Akitio T3NP-T3DIY-AKT Node Pro
Overview
The Node Pro 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.
Features
- Thunderbolt 3 for lightning fast transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps
- Dedicated DisplayPort for additional monitor to expand the
workspace
- 2nd Thunderbolt port supports Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1, and DisplayPort
devices
- USB power delivery provides 60W of power to recharge compatible
laptops
- Built-in 500W SFX power supply with an extra pair of 8-pin PCIe power
connectors
- 1 PCIe (x16) slot supporting full-length, full-height, double-width
cards
- 4 lane PCI Express 3.0 compliant interface
- Wire mesh panel to dissipate heat from cards with on-board fans
- Retractable carry handle to easily transport the device
- No tools required for installation of PCIe card
4 lane PCI Express 3.0 compliant interface
Supports PCIe Gen3 x4 cards
The PCIe (x16) slot accepts full-length, full-height, double-width cards and
provides a maximum of 75W. 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.
Two Thunderboltâ„¢ 3 (USB-C) connectors with Power Delivery
(PD)
Power Delivery (60W)
The reversible USB Type-C (USB-C) connector enhances ease of use for
connecting devices with a focus on minimizing user confusion for plug and cable
orientation. The Node Pro also supports power delivery (PD) over USB-C,
providing up to 3A at 5V, 9V, 15V, 20V with a maximum of 60W of power to
compatible laptops like the MacBook Pro (late 2016) that support charging
through the USB-C cable. This allows you to recharge your battery even though
the laptop is not plugged into any other power source.
Active cooling with large mesh panel
PSU fan
The fan for the power supply turns on and off automatically when
needed.
Case fan
The large fan at the bottom of the case pulls out the hot air from inside the
enclosure, keeping the the PCIe card cool during long hours of
operation.
Mesh panel
The mesh panel provides fresh air to keep the PCIe card cool and depending on
the on-board fan of the PCIe card, can be used for air intake or
exhaust.
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 Pro 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.
