OWC Thunderbolt 5 Cable 0.3 m 240 W

This OWC Thunderbolt 5 cable measures 0.3 m (11.8") and carries a 240 W power rating at 48 V/5 A. It supports up to 80 Gb/s of bi-directional data speed and up to 120 Gb/s for higher display bandwidth. The male-to-male USB-C connectors work with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4 and USB-C devices. It suits professionals who need short, high-power links between docks, displays, eGPUs, PCIe expansion, external SSDs or RAID storage.

Installation ease and common issues

The cable plugs straight into any compatible USB-C port with no drivers or software required. Its short length reduces clutter but limits reach between devices placed far apart. Users sometimes mistake the 120 Gb/s figure for sustained data throughput; that rate applies only to display bandwidth, while data tops out at 80 Gb/s. Ensure both host and peripheral support the desired Thunderbolt or USB standard to achieve rated performance.

Checks before ordering

Verify that your computer and target device each have a USB-C port that supports Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3 or USB4 for full speed. Confirm the 0.3 m length is sufficient for your desk or rack layout. Check that the connected hardware can accept up to 240 W of power delivery if you intend to charge a high-draw notebook. This cable is not suited for buyers who need longer runs or who require legacy Thunderbolt 1 or 2 connectivity.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Cable is delivering the full 80Gb/s bi-directional data speed after connecting it?

Check the Thunderbolt control panel or system report on your Mac or PC; it will show the active link speed and confirm the cable is operating at the certified 80Gb/s rate.

What comes with the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Cable and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains only the 0.3 M (11.8") Male-to-Male cable itself; you will need to provide the Thunderbolt 5 host device, peripheral, dock or display to complete the connection.

Which OWC Thunderbolt 5 Cable length should I choose for a desktop setup?

The 0.3 M (11.8") length is intended for tight, close-range links such as a dock sitting right next to a laptop; choose a longer cable if your devices are further apart.
