPort™ protocol software drivers • Up to 15W of power over USB-C™ for bus-powered devices *Maximum speed requires DisplayPort™ and PCIe aggregation.
