4. Introduction
Thunderbolt™ 3 was developed by Intel & uses
USB Type -C connectors.
Codenamed Alpine Ridge.
Doubles the bandwidth to 40 Gbit/s (5 GB/s), halves power
consumption, and simultaneously drives two external 4K
displays at 60 Hz.
5. USB-C Cables & Connectors
Symmetric & Flip/Reversible.
Power delivery upto 100W of power-20V at 5A.
Supports alternate modes – DisplayPort*, Thunderbolt™,Audio etc.
