Short Thunderbolt 3 cable for tight setups

The Cables To Go 28840 is a 1.5 ft Thunderbolt 3 USB-C male-to-male cable in black. It suits users who need a short, high-speed link between two Thunderbolt 3 ports without excess slack. Builders working in compact enclosures or on crowded desks will appreciate the minimal length.

Fits directly between two Thunderbolt 3 ports

No adapters or extra cables are required; the connectors plug straight into compatible hosts, docks or devices. The short run keeps cable routing clean and frees up space around ports that would otherwise be occupied by longer leads. Backward compatibility with USB and DisplayPort protocols lets the same cable serve older peripherals.

Enables 40 Gbps data, dual 4K 60 Hz video

The bundle is the cable itself — no separate software or accessories are included. Its specification delivers up to 40 Gbps transfer with Thunderbolt 3 devices, drives two 4K 60 Hz displays, and carries up to 100 W for charging. Thunderbolt networking at 10 GbE and daisy-chaining of up to six devices are also supported.

Questions about this item

Does the 40Gbps data rate hold up over the full 1.5 ft length under sustained load?

How much heat or power draw should I expect when the cable runs at 100W all day?

The cable supports up to 100W power delivery; passive copper construction adds minimal heat during continuous use.
