Thunderbolt 5 Element 5 Hub

The CalDigit E5 Hub expands a single Thunderbolt 5 or USB4 v2 port into nine ports while delivering 90W host charging. It suits professionals who need multiple high-speed peripherals and displays from one compact device. Builders using Thunderbolt 3 Windows PCs cannot use this hub at all.

Bandwidth Boost up to 120Gb/s

When connected to a compatible Thunderbolt 5 host the hub can allocate 120Gb/s for displays and keep 40Gb/s for data. Standard Thunderbolt 5 ports run at 80Gb/s and USB-C 10Gb/s ports provide 10Gb/s. USB4 v2 and older hosts lose the Boost and high-refresh display modes.

90W sustained charging from 180W PSU

The included 180W supply guarantees 90W Power Delivery to the host even with every port occupied. Offline charging keeps phones and tablets powered when the hub is disconnected from the computer. Laptops requiring more than 90W will not charge at full speed.

Questions about this item

Which of the three Thunderbolt 5 ports or the two USB-C 10Gb/s ports should I use for my fastest storage?

Use the three Thunderbolt 5 ports; each runs at 80Gb/s and can reach 120Gb/s with Bandwidth Boost on a compatible host.

What does the 90W charging figure mean when I also have drives and monitors attached?

The 180W supply delivers a sustained 90W to the host while all nine ports stay fully powered, so the laptop never loses charge under load.

How does the Thunderbolt 5 interface limit the number and resolution of external displays?

On a Thunderbolt 5 Windows PC you can run three 4K displays; on other hosts you get a single 8K, dual 6K or 8K, or two 4K@240Hz screens.
