  Thunderbolt 4 technology was first announced in January 2020, and with its introduction, there are more and more new devices on the market that support Thunderbolt 4. While new technology is exciting, it is often unclear how to use its actual advantages in a specific environment. When choosing new technology for your home office or office, the following three unique features of Thunderbolt 4 may be worth considering:
  1. Dual external displays:
  Thunderbolt 4 ensures that laptops can stably support at least two external 4K displays when using a Thunderbolt dock. This is different from the previous Thunderbolt 3, which sometimes needs to rely on docks with alternative technologies such as DisplayLink or MST (Multi-Stream Transport) to achieve dual display connections. When productivity reaches its peak, pairing a Thunderbolt 4 laptop with a Thunderbolt 4 dock, you can rest assured that this setup will ensure that dual external 4K displays will work as expected.

  2. Hub interface:
  Thunderbolt 4 now supports accessories with up to three additional Thunderbolt 4 ports, which means you can connect multiple devices to a single dock or hub. Compared to the 1:1 daisy chain connection that Thunderbolt 3 devices usually require, and not all devices include a second port, Thunderbolt 4 provides greater flexibility. This improvement is particularly ideal for users who have multiple high-performance Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 devices that need to be connected to a single host.
  3. Universal cable:
  Thunderbolt 4 introduces a universal 40Gbps Thunderbolt cable that supports 100W power supply and USB-C displays and can be up to 2 meters in length. The cable is marked with the Thunderbolt 4 symbol to ensure wide compatibility with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4 and USB-C. This means you no longer have to worry about which cable you need to fully utilize the full functionality of your Thunderbolt peripherals.
