Go to StarTech.comThunderbolt 3 to PCIe USB 3.1 Adapter - Chassis + 4 Port Card
This Thunderbolt 3 to 4 port PCIe USB 3.1 hub connects your Thunderbolt 3 enabled computer to external USB 3.1 (Gen 2) devices by combining a chassis with PCIe card
Product ID: BNDTBUSB3142
- Transfer files and access USB 3.1 devices faster, with up to 10Gbps throughput
- Create an efficient work station with extra displays using the DisplayPort output and additional Thunderbolt 3 port
- Upgrade your peripherals without having to upgrade your chassis by just switching out your PCIe card
- Assemble and install easily with just a screwdriver
Connect your Thunderbolt™ 3 enabled computer to external USB 3.1 (Gen 2) devices using this Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe USB 3.1 adapter. Providing up to 10Gbps throughput, the adapter offers four USB 3.1 ports on two independent bus channels, an additional TB3 port, and a DisplayPort output. The adapter combines the StarTech.com USB 3.1 PCIe card (PEXUSB314A2V) and the TB3 chassis (TB31PCIEX16).
Faster USB performance
With two host controller chipsets, shared across two ports instead of four, this 4-port Thunderbolt 3 to USB 3.1 adapter dedicates up to 10Gbps for each set of two USB ports. It reduces performance bottlenecks and doubles your total available bandwidth to 20Gbps.
Increase productivity with Thunderbolt 3
Thunderbolt 3 is the fastest connection available. By avoiding performance bottlenecks, you can accomplish more in the same amount of time. With 40Gbps of throughput and support for other high-performance PCIe cards, you can swap the card in and out, to add the peripherals you need connected to a Thunderbolt 3 desktop or laptop computer.
Install and assemble with ease
Requiring only a Phillips type screwdriver, this Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe USB 3.1 adapter can be assembled and connected in minutes.
The TB31PCIEX16 and PEXUSB314A2V are backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty.
Applications
- Ideal for connecting your USB legacy and next-generation devices to a Thunderbolt 3 enabled computer
- Great for file backups, video editing, and data recovery, using high-bandwidth USB 3.1 Gen 2 external storage solutions
- For use with large external storage solutions
