How many PC can I connect with a thunderbolt dock

Hello, I have looked at your question and have found out that it is possible to connect about seven devices using the thunderbolt cable of specifications of length three meters maximum, Seven point for millimeters and height four point five millimeters (3m*7.4mm*4.5mm). This is using the copper one. It will send out a signal of about 10W. It has about 20 pins. Protocol: PCI Express, DisplayPort v1.1a. Good luck.

Hi Anthony E Cisneros

There are few things you should need to know

1. Thunder bolt cable length is 2m long and can be connected from both ends with thunderbolt connection devices.
2. You can connect multiple devices with single peripheral port. You can see the large number of different peripheral ports
3. which can be fit on particular devices. There can be some limits to put multiple devices on single peripheral port.
4. Standard allows you to maximum 6 numbers of devices you can put on single port but in a chain.
5. There can be the issue of saturating bandwidth of too much load on a single port. Enjoy
