Are there any tools on mac that shows how much bandwidth is being used on a usb/thunderbolt port? I've always suspected that I'm saturating the connection from laptop to hub but don't have a definitive way of knowing for sure. When I move my second monitor off the hub and plug directly into a different usb port on my laptop I seem to have less problems.

CL!ng may be what you're looking for [1]. The app is available in the App Store, but I have not tested it. [1]: https://egpu.io/forums/mac-setup/monitoring-thunderbolt-bandwidth/#post-56524 https://egpu.io/forums/mac-setup/monitoring-thunderbolt-band...

You can use a cable like this https://www.amazon.com/Wiredge-Display-Charging-Braided-Compatible/dp/B09QC4QKPQ https://www.amazon.com/Wiredge-Display-Charging-Braided-Comp... Note I am not recommending this specific cable; it is just the first one that showed up in my search.

  That cable only shows power draw not bandwidth. And I'm not aware of a cable that does show bandwidth.

Wireshark has usb tools, might be derivable.
