Interface Summary
The CalDigit Thunderbolt™ Station is a hot swappable device, which allows you to disconnect and
reconnect the device without having to restart your computer. The interfaces on the Thunderbolt™
Station are hot pluggable, which means that peripheral devices can be disconnected and reconnect
without restarting your computer. When the Thunderbolt™ Station is disconnected; the computer
will default to its original settings. Any settings that have been set with the Thunderbolt™ Station
connected will automatically restore upon reconnection.
USB 3.0
The Thunderbolt™ Station has a total of three USB 3.0 ports (one in front), which support wake-
on USB. This enables your computer to wake from standby if it detects activity from one of the
USB devices connected to the Thunderbolt™ Station. These ports are backwards compatible with
all USB compliant peripherals such as printers, scanners, keyboards, and storage devices. The
Thunderbolt™ Station also supports UASP (USB attached SCSI Protocol), which greatly improves
its performance when used with UASP compatible devices.
NOTE
Please make sure to use high quality USB 3.0 cables for the best performance
and reliability. Certified USB 3.0 cables can be purchased from CalDigit (refer
to page 11).
