With Thunderbolt 5, users will experience a major upgrade in wired connectivity, featuring data transfer speeds of up to 120 Gbps — nearly three times that of Thunderbolt 4. This capability supports cutting-edge display technologies and offers enhanced power delivery, making it possible to transfer large files such as ultra-high-definition videos and detailed 3D models more swiftly than ever before. The result is a more efficient workflow, higher productivity and richer user experience.

UL Solutions uses Keysight’s Infiniium UXR B Series oscilloscopes, M8000 series high-performance BERT, and ENA vector network analyzers for Thunderbolt 5 certification validation.

Fred Shek, Senior Director, Engineered Materials, Greater China, UL Solutions, said: “We are pleased to collaborate with Keysight on Thunderbolt 5 certification testing. Their recognized leadership and deep knowledge in Thunderbolt technologies position them as the optimal partner to uphold the integrity and reliability of our certification efforts.”

Joachim Peerlings, Vice President and General Manager, Networks and Data Centers, Keysight, said: “Our alliance with UL and their choice of Keysight for Thunderbolt 5 product certification further establishes our position at the forefront of Thunderbolt solutions. This partnership highlights our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest levels of quality and reliability for our clients.”
