CalDigit's compact Element Hub expands one Thunderbolt 4 port into three downstream TB4/USB4 ports and four 10Gbps USB-A ports, returning up to 60W of charging to the host. The single host link supports one 8K display or dual 4K@60Hz monitors in extended or mirrored modes. Each downstream Thunderbolt port supplies 15W and the USB-A ports up to 7.5W each, so a separate power adapter is required for full output.
