Thunderbolt 5 Cable 1.6 ft
This Thunderbolt 5 cable measures 1.6 feet and supports up to 80 Gbps data transfer and 240 W power delivery. It is designed for users who connect USB-C devices such as SSDs, hubs or docking stations. The cable handles single 16K at 60 Hz or dual 8K video output. It suits professionals needing high bandwidth and fast charging in a short length.
Thermals noise and power in normal use
The cable delivers up to 240 W at 48 V and 5 A when paired with a compatible charger, enabling rapid charging for phones, accessories and gaming laptops. In typical operation it runs without active cooling and produces no audible noise. Power draw matches the connected device's requirements up to the 240 W ceiling. The 1.6-foot length keeps resistance low for efficient energy transfer.
Sustained load behaviour
At the full 80 Gbps rate the cable can move 25,000 HD photos or roughly 7 hours of HD video in one minute. Bandwidth scales to 20 Gbps, 40 Gbps or 80 Gbps depending on the host port generation. The 16K at 60 Hz or dual 8K video signal remains stable during extended sessions. No thermal throttling occurs because the passive design has no active components to overheat.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the cable to reach 80 Gbps and 240 W charging?
Plug the USB-C connectors into a Thunderbolt 5 or USB4 Gen4 port on both devices and use a 48 V / 5 A charger; the cable itself carries the full 80 Gbps bandwidth and 240 W power rating.
Will the connectors or shielding degrade over time?
The cable is passive with no active electronics; only the USB-C plugs and braided jacket can wear, so replace it if the latch feels loose or the sheath shows cuts.
What limits sustained throughput first during a long transfer?
The host controller drops from Gen4 80 Gbps to Gen3 40 Gbps or Gen2 20 Gbps if thermals or firmware throttle the link.
