Thunderbolt 5 Cable 1.6ft

This 1.6ft Thunderbolt 5 cable delivers up to 240W power and 80Gbps data transfer for compatible devices. It supports 16K video output at 60Hz for demanding creative workflows. The USB-C to USB-C design works with Thunderbolt 3, 4 and 5 hardware. It suits professionals connecting high-performance docks, displays and storage.

Limits of Thunderbolt 5 interface

Maximum 80Gbps throughput requires both host and peripheral to support the same Thunderbolt 5 specification. The 240W charging ceiling depends on the power source and device negotiation. Dual 8K display output needs two separate cables. Actual speeds fall back to Thunderbolt 4, 3 or USB 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 levels when linked equipment is older.

1.6ft length constraint

The fixed 1.6ft length restricts placement to very close device pairs such as laptop-to-dock or desktop-to-hub setups. Buyers needing longer runs across a desk or between rooms cannot use this cable. No extension or alternative length is offered with this part number.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 1.6ft cable or look for a longer length?

The cable is 1.6ft long; pick this length when your devices sit close together, otherwise select a longer option to avoid tension on the connectors.

What does the 80Gbps rating actually deliver when I plug it into my laptop and SSD?

You can reach up to 80Gbps transfer speed, but only if both the host port and the storage device also support 80Gbps; otherwise the link runs at the highest speed they share.

How does the Thunderbolt 5 interface limit what I can do with this cable?

The Thunderbolt 5 interface caps data at 80Gbps, video at 16K@60Hz or dual 8K, and power at 240W (48V/5A), so every connected device must support those limits to use them fully.
