USB-C is an industry standard connector and cable that is used for communication, connection, and power between computers and devices and supports the USB 2.0 protocol. It exists in about ten different configurations, and Thunderbolt 3 supports all of these USB-C connector configurations.
Thunderbolt 3 provides transfer speeds of up to 40 Gb/s, supports two 4K graphics displays, and can power laptops and peripherals through a single port and cable. Its cable connector can connect to the port on any Thunderbolt 3 device, simplifying the cable and connector selection process and eliminating the need to distinguish between the types of cables required for different devices.
Thunderbolt 3 also allows multiple Thunderbolt devices to be connected in a "daisy chain" form, which means that when adding or removing devices, you can simply plug or unplug to resume work without re-networking the entire system. This feature can save production time when purchasing a new display, external storage device or other peripherals.
The Purplelec TU001 4-in-1 Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station has a Thunderbolt 3 upstream interface for connecting to the host, 3 Thunderbolt 3 downstream interfaces, and is compatible with USB4, with a transmission speed of up to 40Gbps, video output up to 8K30Hz, or 2*4K60Hz; a USB3.2 Gen2 interface with a data transmission speed of up to 10Gbps, and backward compatibility with USB3.1/3.0/2.0/1.0; a DC interface that provides 60W power supply to quickly charge a laptop.
