C2G Canada C2G28820 Thunderbolt 5 cable 1.6 ft 80 Gbps

SKU CH-96V3-BXC29 MPN C2G28820

A 1.6 ft Intel-certified Thunderbolt cable delivering 80 Gbps bidirectional transfer, 120 Gbps asymmetric bandwidth, dual 8K 60 Hz video and 240 W power delivery

  • Intel-certified Thunderbolt cable for proven compatibility
  • 80 Gbps bidirectional speed for ultra-fast data transfer
  • 120 Gbps asymmetric bandwidth boost for demanding workloads
  • Up to 240 W power delivery charges high-performance devices
  • Daisy-chain up to 5 Thunderbolt devices without performance loss

What the cable does

This Intel-certified Thunderbolt 5 cable carries bidirectional data at up to 80 Gbps and can reach 120 Gbps in one direction. It supports dual 8K video at 60 Hz through DisplayPort Alt Mode and delivers up to 240 W of power. The 1.6 ft length and 0.19 in diameter keep the connection short and tidy.

Who should use it and who should not

Creative professionals and engineers moving large datasets between Thunderbolt 5 hosts and peripherals will benefit from the bandwidth headroom. Users who need longer runs for desk-to-rack setups or who only have USB 3 ports will not get the rated performance from this cable.

What the certification and daisy-chaining enable

Intel certification confirms compliance with the Thunderbolt 5 specification for reliability and interoperability. The cable allows daisy-chaining up to five Thunderbolt 4 or 5 devices, or up to six Thunderbolt 3 devices, without reducing throughput.

Questions about this item

Which ports must my computer and monitor have for the 80 Gbps link to work?

Both ends need Thunderbolt 5 USB-C ports to reach the full 80 Gbps bidirectional speed.

Will my Thunderbolt 3 dock still run at its rated speed when connected through this cable?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and will not limit the dock's performance.

How can I verify the cable is delivering the 120 Gbps asymmetric mode after setup?

Check the system's Thunderbolt control panel; it should report an active 120 Gbps link in the high-speed direction.
