The Most Compact Thunderbolt 5 Hub

Description

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.

Introducing the CalDigit Element 5

CalDigit's first Thunderbolt 5 device is here!

Not Your Average Hub

Traditional USB hubs are mostly equipped with low performing ports, or ports with insufficient power delivery in order to keep your devices charged.

The Element 5 Hub allows you to have both great performance, and consistent power, thanks to the up to 120Gb/s throughput of Thunderbolt 5.

Total Compatibility

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*.

*The Element 5 Hub does not support Thunderbolt 3 Windows PCs. Users on Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB-C host computers, tablets, or phones will see reduced functionality.

Faster than Your Average Hub

The Thunderbolt 5 ports on the Element 5 Hub provide up to 6,200MB/s performance for your external storage devices, which is double that of Thunderbolt 4, and much higher than typical USB hubs.

*Thunderbolt SSDs are only compatible with Thunderbolt & USB4 host computers. The actual performance may be slightly slower due to latency and protocol overhead.

Versatile USB Ports

The versatility of having both USB-C and USB-A ports offers great convenience. All of the USB ports on the Element 5 Hub offer 10Gb/s performance, and 7.5W of power.

This is an ideal option for connecting high performance USB-C SSDs to the hub. Don’t forget that you can also connect USB-C devices to the Thunderbolt 5 ports.

90W - Enough Power to Fast Charge all your devices

The Element 5 Hub 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. This does not happen with the Element 5 Hub because of the included 180W power supply.

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.

MacOS computers currently only support a maximum of 2 displays, depending on device. Windows computers with Thunderbolt 5 can support up to 3 displays.

Reversible Design

A great function of the Element 5 Hub’s design is that it is reversible allowing you to be able to use it on either side of your laptop.

This allows users to have more flexibility and freedom when designing their specific set-up.

iPads, iPhones & Windows Tablets

Element 5 Hub can also be used with Thunderbolt or USB-C tablets and phones. This includes iPads and iPhones.

Element 5 Hub will add up to 8 devices for next-level connectivity.

*Functionality will be reduced when using the Element 5 Hub on phones or tablets.

Bandwidth Boost

When you connect bandwidth intensive monitors to the Element 5 Hub it will enable Bandwidth Boost in order to prioritise displays - up to 120Gb/s performance. This will then keep 40Gb/s for the rest of the dock.

This allows for higher refresh rate displays to be connected to the device, as well as three 4K 60Hz displays on Windows Thunderbolt 5 PCs.
