Solve the innovation vs. privacy deadlock with the Plugable TBT5-AI, a high-performance bare enclosure designed for the "Technical Builder." Where most AI is currently trapped in the cloud or throttled by weak mobile chips, this "computational vault" lets you architect your own private AI powerhouse. By hosting your own GPU at the desk, you achieve true "Intelligence YOU Own" while running powerful open-source models like Llama 3 locally and keeping sensitive prompts, proprietary code, and internal data entirely within your secure perimeter.

Engineered for breakthrough performance, the TBT5-AI leverages Thunderbolt 5 to deliver a massive 80Gbps of bi-directional bandwidth. Inside, you'll find a 850W ATX 3.1 (80+ Gold) power supply built with 100% Japanese capacitors, providing a dedicated 600W of power to your card. With 4 lanes of PCIe 4.0this enclosure supports triple-slot, high-end GPUs like the NVIDIA RTX 4090 or 50-series (RTX 5080), providing the VRAM and throughput necessary for large-scale AI inference and complex RAG pipelines.

Beyond its AI capabilities, the TBT5-AI serves as the ultimate professional workstation hub. A single included Thunderbolt 5 cable provides 96W host charging, ultra-fast 2.5Gbps Ethernet, and four 10Gbps USB ports for your high-speed peripherals. Designed for Windows 11, it is compatible with Thunderbolt 5, 4 and USB4 systems;USB4 must support eGPUs systems. Please Note: Supports GPUs up to 346mm x 170mm x 77mm. It is not compatible with macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, or Thunderbolt 3. Always verify your GPU's physical dimensions and power requirements before purchase to ensure a perfect fit.
