Introduction of Thunderbolt

Intel released the long-advertised Light Peak technology, and named “Thunderbolt”, “Thunderbolt” interface, commonly known as the Thunderbolt interface.Thunderbolt connectivity technology combines PCIExpress data transfer technology and DisplayPort display technology.

 Thunderbolt connectivity technology combines PCIExpress data transfer technology and DisplayPort display technology to simultaneously transfer data and video signals, and provides 10Gbp/s bandwidth in both directions for each channel, with the latest Thunderbolt 4 reaching 40Gbp/s. The Thunderbolt connector has the same appearance as the mini Display Port connector, which provides faster transfer speeds and a wide range of types of connectivity for your computer. The Thunderbolt interface has the same appearance as the miniDisplay Port interface, it can provide the computer with faster transfer speeds and the feature of transferring multiple types of data at the same time. each Thunderbolt interface has two channels, each channel can reach a bandwidth of up to 10Gbps in both directions. not only that, but it can be daisy-chained to connect up to six devices and one display device with a native DP connector.

The Thunderbolt cables are available in two versions: the already available cable type Thunderbolt cable, which offers a dual-channel bidirectional bandwidth of 10 Gbps, as well as a 12 W power supply (the latest Thunderbolt 3 has a 100 W power supply and a 40 Gbps transmission bandwidth), which allows for the direct drive of passive mobile devices. Another version of the cable material for fiber optic, theoretically fiber optic transmission speed can reach 100Gbps, is 10 times the cable version, USB3.0 interface 20 times, will be the best choice for the transmission speed of the device has a very high demand for the best choice.
