For the first time, one computer port connects to Thunderbolt devices, every display, and billions of USB devices. Thunderbolt 3 brings Thunderbolt to USB-C at speeds up to 40 Gbps, creating one compact port that does it all – delivering the fastest, most versatile connection to any dock, display, or data device. The four PCIe Gen3 lanes and the Thunderbolt 3 interface are capable of transfer rates up to 40Gbps, providing enough bandwidth for both the internal PCIe card as well as any additional Thunderbolt devices in the daisy chain. The PCIe (x16) slot accepts half-length, full-height, double-width cards and provides a maximum of 25W. Daisy-chain up to 6 Thunderbolt devicesĤ Lane PCI Express 3.0 Compliant Interface.Removable back panel for double-width cards.4 lane PCI Express 3.0 compliant interface.1 PCIe (x16) slot supporting half-length, full-height, double-width cards.2nd Thunderbolt port supports Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1, and DisplayPort devices.Dedicated DisplayPort for additional monitor to expand the workspace.Thunderbolt™ 3 for lightning fast transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps.Installing and replacing the PCIe card is a simple matter of removing a few thumb screws and does not require any tools.
The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connection not only makes adding an external PCIe card easy but it also allows you to take the device with you to use on location and move it from one system to another. laptop computers) where installing an internal expansion card is not an option and for systems where there is not enough space for more PCIe cards. The Node Lite provides an additional PCIe slot for Thunderbolt 3 computers (e.g.
