Thunderbolt 3 brings data transfers at speeds up to 40Gbps over USB-C, enabling a superset of standard USB-C to truly become one compact port that does it all—delivering the fastest, most versatile connection to any dock, display, or data device.<br><br>For the first time, one port can connect numerous Thunderbolt devices, any display, and billions of USB devices (additional adapters may be required). Thunderbolt 3 cables are primarily used for connecting docking stations, high performance data storage solutions, peer-to-peer networking, and more.<br><br><b>Note:</b> This cable is incompatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge and other (non USB-IF Power Delivery) “Fast Charge” technologies.<br><br>The Plugable TBT3-40G80CM cable is foremost designed as a Thunderbolt 3 cable, but it is also a universal USB-C cable for use with USB-C computers, phones, tablets, docking stations, accessories, and more. It supports all USB-C cable features, including USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 data lines, wire gauge supporting up to 5A charging via the USB-IF PD (Power Delivery) standard 100W max (5V-20V), and support for reporting its capabilities as an electronically marked cable.<br><br><b>A Cable That Does It All</b><br>- 1.6ft/0.8m long<br>- 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3<br>- Dual 4K 60Hz video output or single 5K outputs<br>- Thunderbolt 3 peer-to-peer 10Gbps networking<br>- Supports up to 5Gbps transfer over USB-C 3.0 hosts and devices<br>- Wire gauge and electronic marking support up to 5A charging (5V-20V, 100W max)<br>- Cable supports previous USB generations such as USB 1.1, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0<br><br><b>Massive 40Gbps Bandwidth</b><br>Because the cable is designed for Thunderbolt 3, it is also capable of supporting data transfer speeds four times as fast as standard USB-C cables. The available 40Gbps bandwidth allows for dual 4K 60Hz video outputs (or a single 5K output) and up to 100W (20V, 5A) capabilities when used with compatible systems and Thunderbolt 3 accessories. Please note for USB-C usage this cable is limited to USB-C 3.0 (5Gbps).
