Facing USB4 V2 & Thunderbolt 5 Testing Challenges in the PC Industry? We’ve Got You Covered.

As USB4 V2 and Thunderbolt 5 (TBT5) become mainstream in modern PCs, manufacturers face increasing pressure to validate high-speed transmission across  quickly, reliably, and at scale. However, traditional testing methods are no longer able to keep up with the complexity and rapid pace of today’s development cycles.

Here are the key pain points we hear from PC OEM/ODM partners:

Manual Lane Switching

Switching lanes manually adds unnecessary complexity, increases error rates, and consumes valuable engineering time.

Excessive Testing Time

Testing just one USB4 V2 port can take up to 7 hours for a transmitter test. For multi-port systems, that means days — or even weeks — of delay.

Multi-Port Testing Bottlenecks

Today’s PCs often feature several high-speed ports. Testing each one manually becomes a logistical nightmare, severely limiting scalability.

Resource Drain on Skilled Engineers

Highly skilled engineers are often tied up with repetitive manual tasks that could be automated. This misallocation of talent slows innovation and increases operational costs.

Limited Access to High-End Equipment

Advanced test instruments come with a high price, and most companies can’t afford to purchase them in large quantities. As a result, these scarce resources are constantly in demand. Without AI automation to streamline usage, testing becomes a bottleneck that slows down the entire development cycle.
