SMARTER WORKSPACE: The next generation of Thunderbolt™ 4 finally brings true PC connectivity to notebooks and other devices: fast transfer speeds, multi-functional ports and a desk without cable clutter
THUNDERBOLT 4 – THE FUTURE OF CONNECTIVITY: Compatible with e.g. DisplayPort, PCle and USB 4 as well as backwards compatible with previous Thunderbolt™ versions: it's the cable connection that trumps all others
THUNDERBOLT 4 AND GAMING: Those using external PCIe devices in conjunction with the IB-DK8801-TB4 and a compatible TB4 system can now run games directly from an external NVMe SSD
IMMERSE IN DIVERSITY: High resolutions for Thunderbolt™ 4 enabled devices. Increase visual productivity with Ultra HD image sharpness, contrast and colour depth via the available HDMI® and Thunderbolt™ 4 connections
THUNDERBOLT 4 AND PD: IB-DK8801-TB4 charges smartphones, notebooks and more, everything that requires less than 100 watts. The benefit: no need for a separate power supply
It is the superset standard that includesUSB4®, DisplayPort™ and PCI Express (PCIe). With Thunderbolt™ 4, a data transfer rate of up to 40 Gbit/s (at 2 m cable length) as well as 32 GB/s PCIe data transfer must be guaranteed, at least one 100 W charging port must be available and wake-up from sleep mode must be possible.
What is the difference between Thunderbolt™ 3 and 4?
Theoretically, a Thunderbolt™ 3 device should be able to do the same as a Thunderbolt™ 4 device. However, compared to version 3, Thunderbolt™ 4 now has to meet much stricter standards to be certified. This includes, among other things, support for two 4K displays or one 8K display.
IB-DK8801-TB4 prevents cyber attacks
This is realised through Virtualisation Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d). It prevents physical DMA attacks by protecting PCIe peripherals from unauthorised access to memory using DMA remapping. Access is thus only allowed to an isolated and allocated memory of a specific device.
