digits are independent, with each number representing a different level of protection.

LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt USB-C is also protected when it is dropped from heights up to 2 meters / 6.6
feet (in non-operating mode).
Note: For optimal performance, connect the product to a Thunderbolt or USB 3.1 host port on
