Thunderbolt 4 port - 73
THUNDERBOLT 4 PORT
A Thunderbolt 4 port allows you to easily
connect devices with a Type-C connector to
your computer, such as additional storage
(e.g. an external drive), displays, or any
other compatible device. Up to six devices,
including displays, can be connected in
series to a single Thunderbolt port.
The Thunderbolt connection uses a USB
Type-C port and is compatible with
Thunderbolt, USB, DisplayPort and power
on USB-C devices. The Type-C port is
reversable; connectors may be inserted with
either side up.
Displays
Up to two 4K displays can be connected to a single Thunderbolt 4 port.
If an adapter is used, DisplayPort or compatible devices, including
HDMI, DVI or VGA, can be used.
Note
Thunderbolt 4 ports support transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps, and USB devices
with a Type-C connector at lower speeds (typically up to 5 Gbps).
Other USB or older Thunderbolt devices with a USB Type-C connector (or
adapter) are supported, but transfer speeds may be reduced and certain
functions may be disabled (such as Thunderbolt display support).
Important
When removing a USB storage device, you should right-click on the
USB icon in the Windows task bar and select "Eject <device>" to tell the
operating system to stop using the device before removing it. Failure to
do this may result in data loss or damage to your peripheral.
