Connect Premium features
Cambrionix Connect Premium is designed for enterprise-level use with advanced power, automation, and management needs.
Connect Premium
One-click DFU mode
Fast, reliable Device Firmware Upgrades
Quickly and securely upgrade Apple devices with per-port control. Place iOS devices and Apple silicon Macs with USB-C into DFU mode with one click or an API command, enabling rapid OS restoration.
Ideal for large-scale deployments where speed and reliability are critical. Available with ThunderSync5-C16 PD and ThunderSync3-C10 hubs.


Connect Premium
Target charge mode
Preserve device battery health and reduce energy consumption with intelligent charging control.
Set a target charge level in 5% increments. Once devices reach the selected percentage, power automatically switches off. This prevents overcharging, minimises power waste during out-of-hours testing, and extends battery lifespan.
You can also schedule charging sessions to align with your workflows.
Connect Premium
Port mode scheduling
Automate hub power management with scheduled port control.
Set defined times to turn all ports on or off simultaneously, aligning power cycles with your testing or deployment routines.
Each hub can follow its own schedule, giving you flexibility across multiple setups. Combine this feature with Target Charge Mode for even smarter, energy-efficient device management at the hub level.


Connect Premium
Power Delivery profile selection
Get intelligent, flexible power delivery tailored to your workflows.
Each port displays real-time current draw and power delivery, giving full visibility into how devices are powered.
Configure power output on a per-port basis to support devices with varying power consumption levels.
The ThunderSync5-C16 PD is our first hub with intelligent charging, distributing up to 285 W of total power dynamically across all 16 ports, with a maximum of 60 W per port. This ensures stable, efficient charging even under heavy testing loads.
