Node Lite
The Node Lite provides an additional PCIe slot for Thunderbolt 3 computers
(e.g. laptop computers) where installing an internal expansion card is not an
option and for systems where there is not enough space for more PCIe cards. The
Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connection not only makes adding an external PCIe card
easy but it also allows you to take the device with you to use on location and
move it from one system to another. Installing and replacing the PCIe card is a
simple matter of removing a few thumb screws and does not require any tools.
4 Lane PCI Express 3.0 Compliant Interface
Supports PCIe Gen3 x4 cards
The PCIe (x16) slot accepts half-length, full-height, double-width cards and
provides a maximum of 25W. The four PCIe Gen3 lanes and the Thunderbolt 3
interface are capable of transfer rates up to 40Gbps, providing enough bandwidth
for both the internal PCIe card as well as any additional Thunderbolt devices in
the daisy chain.
Thunderbolt Connectivity
Thunderbolt 3
Thunderbolt 3 brings Thunderbolt to USB-C at speeds up to 40 Gbps, creating
one compact port that does it all delivering the fastest, most versatile
connection to any dock, display, or data device. For the first time, one
computer port connects to Thunderbolt devices, every display, and billions of
USB devices. A single cable now provides four times the data and twice the video
bandwidth of any other cable, while also supplying power to bus-powered
devices.
The Node Lite has two Thunderbolt 3 ports. The second port operates the same
as a Thunderbolt 3 computer port by supporting Thunderbolt 3 (up to 5
daisy-chained), USB 3.1 (10 Gbps), and DisplayPort devices.
DisplayPort
The dedicated DisplayPort connector makes it easy to connect an additional
monitor to extend your workspace. This video output capability requires a
Thunderbolt 3 connection to the computer and will free up the second Thunderbolt
3 port for Thunderbolt 3 (up to 5 daisy-chained), USB 3.1 (10 Gbps), and
DisplayPort devices.

Remarks |
PCIe card (driver) must be compatible with requirements for Thunderbolt
technology (e.g. hot-plug support, recovery from
sleep). |
|
This device is not designed for graphics cards. The power and cooling
is insufficient and regular graphics cards are too long for this
case. |
|
The DisplayPort does not support DP++. When using an HDMI to
DisplayPort adapter, make sure to use an active
adapter. |
