What This Product Does

The CSV‑1580 is a Thunderbolt™ 4 hub designed to expand a single Thunderbolt™ 4 port on a host system into multiple high‑speed ports.

It allows connection of displays, storage devices, and peripherals while also providing smart power delivery to the host system.



Important Compatibility Notice

Performance, including video resolution, refresh rate, data bandwidth, and power delivery, is limited by the capabilities of the host system, connected devices, and cables used.

The hub does not override host system or device limitations.

Some Apple macOS systems support Single‑Stream Transport (SST) only.
Dual‑display or multi‑display behavior depends on host system support and operating system capabilities.

This behavior is expected and does not indicate a product defect.







System Compatibility Notes

  • Designed for hosts supporting Thunderbolt™ 4
  • Compatible with:
    • Windows systems supporting Thunderbolt™ 4
    • macOS systems supporting Thunderbolt™ 3 or newer
  • Maximum display configurations supported:
    • Single display: up to 8K@30Hz
    • Dual displays: up to 2× 4K@60Hz

Actual results depend on host system and display support.


Cable Requirements

To achieve full performance:

  • Use a Thunderbolt™ 4 or USB4™ cable capable of 40 Gbps
  • When using cables other than the included cable, observe maximum cable lengths:
    • Thunderbolt™ 4: up to 2 m / 6.56 ft
    • USB4™: up to 0.8 m / 2.62 ft

Using cables that do not meet these specifications may limit performance.

Connection Instructions

  1. Connect the included USB4™ / Thunderbolt™ cable between the CSV‑1580 hub and the Thunderbolt™ port of the host system.
  2. Connect the power adapter to the CSV‑1580 and plug it into a wall outlet.
  3. Connect displays, storage devices, and peripherals to the available Thunderbolt™ and USB‑A ports on the hub.

Some connected devices may require driver or firmware updates to achieve optimal performance.

Power and Charging Behavior

  • External power is required for normal operation.
  • The hub supports Power Delivery 3.0.
  • Up to 100 W total power is available, with smart power distribution depending on system load.

Ready for Use

Once connected and powered, the CSV‑1580 hub is ready for operation.

You can now use connected displays, peripherals, and storage devices while benefiting from high‑speed data transfer and smart power delivery through a single Thunderbolt™ connection.






Common Questions

Does this hub support video output on all connected systems?
Video output depends on the host system’s Thunderbolt™ capabilities and the connected displays. The hub does not override host system limitations.

What display configurations are supported?
The hub supports a single display up to 8K@30Hz or two displays up to 4K@60Hz, depending on host system, operating system, and display support.

Can this hub be used with USB‑C® devices that are not Thunderbolt™?
Full functionality requires a Thunderbolt™ capable host. Using non Thunderbolt USB‑C® hosts may limit or disable video and data functionality.

Do all connected devices share bandwidth?
Yes. Data and video performance depend on how available Thunderbolt™ bandwidth is allocated among connected devices.

Is external power required?
Yes. External power is required for normal operation and for providing power delivery to the host system.

Does this hub change or enhance the capabilities of the host device?
No. The hub extends connectivity but does not change the performance characteristics or limitations of the host system.

Why might display behavior differ between operating systems?
Display behavior depends on the operating system and host system capabilities. macOS supports Single‑Stream Transport (SST) only, which may affect multi‑display behavior.
