Bring your rackmount Apollo up to Thunderbolt 3. The Universal Audio TBOC-3 Thunderbolt 3 Option Card is a user-installable card for all Apollo rackmount models. It connects your Apollo directly to compatible Mac or Windows systems over Thunderbolt 3 and also gives Thunderbolt 3 to Apollo and Apollo 16 FireWire models.
