What this cable is and who needs it

The AddOn USBCTBOLT12MW is a USB C to USB C cable built for Thunderbolt data transfer. It suits users who need a direct connection between two USB-C ports for moving files or linking compatible peripherals. Buyers who require a different connector type or a longer reach than four metres should look elsewhere.

Behaviour under sustained load

The cable carries USB 3.1 signals across its four-metre length without an active repeater noted in the data. Signal integrity over that distance depends on the quality of the host and device controllers. No specifications for thermal limits or maximum continuous throughput are provided by the manufacturer.

Installation and common issues

Connection is a simple plug-in on both ends with no driver installation required for the cable itself. Problems usually arise when a port does not support the Thunderbolt protocol or when the four-metre length exceeds the host controller's passive-cable limit. Checking port labelling before purchase avoids the most frequent mismatch.

Questions about this item

Does the 4-metre length of this Thunderbolt cable cause any signal degradation or heating when used at full speed all day?

The cable is rated for Thunderbolt data rates at its full 4-metre length, so it maintains signal integrity without active cooling during continuous use.

What ports must my host and device already have to use this USB C to USB C cable?

Both ends require a USB-C port that supports Thunderbolt signalling; standard USB-C ports without Thunderbolt will fall back to USB 3.1 speeds.

Will this cable work with older USB 3.1 or USB 3.0 Type-C gear I still own?

Yes, it is backward-compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 2 and earlier USB-C devices, though Thunderbolt features will not be available on legacy hosts.
