CalDigit Element 5 Hub Thunderbolt 5 120Gb/s Thunderbolt 5 & USB4 80Gb/s

CalDigit Element 5 Hub The Most Compact Thunderbolt 5 Hub

The CalDigit Element 5 Hub (E5) is a truly unique device. It features more ports than any other Thunderbolt hub. It does this while also maintaining the exact same compact size as the previous Thunderbolt 4 Element Hub. With a wide selection of powerful ports, it is an ideal solution for expanding workflows, while taking up minimal desk space.

Even though the device is compact, it includes features found in high-end docks, such as 90W of consistent host charging, up to 120Gb/s connectivity, and support for up to 3 displays on supported Windows Thunderbolt 5 PCs.

Connect what you need, when you need.

Total Compatibility

When you have such a powerful hub you also need the flexibility to use it with any device.

The Element 5 Hub is compatible with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3 Macs, USB4, USB4 v2, and USB-C devices.

This also includes USB-C or Thunderbolt iPads, iPhones, Windows tablets and more.

3 Monitors on Windows

Thunderbolt 5 allows for 3 external monitors to be connected to a Windows host computer that supports it, and the fact that the Element 5 Hub has 3 downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports makes it ideal for users that intend on connecting 3 displays.

Single, Dual, or Triple Displays

Whether you need a high-resolution display, a high-refresh rate display, or up to 3 external displays, the Element 5 Hub has you covered.

Single Monitor

If you’re looking to add a single monitor to the Element 5 Hub you can connect it to one of the spare Thunderbolt 5 ports. If you wish to connect an HDMI monitor you can use a USB-C to HDMI Adapter ***.

Dual Monitors

• macOS users on base M4, M1/M2/M3/M4 Pro, M1/M2/M3/M4 Max, M1/M2 Ultra, or Intel based Macs can connect up to dual displays.
• M1/M2/M3 based Macs are limited to 1 external monitor by design via their Thunderbolt ports.
• Windows PC Thunderbolt 5 and Thunderbolt 4 users can connect up to dual displays.

Triple Monitors

• macOS does not support Triple monitors via a Thunderbolt Dock or Hub.
• Windows PC Thunderbolt 5 users can connect up to three displays on supported host computers.
• Windows PC Thunderbolt 4 users cannot connect three displays natively.

90W - Enough Power to Fast Charge your Apple Devices

Traditional USB hubs cannot compete with the Element 5 Hub’s power delivery. This is thanks to the included power supply which provides a “sustained” 90W of power delivery at all times to the host device.

USB hubs that claim up to 100W power delivery often reduce the actual power delivery based on how many USB devices are connected to it. Rest assured that this does not happen with the Element 5 Hub because of the included 180W power supply.
