Thunderbolt™ 3, Thunderbolt™ 4 and Thunderbolt™ 5 solutions
UL Solutions provides Intel Corporation-approved Thunderbolt™ 3, Thunderbolt™ 4 and Thunderbolt™ 5 testing service. Thunderbolt 3 increases the speed of Thunderbolt via USB-C® up to 40 Gbps, creating a compact port that supports a fast and versatile connection to docks as well as display and data devices. Thunderbolt 3 ports also supply up to 100W of power that can increase charging speeds to devices.
Thunderbolt 4 is the connectivity solution that is capable of transferring data, outputting a display and even providing power. Thunderbolt 4 builds on the innovation of Thunderbolt 3 connectivity. Thunderbolt 4 provides a 40 Gbps connection for data and video and also provides 100W of power over a single connection. It is the most comprehensive Thunderbolt specification yet with compliance across the broadest set of industry-standard specifications – including USB4®, DisplayPort™, and PCI Express (PCIe®) – and is fully compatible with prior generations of Thunderbolt and USB products.
Thunderbolt 5 is the next-generation connectivity solution that is built on industry standard, including USB4 V2, capable of delivering 80 Gbps bandwidth and can potentially provide up to 120 Gbps for better display performance. Thunderbolt 5 is designed to be compatible with previous versions of Thunderbolt and USB.
UL Solutions’ Thunderbolt laboratory testing covers electrical and functional testing on Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 5 hosts such as laptop, desktop computers and devices such as displays, dockings and hubs.
