Are NI PXIe Thunderbolt Devices Compatible With Thunderbolt 4 or 5?

Issue Details

I have a laptop with two USB Type-C Thunderbolt ports. Can this device work with the PXIe-8301 Thunderbolt controller, PXIe-1083, or PXIe-1090 chassis?
 

Solution

Thunderbolt™ technology is a cable connection interface developed by Intel over the last decade, and Thunderbolt 4 and 5 are newer Thunderbolt™ protocols than those used by the PXIe-8301, PXIe-1083, and PXIe-1090.
If the device supports Thunderbolt 3, it will support Thunderbolt 4 as well, because the latter is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and they also have the same connector. However, there is an exception to this rule. Systems that use a Maple Ridge-based internal controller with Thunderbolt™ 4 ports aren't compatible with these NI PXIe Thunderbolt devices. 

Likewise, due to the NI devices' compatibility with PICMG CompactPCI Express EXP.0 R2.0, the data transmission is done differently as compared to the Thunderbolt™ 5 protocol. Thus, these devices are not compatible with Thunderbolt™ 5 connections.

Additional Information

Thunderbolt™ 4 ports have the same high-speed 40Gbps bidirectional bandwidth as Thunderbolt™ 3. However, minimum PCIe data requirements have increased from 16 Gps to 32 Gps. This means a significant increase in transfer rates and performance. Moreover, it has a power delivery up to 100W.
