Thunderbolt 5 Cable for High-Speed Data

This 0.8 metre cable delivers up to 80Gb/s of bi-directional data throughput and up to 120Gb/s for display bandwidth. It suits creative professionals and power users who need maximum throughput for external storage, docks or eGPUs. The male-to-male USB-C connectors work with Thunderbolt 5, 4, 3, USB4 and USB-C hosts. It is not for buyers who need longer reach than 31 inches.

Replacing Slower Thunderbolt or USB-C Cables

Swap out older Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 cables when transfer speed or display bandwidth is the bottleneck. The jump is worth it when moving large media libraries, driving high-resolution monitors or feeding power-hungry notebooks. Do not expect a benefit if the host port or peripheral tops out at lower Thunderbolt or USB speeds.

Plug-and-Play Install With Certified Power Delivery

Connect both ends and the link negotiates automatically; no drivers or firmware updates are required. The cable is lab certified for up to 240W at 48V/5A, so charging failures usually trace to an under-specified charger or port rather than the cable itself. Ensure both devices support the desired power profile before troubleshooting.

Questions about this item

Will the 31" length reach my Thunderbolt dock without pulling tight?

The cable measures .8 metres, which is 31 inches, giving enough slack for a desk-height dock while keeping the run short enough to maintain full 80Gb/s speed.

Do I need to install any driver before the 240W charging works?

No driver is required; the cable negotiates 48V/5A automatically when both ends support Thunderbolt 5 or USB Power Delivery 3.1, so charging starts the moment you plug in.

How often should I replace this cable to keep 120Gb/s display bandwidth?

There is no scheduled replacement; the passive copper construction has no wear items, so it will sustain 120Gb/s display bandwidth until physical damage occurs.
