Not long ago, Intel announced that its 11th-generation processor platform is the first to be equipped with the Thunderbolt 4 interface. It is a step forward on the basis of the Thunderbolt 3 interface and is compatible with the USB4 standard. In the future, the Thunderbolt/USB4 super high-speed interface is expected to be rapidly popularized.
The highest transmission rate of Thunderbolt 4 is 40Gbps like Thunderbolt 3. The difference is that Thunderbolt 4 "patches and perfects" certain parts of Thunderbolt 3. For example, the Thunderbolt 4 interface requires the connection of 4 Thunderbolt accessories and 2 meters of 40Gbps cable , Thin and light notebooks require at least one Thunderbolt interface to support input charging, support VT-d-based DMA protection to improve safety, and so on. A few days ago, the Intel Thunderbolt 4 official website updated the Thunderbolt 4 product certification display. Since then, the Thunderbolt 4 technical specifications have officially entered the market.
Zikko has long been committed to promoting the development of Raiden’s ultra-high-speed data interface. It has launched a variety of Raiden 3 devices, including Zikko Raiden 3 professional Mini docking station, Zikko 85W expansion dock evaluation, Zikko Raiden 3 data cable, etc. This time Intel Raiden Zikko's participation is indispensable for the first launch. You can see the product display of Thunderbolt 4 cables on the Intel THUNDERBOLT official website. Zikko became the first brand to obtain Thunderbolt 4 certification.
data rate: Zikko Thunderbolt 4 data cable supports 2-CH TBT Gen2 or TBT Gen3 full-duplex high-speed transmission; supports 1-CH USB3.2 Gen1 or Gen2 or 2-CH USB3.2 Gen2 full-duplex high-speed transmission; Support USB4 Gen2 / Gen3 full-duplex high-speed transmission; support 1-CH USB2.0 half-duplex transmission.
Video transmission: support DP1.4, 4-channel DisplayPort video signal transmission, DP alternate mode; dual protocol support for TBT mode (PCI Express and DisplayPort), can be used for daisy chain devices; for USB4 mode (USB, PCI Express and DisplayPort *) three-protocol support, which can be used for USB4 daisy chain devices.
Power transmission performance: Supports USB PD3.0 standard, the maximum output current supports 5A, according to the current PD maximum output voltage of 20V, it can provide up to 20V5A 100W high-power power transmission. The
Zikko Thunderbolt 4 data cable integrates three functions: data transmission, video transmission, and power transmission. It uses a USB-C physical interface to support positive and negative blind plugging. It can be used by Windows and MacOS.
